Armstrong is an incredible endurance athlete. His vital statistics include a resting heart rate of 32 to 34 bpm, a VO2max (the standard measure of aerobic fitness based on the body’s ability to take up oxygen) of 83.8ml/kg/min, and a lactate threshold heart-rate of 178 bpm (beyond the lactate threshold, lactic acid begins to flood the muscles and induce rapid fatigue). A handful of athletes in history have comparable fitness levels, including the marathon runner Matt Carpenter and cyclists Greg LeMond and Miguel Indurain. Among male endurance athletes you might expect to see average VO2max values of 70ml/kg/min.

This guy built one of a hypoxic/hypobaric chamber and I want one too. He also won the Tour de France but they said he cheated b/c he used this, and he may or may not have used other things, but who knows.

Looks pretty simple, but I couldn't find any blueprints for it. Darren Sharper of the Minnesota Vikings uses one daily too.
