Wim Hof / Breathing

>>41638902

Usually, this trip is still quite tiring, especially on the way back since it's always going up for the 140m elevation and I got between 5 to 10kg of groceries in my hands for the 4km there.

But I decided during my way back that I wanted to try something out. So I started doing «Wim Hof» breaths, and decided not to stop until I feel the usual tingling and/or dizziness. And I thought “Well, since I'll be removing CO2 and becoming more alkaline through this breathing but the fast walking with incline will increase CO2 production and produce lactic acid, how about I just go a bit faster and try to adapt the over-breathing by guessing, seeing how I feel during the trip”.

And so I did. And so I climbed this shit up power-walking like crazy, not feeling anything near as tired as I used to, running a bit just to see if I could still get my muscles tired and feel like I'm losing energy (and I did, so I stopped running). 4Km 140m incline about 20 minutes, sweating like crazy but not feeling tired of achy at any time.

Guess what ? I'm not quite good at cardio usually, been running for only about 2 months (but working out for about a year now) and when I came back to my place, I was sweaty as fuck but not out of breath at all. I just stopped over-breathing and went back to normal, slow and mildly deep nose breaths. My heart calmed down as you would expect, fast but not instantly.

So basically, my question is this : Did I just (almost) discover superhuman breathing or is this shit actually known by everyone here and/or all athletes (especially endurance) ?

But it's actually not. If you don't believe me just try the Wim Hof breathing, takes your less than 5 min, can be done sitting in front of your computer. Then you'll be able to try with cardio-like exercice if you're interested.

OP. Its not weird. It makes sense. Wim uses it to climb mountains and run marathons at the arctic circle. Usually you should not follow this method of breathing unless you are sitting lying down. Bad shit has happened to people standing up, you can lose consciousness and collapse. Next time do breathing exercise before you go to the shop, but otherwise well done.

Well I think the risk of doing it standing up is doing it without exercice and without listening to your body well enough.

Although if i'm gonna try to do the full breath (hence with breath hold) without exercice and push my limits, I'll most definitely do it lying down in case of passing out ^^

Pic vaguely related but I guess it bumps shit up. Haven't been hanging in 4chan for a few years.

TL;DR; This study demonstrated wim hof method increased the immune system.

Wim Hof is a blessed God in human flesh. Definitely an avatar/incarnation of Wotan.

There's a torrent of a PDF and all videos for his 8 week program. Really brilliant stuff, and it's all backed up with studies for sceptics.
