You've probably worn a mask on Halloween before, but have you ever worn a mask when working out or lifting weights? Well, today’s study might make you want to consider it. That’s right we’re talking the possible role of training under lower oxygen conditions in promoting muscle gains. This leads to the discussion half of the episode being about crossover effects in training, practical application of light weight techniques that are good stimulators of muscle hypertrophy, and finally about whether or not to use mirrors when working out or practicing bodybuilding poses. John always reviews the full text of every article, but to see the abstract of the study discussed, click here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24690432
