Bas Rutten, O2 Trainer - Resistance Training for Your Lungs

So I saw this and I thought I am gonna give this a shot! Are there similar products on the market?....yeah I am sure. I think Bas Rutten is cool as and I suffer from mild Asthma.

I have to take two puffs of a blue inhaler b4 I train Jitz or I gas out in like 10 seconds lol

So I thought it is worth a shot and the concept/idea around it seems pretty solid to me.

Got it yesterday, its basically an inhaler that you can adjust how much air it pulls in..forcing your lungs to work hard to pull in air. It has 14 settings, 1-10 are to be used while training, the hole for allowing air in gets progressivly smaller and 11-14 are to be used at rest when you are at home etc.

I have only so far used it while at home, breathing through my diaphragm etc.

On my peak flow meter I average about 500, sometimes 450 sometimes 550 depending. So I am going to use this when I am doing my kettle bell workout and use it when at home chilling.

So far I am impressed with the build quality and everything, cost me £50 from the EU reseller, its $50 in the USA. Its made in China...so he making a killing on it for sure hahaha

I am all for trying things that will improve my health in general and improve my grappling in general.

I shall update my grapplers guide training log thing (Assignment 1) with updates about how well/if at all its helping.
