What's the point of those things? I see dudes in the gym and they look like Bain. First time I saw a guy in one, it scared the shite out of me

If you're talking about what I think you are, it restricts airflow so you "train your body to use less oxygen," which is supposed to increase your VO2max. I think it's a bunch of bs and makes you look like a douche though.

Will this turn into a Crossfit bash thread?

I may get one when I start a rowing regime.

We have a guy in the gym from Colorado and he is killing everyone down here with his mad cardio skills because he can breathe so much easier.

Unless you are training to be a pro athlete you look dumb as shite.

Clearly you haven't tried it before. Can't match that high, man. Or those gains.

Unless your body has the ability to disregard biology, physics, and the rest of science, you look dumb as shite.
