hyperbolic chamber? is that a chamber in which a distinguished university graduate, such as yourself (or your beloved queen vissy) tells wildly exaggerated stories (about giants, for instance)?

I've heard that it would be much more beneficial to someone like a distance runner, where energy systems used are more aerobic vs. traditional anaerobic exercises used by Bodybuilders. Kind of the same thing with EPO doping.

Maybe someone has a better answer but I remember asking an old Biochemistry Prof who was also a bodybuilder  this question and this was what I remember.

Of course. Because of their extreme athleticism and the injuries that go.along with it. Hahahahahaha!

It would benefical in the increased rate it helps heal injuries and the increased oxygen in the muscles to name a few.

Yes Coach, we can all laugh,its bodybuilding ha,ha. Theres no doubt anyone let alone athletes would benefit. My question is how much better can it make a bodybuilder directly or indirectly and in what ways? Injuries alone would be huge and with being enhanced and superoxygenated, workouts would be better, higher and higher energy.

If you are a NPC national level or IFBB bodybuilder. It should certainly be apart of the arsenal ideally year around, but at least for the bulking and precontest phase of a show. No doubt about it. Too many benefits not do it. Dont know the cost of the therapy but Phil, Kai, Jay, guys on that level should look into it., they have the cash flow.

Btw 240, when jay had his arm "injury" which left the bruise, depending on when it happened, had he used the chamber it could have cleared that bruise within hours.

Seriously wiggs, think about this. What is hyperbaric used for? 95% of bodybuilders.don't train hard enough to break a sweat let alone anything else.

I can only speak to guys Ive seen train in the past. Jay, Kai, Ronnie and all the clips and videos ive seen from the 90s and 00s show that training would certainly benefit from it. Theres no doubt about it.

Ill write the benefits a third time for you. Injuries, including bruises, the benefit of the extra blood volume from the peds plus enriching that extra blood with oxygen would certainly be beneficial.

current bodybuilders and athletes are of different molds.. the body composition of  a bodybuilder would obviously demand a higher volume of tissue oxygenation as opposed to the athlete.. further, his current drug regimen could also expose his pos/neg response to  a much higher atmospheric pressure of oxygen.. Rem.. to those knowledgable in their biochem... this technology was theoretically established to compete w/ hemoglobin's sudden uptake of CO instead of 02.due to whatever cause of poisoning..... this is def a dangerous game that these so called bodybuilders are playing..esp if they enjoy being under eventual metabolic acidosis on top of having a cascade of other numerous complications that inevitably will follow.... the athlete has better assimilated his production of energy (ATP) via aerobic conditions.. this shall play a key role in their physiological responses

Although, I know bodybuilder are the most doped up of the bunch, professional athletes are dirty also. I believe a safe and very beneficial program could be created knowing what all these guys are on. No doubt.

increased intracellular exposure to elevated atmospheric pressure of oxygen will always be relative to the individual .. to say "safe" and increased oxygenation to a juiced athlete is not really applicable.. 02 regulation within the body has it's systematic effects w/ regards to cardiovascular and respiratory systems(everything is interconnected)... the body's response to such a drastic change of pressure cannot be easily determined just coz one knows his drug protocol... the body's adaptive response may be too spontaneous and much too late for the individual to recover.  ie/ sudden cardiac arrest, stroke, endless possibilities..  this is a much more scary technique than what the sport's world is making it out to be.. more needs to be researched

there is much left to be said of its universal appeal at this point in time... i'll admit to not have a full understanding behind the whole mechanism of this technology(just have a rough idea of its concepts).. BUT from a medical standpoint --> the numerous oxygen-related disorders that abruptly change the landscape of a healthy individual into one that is induced into a coma, hypovolemic shock, cardiac arrest, --> the list is endless.. the body's response is endless... esp w/ their new predisposition due to certain drug profiles running currently in their system...ie/ certain drugs(steroids) already facilitate a faster/more readily release of oxygen (via hemoglobin) to peripheral tissues.. additive effects relative to each individual is not easily predictable.. i see too much danger--esp w the current policies against PEDS...   an athlete not speaking the truth of his usage (which is more likely than not) can seriously put himself/herself in harm's way

Please explain in detail and with proof (literature based proof from pubmed, NCBI or New England Journal of Medicine), how you arrived at such conclusions (hyperbaric chamber therapy induced sudden cardiac arrest and/or stroke).

If anything, all published studies suggest that hyperbaric chambers are actually used to aid in the recovery of victims from both strokes and sudden cardiac arrest who have been resuscitated.

I'm curious what led you to these conclusions,

No one has denied it wouldn't work. Danny-boy threw out a shitload of risks, although I don't know if there's any science backing any of it especially with bodybuilders.

I know it would work and work very well to the point where bodybuilders would question why they never did it before.

Explain then doc.

In short, if a patient has a non-healing wound on their foot, ankle or wherever secondary to a circulatory issue for example.
This wound will not heal if there is no blood supply, hyperbarics or not, sadly.
Ins. companies do reimburse well for this treatment and that is the reason they exist, no studies have shown a real use for them.

If a patent has had a CVA and is paralyzed, that part of the brain is dead, hyperbarics or not etc...

As I have stated, I am no expert in the complete mechanism of hyperbaric tech other than that it increases atmospheric pressure of pure oxygen... Normally used for carbon monoxide poisoining...  I was going by the assumption that these current bodbuilders are abusing numerous performance drugs other than steroids (ie/ blood thinners, diuretics, thyroid hormones, etc.).  Here, the dispersion of  of prior drug abuse(w varied drug protocol) may lead each individual to being more susceptible to producing Oxygen radicals(just as an example-toxic to body) Increased atmospheric pressure on individual already experiencing hypertension=thus leading to higher cardio output...  I was simply giving my understanding of hypothetical possibilitieswhere one cannot automatically deem this practice safe on universal grounds right now... Def suggest rigorous screening of athlete prior
