What are those stupid lookin' nose strips for ??

[affeman]

Every other "athlete" seems to be wearing them lately, what are they even good for? Are they actually doing anything or is it just another scam?

[NaturalWonder83]

Suppose to help with breathing.

Only people I've seen wearing them are "fitness influencers" and fitness "V-Loggers." They all wear them during their "morning routines" and their "full days of eating."

I'm guessing they all probably have "links in the description" for you to purchase your own. Mindset would be: "If my favorite super duper successful fitness star wears them, I should as well. And then I will be successful like them!"

Stay away from them. They are worthless. Don't make the influencers rich.

How would some f*ing duct tape you stick onto your nasal bridge help you with breathing? lol

[GymnJuice]

What sizes are available?

Breathing strips. They've been around forever in the athletic world. The bodybuilding industry is just now catching on. A little slow

Well I think it pulls on the nasal passage area making it easier to nose-breathe?

Everything can work if you believe it does. Athletes used to have tape criss-crossing their muscles; is that still popular? I remember some ridiculing it.

Different passive muscle manipulations are also scientifically controversial but many athletes believe in them.

Kinesiology taping. Still a little popular with Crossfit folks, but not to the extent it was years ago.

The breathing strips / nose spreaders got popular with the sleep apnea folks years ago. They were suppose to hold your nosterils open for better air flow, not sure it that's what it's sold for in bodybuilding. I have small nostrils, i need the Kai Greene tapes.

[Lartinos]

I don’t wear them for breathing. Im trying to get a wider nose.

[Rambone]

I’m natty also. Therefore I do not use them

[unwieldy]

To curtail hyperplasia of the nostrils

Arnold, Dorian, etc. never needed any of those strips.

[Grape Ape]

I use for sleeping, it helps eliminate snoring.

Would never consider for exercise.

And the tape doesn't work, but this does, and I suggest it to anyone who needs help:

I think you’re confusing them with RockTape

[Flexacon]

So one fad was masks that restricted breathing and another fad is strips that improves breathing. The whole industry is a joke

Remember this crap?

I would categorize more for athletic performance on the field but Grape is correct when he says it's good for snoring and/or apnea. They weren't around during Arnolds time and I don't think even in Dorians days.

No, we've used a lot of Rocktape when I had my facilities and when I was a team S&C coach. Different product all together

I think sleeping on your side also reduces snoring / apnea. It's dangerous to sleep on your back with your head straight up. Do you use those strips when you sleep? If so, does it help? I have a CPAP and barely used it. It's been sitting next to the bed for years. I just can't bother with a dumb mask on my face.

Bought some once, didn`t notice a  damn thing.

Try nasal pillows ...I resisted CPAP for so long...falling asleep at stoplights...until I finally made it work properly.
The euphoria of getting proper sleep that first time is unforgettable.

I just had a thought in my head, wonder if sleep apnea increases hematocrit because of the hypoxia? Sure enough, AI says it does. But I'm sure any "doping" effect is cancelled out by the poor sleep which causes everything to go to shit. When I hit a certain BW I'm sure I have sleep apnea but seems to resolve when lighter. obsidian I think it's crazy you don't use your machine but I do plenty of stupid stuff to myself so I can't really talk One complaint I saw was the big masks caused a wrinkly face with new deep lines.
