Oxygen4Energy President Says Canned Oxygen Could Have Helped Shane Carwin Against Brock Lesnar

maybe we can see more exciting fights because they wont be so gassed … but then again some people might not train as hard. and it wouldnt be fair to the other guy, so nevermind what i just said… i am against it … i think…..lol

My buddy just graduated with a Respiratory Therapy degree and I asked him about the canned oxygen. He looked for some research but only found a study on football players taking oxygen. The study showed they got no real benefit from it except for a placebo effect. He wouldn’t say much beyond that.

It seems to me that there’s only so much oxygen you can pull into the blood at one time.

Wasn’t Carwin looking for a cure to his problem? Someone tweet him this please. lol

IM WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Last I checked it was called conditioning, and the HW division needs it badly. Im very much against Canned Oxygen in between rounds, conditioning is part of the game get use to it.

Shit whats next? Stunt doubles for deeper rounds?

would have been the strategy of making Brock stand and trade.

Had he not cycled off the roids.

Mr self-righteous still hasn’t acknowledged anything. It sucks cycling off of performance enhancing drugs, your body just doesn’t want to perform.

It’s a hard lesson to learn Mr. Carwin.

Is using recreational oxygen safe?
Yes. All research indicates that oxygen toxicity only occurs after breathing virtually pure oxygen for hours at a time. Recreational canned oxygen typically has less than 2 minutes of continuous flow oxygen per can, is not delivered in pure form and is administered in short bursts. There is no research indicating that short bursts of oxygen can be detrimental to your health. In addition, our cans do not have airtight delivery systems, so even though their may be 90-95% oxygen in the cans, that’s not even close to what you are getting in your lungs.

So what’s the fucking point again? Am I missing something?

This is bullshit. Part of fighting is working your way through fatigue. I think thats part of what makes the warrior.

oxygen’s only going to help if the body has the ability to carry it into the red blood cells then into the muscles..if you train properly you build up buffers in the muscles which will neutralize lactic acid, or at least delay its muscle fatiguing effects. This is why a person can do maybe 20 pushups as a beginner, then if he trains by adding reps every so often he’ll eventually hit 100..or more! Oxygen will NOT help a fighter..you can prove it to yourself..keep taking deep breaths (hyperventilate) until you begin to feel a little lightheaded (your blood oxygen is a little too high at that point) and see if your endurance or recovery is any better..it won’t be. This is just a gimmick and under laboratory conditions has been shown many times to have NO positive benefits to athletes. Carwin should try working out next time.

I’m very against one fighter having oxygen privleges over the other, but if both fighters are able to use canned oxygen in a hypothetical situation, the person with the better cardio would still come out of the round break fresher. I’m not super knowledgable about human biology, but I believe cardio is your bodies ability to hold more oxygen in the blood (VO2 Max?) and its ability to utilize said oxygen. If your cardio is defficient all the oxygen in the world won’t do you any good because your body is not adapted to utilize that much oxygen at once efficiently.

It’s similar to a steroid situation. All the juice in the world won’t do you any good if you don’t train, eat, and rest properly, or administer the steroids properly for that matter.

PROPER TRAINING

comparing it to drinking water between rounds is not a good fit. The reason fighters are allowed drink water between rounds is because if they’re well hydrated they reduce the chance of incuring brain trauma from a shot to the head. Oxygen is a safe way to make the fight faster, but so are any number of things, like letting people mix sugar in their water. Water, and the electrolytes to help distribute it within your body, are the only things you’re gonna ingest that will legit make the bout safer. If people gassing is a concern, what I might recommend instead is letting people have a 75 second break between rounds instead of 60 seconds. It would be uniform for everyone and would be more effective than an oxygen can.
