Wim Hof

This "extreme athlete" looks like shit for being 63.

This is what happens to you when you chronically elevate cortisol and adrenaline thru fasting, cold exposure and intense breath work.

        My father is 62 and literally looks 15 years younger. Wim has been agemaxxing, admit it.

        Good for you guys, you know a few exceptions. But we're not talking about exceptions and outliers, we're talking about the AVERAGE 63-year-old, and yes, the AVERAGE 63-year-old looks just like him.

        No way he looks 83. They have white hair and look a lot frailer. He does look 60s but maybe like mid/late 60s. Also he's not fat which makes him better than the average 60-something in a developed country.

        >About fifteen years ago Wim was swimming at a fountain in Amsterdam and decided to give himself an enema on the nozzle of the jet. He says he has done it before, but a few weeks earlier the city altered the jet to have a more powerful spout. So when he sat on the hose the water cut through his colon and intestines like a water knife. His son Michael (who he was meeting at the park) took him to the ER. Wim has pretty good ability to resist pain so the hospital did not triage him to surgery immediately because they didn't understand how serious the injury was. After a few hours he fainted and they realized how bad it was. The doctors stitched him up but rightly feared the risk of sepsis. It took him a long time to recover. He says that he used no antibiotics during recovery.

          Seriously though who the frick thinks to give themselves a pond water enema are you kidding, this is the same mind that developed some life changing breathing technique? I think not, I think probably some kind of Tibetans or monks came up with the breathing method and this guy repackaged it. Sad story about his wife suiciding and being upset about it so finding an outlet (quite literally in a sense here). Jokes aside though that shit is sad, I do wonder if anything else was going on, usually female suicide rate is pretty low.

                Wim Hof isn't the only one talking about cold exposure/immersion, he's not the only one teaching what is essentially hyperventilating to pre-emptively purge C02 from the bloodstream. You have to be actually literally moronic to die from doing this shit. It's exactly the same as crossfitters snapping themselves the frick up doing powercleans with no experience or training.

                To the not moronic fitizens, try doing the breathing technique before deadlifting/benching/squating. Shit is nuts.

                They don't die from breathing fast, they drown. Häyperventilation can make you black out quite easily. If you are neck deep in water hyperventilating and lose consciousness, your head will likely nod underwater, you'll inhale water, and that's what kills you.

              So, Wim practices water breathing with others when there are spotters and helpers available in case something goes wrong

              People do it alone and die, and that proves the methods are bad?

              Doing the breathing techniques actually super charged my cardio. I was running at a 6mph pace, and would get out of breath. Started doing wim hof and literally never felt out of breath again. After heavy lifts I wouldn't be breathing hard either, it was great.

              I did disrespect his advice and have negative outcomes a few times, and its my fault. I was holding my breath while taking the trash out and passed out in my driveway.

              I don't blame the methods, I blame my own stupidity.

      >About fifteen years ago Wim was swimming at a fountain in Amsterdam and decided to give himself an enema on the nozzle of the jet. He says he has done it before, but a few weeks earlier the city altered the jet to have a more powerful spout. So when he sat on the hose the water cut through his colon and intestines like a water knife. His son Michael (who he was meeting at the park) took him to the ER. Wim has pretty good ability to resist pain so the hospital did not triage him to surgery immediately because they didn't understand how serious the injury was. After a few hours he fainted and they realized how bad it was. The doctors stitched him up but rightly feared the risk of sepsis. It took him a long time to recover. He says that he used no antibiotics during recovery.
      Its actually a pretty wild story

      He's just in his 60s homie. That's nothing nowadays. He doesn't look like a modern 63 year old he looks like 63 in the fricking bronze age.

    He literally has visible abs, pecs, and obliques when he stands up straight. Most 63 year olds are already turning into immobile sacks of shit at that point

            I don't care what moronic nonsense you have to say. The average 63 year old looks nothing like the man in the OP. The average 63 year old is 200.3 pounds at 5 feet 8.7 inches tall. That is obese. The average 63 year old looks like absolute shit with no muscle definition whatsoever. Now frick off and never respond to me again, idiot.

    The virgin wim hof hyperventilating vs the chad buteyko hypoventilation

    Carbon dioxide is so good for you that soda water baths can cure diabetic foot ulcers and FDR bought an entire fricking carbonated spring resort because it made him able to stand up despite his polio. Blacking out when hyperventilating is because you need co2 to exchange for oxygen in hemoglobin, it's called the bohr effect.

      if it's so good for you, why do we have the feel of being out of breath and needing to breathe DIRECTLY tied to the CO2 in our blood?
      You don't feel a lack of oxigen ya know, you feel the CO2 building up in your blood and the need to breathe to get rid of it.

        Maybe it's just easier to sense co2 rather than o2. There's a co2/o2 mixture called carbogen, you can inhale it no problem and it seems to have some health effects. Hyperventilation produces all the tingling/numbness/blacking out because you pump out too much co2 and the bohr effect stops working, you're in effect suffocating but you can't sense the co2 so you don't feel out of air.

    Willful suffering is a big time grift now, Wim Hof, Goggins, Jocko, lots of others. There is a section of damaged people who believe that making themselves uncomfortable or suffer elevates them above others. It's almost religious.

      This meme word gets thrown around all the time about everything now. It has completely lost meaning. Wim's techniques have held up to scientific scrutiny time and time again. He stated that he didn't want to be known as a bullshitter so he does or at least did shit tons of tests with scientists to prove his claims.
      Sounds like you're just a b***h-ass Black person sippin that haterade
