That my friend, is what they call 'Bro Science'.Sorry they gave you shit, but (this is for the gym owners...etc) I have been reading up on some of this "mask business " and it does show that people wearing a mask get lower concentrations of O2...People that run/do events at higher altitudes, but don't live in one, have to do what's called "altitude training" , which involves the person training to wear a MASK which will deprive them of some oxygen, in order for the individual to build up their cardio/respiratory system...,"by restricting the user's breathing, the device (mask) may improve cardio respiratory fitness ". Ok, that's all fine and dandy, if you're TRAINING for an event at a higher altitude, bottom line, it's (mask) is restricting O2 intake...Funny story...I was at my "gym" this morning.
I was using one of those press machines that you can put the weights one...a shoulder press machine.
The mask rule for this 'Gym' is, when you are not engaged in an active 'set' you can must have your mask on.
Now...I don't know how dear reader exercises...but i am old school...I do not fuck around...heavy and little rest...go go go...out.
Anyone ever been out of breath from exertion? Do you want to immediately don a mask?
No...you don't...because you are trying to BREATHE.
So...I finish my set..I am rearranging the weights..adding...taking away...guy comes up who works there..
"Sir, when you are not actively doing a set you need to have your mask on"
I said "ok"
I started to put the mask on...then I thought.."no...fuck this...I'm out of here...I don't need this shit anymore"
So, I remove all of the weight and walk out...without the mask on.
The same guy follows me through the gym..."You do not have your mask on as I instructed you...sir"...muffle muffle...
I couldn't understand half of what he said...because he had a fucking mask on.
I am walking away telling him "ok...have a great day...you too...thank you...have a great day"
Look I know this guy is not TRYING to break my balls...he is 'Just Doin His J-O-B'
So I am as polite as possible.
Finally I reach the door..."Sir...I am going to revoke your membership"
"Great...PLEASE DO..." Then I spelled my surname loudly...and left.
This shit is absurd...people have lost their fucking minds.
Bro science guys think that by putting a oxygen restrictor on your face you can achieve the same result as an oxygen reduced atmosphere. Not the same thing...Bro.
That Shit does NOT work. That was a big fad some years ago...I would see these dickheads in the gym lifting and running with them.
