69 years old, NO supplemental oxygen, AND a chest infection, and he still scales Everest and dies right after

Sad to make his wife a widow, but that’s going out like a G

Oh yea it was a stupid decision

But to be able to make it to the top of that mountain at age 69, without any supplemental oxygen, and with a serious-sounding chest infection….probably 99% of people on earth couldn’t accomplish that physical feat at that age

And I wonder if people who see summiting as a self-actualization moment, especially at an advanced age like his, actually don’t care if they die immediately after. Or it could just be a combination of “I spent 50k on this and this is my last chance in life” + the brain being deprived of oxygen fucking with a person’s ability to reason the risk

Say no more, fam. Never done one, not all that interested in starting

Saunas though, won’t give those up. Love ‘em, the hotter the better, and my current gym’s is the hottest I’ve felt

it's my layman's understanding that ice baths are actually beneficial for long-distance runners/endurance athletes immediately after a 1hr+ exertion. i believe there is even data out there supporting it now, though I am too lazy to dig that up

and yea, sauna's are def proven to be beneficial for just about every human, working out or not

i do whatever youtube tells me to do..elevated mood guaranteed, if taken as prescribed. frozen towels were used to effect patient's mood in Linehan's biography.

also "banya day"

but thats all for peace of mind...yall are talking about performance. ketogenesis looks advantageous over carb as fuel the longer the race i have heard.

Well if I can get to an ice bath after the half-m in Jan I’m down to try. But it’s your fault if I go into shock because I’m a little bitch when it comes to cold [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

One of my favorite youtubers is an actual doctor. Here's his take on ice baths:

For those that don't want to click the link....ice baths are basically bunk.
