Months After 61-YO Dorian Yates Confirmed His Biological Age to Be Between 30 and 39, IFBB Pro Coach Explains How to Increase One?s Oxygen Level

Greg Doucette is not only an IFBB pro but also a master in kinesiology, and he knows the practical and theoretical aspects of?bodybuilding. He is a bodybuilder and powerlifter who makes people aware of the consequences of being irresponsible with their health. Doucette is someone who raises his voice against anything extreme in the bodybuilding world. The world record holder recently gave valuable advice on how to increase one’s O2 level.

Not many fitness enthusiasts talk about breathing techniques or oxygen intake while exercising. It is always about the exercise technique. But Greg gave information that can change the whole game for the bodybuilding world.

Greg Doucette knows how to increase oxygen levels while training

The recent YouTube video saw Doucette take up questions from fans and answer them with his erudite knowledge about fitness. The very first question was about increasing oxygen while exercising:?“Would be interesting to get a “cardio mesocycle” of sorts. How you would design a program specifically to increase one?s VO2 max over 8,12, or 16 weeks for example?”

Greg had a succinct answer to this question, and he explained it scientifically. First Doucette broke down what VO2 means:?”VO2 max is the most amount of oxygen that your body can use while sprinting or doing cardio.”?He also explained that V is volume and O2 is oxygen, so the maximum volume of oxygen a body can intake during exercise is the main crux of the matter.

“So, the higher that is, the faster you can go for longer, and how to go about setting up a program to increase your VO2 max, basically depends on what is your current fitness level,”?he added. If someone is not a regular gym goer, they can also increase their VO2 max by brisk walking. One can increase their VO2 max by getting a harder warmup and getting interval training. This should be done at a rate of VO2 max that is higher than one?s anaerobic threshold. Doucette explained that the BPM, or heartbeats per minute, must increase to increase oxygen volume by taking intervals in between. Even legendry Dorian Yates increased his VO2 max, and he mentioned that is the reason his biological age is between 30 to 39.

Dorian Yates exercises like someone half his age

The 60-year-old posted a picture?on Instagram, and in the image, Yates is sitting on an exercise bike. However, there are a lot of medical instruments attached to his body. He is wearing at least three medical devices and is checking the monitor in front of him. Yates revealed,?“Going all out on an extensive health check and V02 max test in Brazil.”

“Looks like my HIIT 8-minute 2 x weekly cardio sessions paid off,”?added the 6-time Mr. Olympia winner. The results of the fitness test showed progress, and Yates said,?”Comparison of the maximum VO2 achieved with the values ??of the American population places the patient between the 90-100 percentiles (excellent aerobic capacity).”?These results show that his fitness level is equivalent to that of someone who is 30 years old. Yates might not train today like a bodybuilder, but he is fitter than most youngsters.
