    I am spending about an hour a day in a Hyperbaric Chamber (Hyper - not
    Hypo) -

    4psi, very high oxygen concentration

    (I am doing this for a couple of health reasons / helping my son with
    autism)

    I have read that this will also help in recovering from muscle fatigue
    in "getting back into shape" - I have tested this and it seems to be
    true. I can bury myself in a ride and feel fine the next day (after
    being in the chamber).

    But long term, I am concerned this will have a negative impact on my
    training - isn't that the whole reason people sleep in low oxygen
    environments when training?

    Thanks!

    People sleep in low O2 on the supposition that it causes the body to
    generate more red corpuscles. That is probably unlikely unless you're a real
    extremist and do it all night every night.

    The same might be said of your treatments. Remember that your blood O2 is
    probably 99% at atmospheric pressure so what would additional O2 do?

    I slept in a "hemp chamber" and woke up hungry

    Just get a TUE for asthma medication. Only a gorilla will see through
    your ruse.

    Regarding the effect on recovery:

    Why should we take your word? Have you ever ridden a fixed gear?
