As someone who lives in a high altitude area, if you don't like anything cardio, you will hate it doing up here. I've went jogging with friends who are from low lands and most of them say they are running out of gas so much more.
Yep. I went to AIT at about 5k ft elevation and got acclimated to running at that altitude for the 5 months I was there. Got a permanent duty station that was at 300 ft elevation and got my best run score in my entire career for the first PT test I took there.
Yeah. I lived in Wilmington NC (beach) for a 3/4 years then moved to Utah. First week here I rode my long board and came in and laid out. My girlfriend at the time was jaw dropped at how red I was. There is an adjustment period 😆
When I was up like 7000 feet it really didn’t feel much different than it usually would, once I went up 9000 feet that’s when I would feel the thin air.

I think it is most definitely a misread, as it took very long for something was measured, and from my experience these finger measure devices can be wildly inaccurate at times. More importantly, he had way too much energy, and was talking way too quick for a SpO2 below 90 (These people have trouble standing and will not casually bench their 5 rep max). Then later after the pull-ups he is measured at 98%, probably a lot more accurate, and then they put him on oxygen -_-
They read it wrong. His heart rate was 80 and his O2 sat was 93. ER nurse here, at 80% he could be on the floor, not speaking in a normal voice.

@@nonsensequitter The oxygen saturation really was 80 at 1:44 (it only has 2 spots for digits before it displayed and says SpO2 % below it). The device just couldn't measure it well. Probably, it was not well attached to his finger, or too much sweat, etc
I was hospitalised with Pericarditis and myocarditis and I had such shallow breathing from the immense pain that a nurse had to give me oxygen while I was in bed barely conscious at around 80% SpO2. Will did not have only 80% at that point, no way.
@@leighgale2470 That's because Will wasn't in danger of significant damage to his well being. It's extremely hard to push hard enough, especially without adjustment, that you could hurt yourself past needing to hop on the oxygen even with someone pushing you like the gym owner was. The composure also means no major panic if Will had actually needed more help than a walk or crawl to the oxygen machine.
15:02 This is basically how asthma feels, but with a lot more wheezing and a different rescue treatment needed. Great message at the end too. Cardio and breathing exercises are so valuable for quality of life, especially if you have a respiratory condition. You may not break records, and it's scary to be so vulnerable in mild workouts from exercise-induced asthma at the start, but it's all about improving what *you* can do. Putting physical hobbies like dance and trampoline within reach, and decreasing or even ceasing the need for medications and rescue treatments as your symptoms improve, it's life-changing.
Waking up with an asthma attack is so hard because i have to remind myself don’t worry you are not going to die because if i panic i would struggle to breathe more and shit would get even harder
As someone who suffers of exercise induced asthma I can totally imagine what Will felt. I remember in school starting to struggle to breathe during a running test. The pe teacher said I was faking it and to keep running and couldn't get my medication. You can imagine the verbal beatdown my mom gave when she heard that
As someone with exercise induced asthma this one resonates with me. I'm pretty well managed but I totally understand that feeling of being so out of breath you want to panic. I've been able to improve my endurance and fitness level over the years but I'm still respiratory limited.
i relate to this heavy...used to spend a lot of time in hospitals as a kid, several emergency ambulance rides where i was very close to death. thankfully it mostly went away after puberty, but i then wrecked my lungs by smoking a shitton of weed (stupid, i know) for many years. only quit recently, started working out again too. no cardio tho, that shit scares me.

I could never get use to high altitudes. I did a tour of duty in Colorado Springs. I would struggle walking up stairs like a 400 lbs man. When I did bench press, my blood cells would pop. You would think someone abused me because of the marks on my back. I couldn’t run really well either. Kept failing all my PT run tests. Elevation is no joke.
You got me wanting to go back to sea level. Been living in Denver for about 1.5 yrs and I’ve only gotten into running (5-10ks nothing crazy) since I moved here. Wonder how much easier it’d be

Hi Will, thank you so much. I have made some huge changes in my life because of you. Down 17kg and my strength training is massively improved and based on your video on the basics of working out. Huge fan from South Africa 🇿🇦
Going through a really tough break up right now, my first one. These videos just help me get through it, so positive and helps get over this sadness, I don’t know how else to put it. Thanks Will!
These videos will always be temporary then you’re going to go right back to the sadness. With God He is eternal. Though with God you’re still going to go through things because that’s life but the difference is-is that you have God, and there’s peace in His presence. Everything in this world is temporary while God is eternal. But it’s fine though because us humans have short lives and we will be in heaven soon as long as you accept Him and pick up your cross and follow Him. Meaning let go of your old life for the life He has to offer and follow Him. And deny your temptation but we will mess up sometimes because we are not perfect and the only perfect one was Jesus, so when you mess up just get back up and continue to walk in faith in Jesus Christ. Remember that, “The righteous man falls seven times and gets back up”. And once you have your faith in God you are made righteous in His eyes. Just keep Jesus first, focus on Him like a tunnel vision. And most importantly love Him because once you love Him everything else in following Him should fall into place since you love Him. Keep your head up and keep God first. But remember we are all human and we are not perfect, we are all going to have ups and downs, we are all going to have doubts, we are all going to have feelings. It’s normal. But it depends on on what you do when you start to feel those things. Are you going to run to these temporary things that will satisfy you only for a little bit but can’t fill that void in your heart. Or are you going to surrender to God and accept His gift of salvation and love Him for who He is and not for what He has to offer? God bless you and keep your head up❤. Remember that I love you, God loves you way more than we all do, and Jesus is coming soon❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Real soon❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Heartbreaks may seem eternal but they're not. We all come out stronger and wiser. Just gotta keep going and keep yourself busy. Working out is great, if you read that helps too. Going out to the park will clear your mind. You got this!
Breakups are hard, but time heals if you process it the right way and don’t try to escape the pain immediately with unhealthy habits l. Jim helps. You will get through it.
As someone who is an aerospace physiologist in the Air Force, I teach about the physiological effects of altitude and the hazards. This is wildly impressive from a professional standpoint let alone personal. Like someone said earlier, Will, you are an absolute unit.
Honestly, the way you push yourself and allow all of us to see you in your most vulnerable moments and also share in your triumphs are so incredibly inspiring. You are why I decided to start taking my own health/fitness a little bit more seriously. Take care of yourself!!
Yeah I was shocked at how low his heart rate was after all that max effort stuff. I'm nearly 50 and hit 160-180 bpm with ease after 1 hard set. And I do pretty intense cardio regularly.

Nothin like a good cry after pushing yourself as hard as physically possible at the gym. Although it feels euphoric and validating when at a normal altitude. I’d imagine it’d feel like you’re dying when it happens at an altitude that high.
I love it when men can talk about crying. It's just a way for our bodies to release stress, nothing shameful. It can even help with pain, how cool is that!
My Grandma had to be on oxygen. I used to have to coach her through breathing when she got low. Just think how hard it would be to feel like this just walking to bed or brushing your teeth. This reminds me of how strong she was and how hard it must have been. The way Will described the feelings really hit hard. She would always say how you couldn't understand how hard it was. Didn't expect this to be so eye opening. I miss my Grandma.
That was downright scary and chilling, but at the same time so moving to watch. But I have to say, you're really admirable. I would cry and have several mental breakdowns, or I would give up so many times, for sure. It made me cry just to watch that...
The emotional release after the last challenge is what growth is about. Those dark deep waters out at the edge will make you stronger 🙌 inspirational mate
This video is very timely for me. I live in Philadelphia, PA and recently traveled to Colorado for the first time ever, we immediately upon landing in Denver(about 5,500 feet above sea level) went to Grand Lakes to stay the night(8,500 feet above) and then in less than 24 hours we drove to 12,000 feet above at the Rocky Mountains and took a short hike. I could barely catch my breath during a normal everyday walk at 12,000 feet, it was wild. Then at Grand Lakes two nights in a row I got a total of 3 hours sleep, because everytime I was getting ready to fall asleep, my body woke me gasping for air feeling like I didn't have enough. I learned out there there are many companies who sell or rent oxygen machines just like the one they had in this video for people to use while there. Luckily for me when we drove back to Denver for the remainder of the trip, I was able to sleep and breathe much better. Props to Will because after what I went through I can not even imagine attempting this much less completing it. The pain yall see, trust me, it's real.
As a mountain biker, I do pretty well at 6-7000 ft despite being a lowlander But driving up to Pike's Peak the 14K got to me, was breathing hard just walking around Had trouble at Leadville (10k) headaches from altitude

@@MikeBarbarossa It really is crazy how it hits you. Being a mountain biker, you're definitely in better shape than me and well, so is Will, but it just goes to show that altitude sickness can really hit anyone despite your fitness level. After our experience in the Rocky Mountains we didn't even attempt to go to Pikes Peak. Maybe next time. And I would definitely do it towards the end of the trip acclimating in Denver first.
Pushing yourself brings emotions out for sure,like at the end of a marathon I bawled my eyes out lol. It’s also like you can’t believe you went through so hard.
I live at 7,000 now and am regularly at 10k plus. Even after almost a year it's no joke! That feeling of head exploding, out of body, going to vomit, "is this how I die?" instills panic in me also. Something about being totally at the grasp of Earth in terms of catching your breath is brutal but when you do finally catch it it's so glorious. Proud of you Will!
wow, that was one hell of a challenge. Will, at the very end of the video, when your name is put on the whiteboard and the camera cuts to you for the last monologue, you look like youve been through a war. Awesome content 👍
an oxygen level of 80% or lower is considered severe hypoxemia and is a medical emergency. At this level, the brain, liver, and other vital organs are affected. If your oxygen level is 88% or lower, you should seek immediate medical attention. i honestly think the reader just wasnt accurate lol

@@jmz2144it was more oxygen saturation in blood and muscle at sea level giving a performance boost and it wore off very quickly. It’s similar to fighters training in Dubai now.
If both them and their opponent train take altitude,but fight at sea level they will both be peak. But if they train at SL but fight at altitude, they're both at a disadvantage. And variations that go along with it. Competitive athletes should always train high altitude. Why put yourself at a potential disadvantage, while also not utilizing an advantage across the board?

What's interesting is to gain the most from altitude. It's best to train at lower altitudes but sleep at high altitude. Because you can push the muscles and cardio system further with more oxygen and then get the benefits of altitude adaptation when you sleep.
Buddy, you're not gonna adapt in a night of sleep lol, it takes days, weeks to adapt, the moment you go lower to train you are already resetting yourself, this is illogical

man hats off to you Will!!! i remeber watching a NFL game between kansas vs rams in the Estadio Azteca in Mexico which altitude is at 7,200 feet and players were just using the oxygen mask everytime they could!! now let alone 10,000 feet you the man Will!!!

The way he cried, I feel you buddy, every workout, every day we go to the gym, every set and reps sometimes we question ourselves, why must we go to hardships in order to be successful? is it worth it?

What I think happened is that Will was panicking war for a while cause he wasn't able to breath properly due to altitude, so at the end his body confused the sense of not breathing due to exercise with a panic attack and he got all the other simptoms of a panic attack like crying, feeling terrified, etc. It happens in many people, specially if you have anxiety or depression history

Heartbreaks may seem eternal but they're not. We all come out stronger and wiser. Just gotta keep going and keep yourself busy. Working out is great, if you read that helps too. Going out to the park will clear your mind. You got this!
Breakups are hard, but time heals if you process it the right way and don’t try to escape the pain immediately with unhealthy habits l. Jim helps. You will get through it.
As someone who is an aerospace physiologist in the Air Force, I teach about the physiological effects of altitude and the hazards.
This is wildly impressive from a professional standpoint let alone personal.
Like someone said earlier, Will, you are an absolute unit.
“Its gonna be 8 or 9…-1-1” is a bar ngl
Huge respect to Will for this video, especially for the last 500 steps up Jacob’s ladder - What a beast! Incredible!
People, the gym owner Cody is the inventor of the massively famous GZCL-framework (GZCLP, Jacked and Tan etc.)!
He’s such a legend, I love his programs. I’m amazed how little people in the comments seem to know him
Thanks bro!!!
GZCLP is an amazing program!
OMG!!!
I thought Robert Frank created Jacked & Tan.
Honestly, the way you push yourself and allow all of us to see you in your most vulnerable moments and also share in your triumphs are so incredibly inspiring. You are why I decided to start taking my own health/fitness a little bit more seriously. Take care of yourself!!
132 heart rate after maxing out on pull-ups doesn’t seem abnormal lol
yeah i was gunna say that seems about right esp after 24 reps at 10,000 ft
Yeah I was shocked at how low his heart rate was after all that max effort stuff. I'm nearly 50 and hit 160-180 bpm with ease after 1 hard set. And I do pretty intense cardio regularly.
@@jsmr451 They took it after some rest period, if you would've taken it right after the exercise it would show much higher
@@jsmr451 same here 47. 160+ after hard sets, but i am kind of used to it.
Will's physique is peak for a natural guy. Respect!
But his cardio is ass unfortunately. Nothing to back the physique.

Nothin like a good cry after pushing yourself as hard as physically possible at the gym. Although it feels euphoric and validating when at a normal altitude. I’d imagine it’d feel like you’re dying when it happens at an altitude that high.
I love it when men can talk about crying. It's just a way for our bodies to release stress, nothing shameful. It can even help with pain, how cool is that!
@@Alexandraincognito I couldn’t agree more!
@@HonorConnorr ❤💪
I cried there with you my man. Only those who know what it's like to really hit your limit know what it feels like. Big respect!
My Grandma had to be on oxygen. I used to have to coach her through breathing when she got low. Just think how hard it would be to feel like this just walking to bed or brushing your teeth. This reminds me of how strong she was and how hard it must have been. The way Will described the feelings really hit hard. She would always say how you couldn't understand how hard it was. Didn't expect this to be so eye opening. I miss my Grandma.
That was downright scary and chilling, but at the same time so moving to watch. But I have to say, you're really admirable. I would cry and have several mental breakdowns, or I would give up so many times, for sure. It made me cry just to watch that...
The emotional release after the last challenge is what growth is about. Those dark deep waters out at the edge will make you stronger 🙌 inspirational mate
That's not growth that's hypoxia.
Naw will dont forget about that 30 days stretching video, we're still waiting
Wow, much respect for getting through that, legit suffering. GREAT JOB!
Every Big fitness RUclipsr should do this challenge. Would love to see Coach Greg, Jeff Nippard etc do this challenge.
Sulek would prob kick the bucket before he even makes it up to the gym lol
@@xMMADSam already breathes heavy so he’d probably be a lot weaker at higher elevation

This video is very timely for me. I live in Philadelphia, PA and recently traveled to Colorado for the first time ever, we immediately upon landing in Denver(about 5,500 feet above sea level) went to Grand Lakes to stay the night(8,500 feet above) and then in less than 24 hours we drove to 12,000 feet above at the Rocky Mountains and took a short hike.
I could barely catch my breath during a normal everyday walk at 12,000 feet, it was wild. Then at Grand Lakes two nights in a row I got a total of 3 hours sleep, because everytime I was getting ready to fall asleep, my body woke me gasping for air feeling like I didn't have enough. I learned out there there are many companies who sell or rent oxygen machines just like the one they had in this video for people to use while there.
Luckily for me when we drove back to Denver for the remainder of the trip, I was able to sleep and breathe much better. Props to Will because after what I went through I can not even imagine attempting this much less completing it. The pain yall see, trust me, it's real.
As a mountain biker, I do pretty well at 6-7000 ft despite being a lowlander
But driving up to Pike's Peak the 14K got to me, was breathing hard just walking around
Had trouble at Leadville (10k) headaches from altitude

@@MikeBarbarossa It really is crazy how it hits you. Being a mountain biker, you're definitely in better shape than me and well, so is Will, but it just goes to show that altitude sickness can really hit anyone despite your fitness level.
After our experience in the Rocky Mountains we didn't even attempt to go to Pikes Peak. Maybe next time. And I would definitely do it towards the end of the trip acclimating in Denver first.
@@GodLovesYou215 You're one of the reasons why people don't want to convert.
That thumbs up at @13:36 😂. You deserve it dude. Lungs of steel for hanging on!
Pushing yourself brings emotions out for sure,like at the end of a marathon I bawled my eyes out lol. It’s also like you can’t believe you went through so hard.
Brain hypoxia will do that
I live at 7,000 now and am regularly at 10k plus. Even after almost a year it's no joke! That feeling of head exploding, out of body, going to vomit, "is this how I die?" instills panic in me also. Something about being totally at the grasp of Earth in terms of catching your breath is brutal but when you do finally catch it it's so glorious. Proud of you Will!
wow, that was one hell of a challenge.
Will, at the very end of the video, when your name is put on the whiteboard and the camera cuts to you for the last monologue, you look like youve been through a war.
Awesome content 👍
"The World's Highest Gym (10,361 ft)" Millons of people living at 12 000 ft in La Paz Laughing 🤣🤣🤣.
I’ve been following Cody for a long time now. Even before he had the gym, it’s awesome seeing him and his gym get some recognition.
an oxygen level of 80% or lower is considered severe hypoxemia and is a medical emergency. At this level, the brain, liver, and other vital organs are affected. If your oxygen level is 88% or lower, you should seek immediate medical attention. i honestly think the reader just wasnt accurate lol
probably the best video I've ever watched from your channel, respect for the effort, I'm going to altitude camps for cycling and it sucks hard, but this is next level
We got Will Tennyson working out in heaven before Gta 6

That’s why a lot of fighters do their training camp at altitude, so when they go to Vegas or wherever closer to sea level they have more endurance
Really only makes a difference if they fight at altitude
@@jmz2144it was more oxygen saturation in blood and muscle at sea level giving a performance boost and it wore off very quickly. It’s similar to fighters training in Dubai now.
If both them and their opponent train take altitude,but fight at sea level they will both be peak. But if they train at SL but fight at altitude, they're both at a disadvantage. And variations that go along with it. Competitive athletes should always train high altitude. Why put yourself at a potential disadvantage, while also not utilizing an advantage across the board?

Unbelievable, i follow you on socials for like over 2 years now and seeing you constantly getting better... that does make me belief i can always do better in sports, especially in the gym, you do set new standards for me Will.
Cody's the man! Glad to see him on your channel
Thanks bro!
What's interesting is to gain the most from altitude. It's best to train at lower altitudes but sleep at high altitude. Because you can push the muscles and cardio system further with more oxygen and then get the benefits of altitude adaptation when you sleep.
You could wear oxygen and train
@@Imperialcadets Just use EPO. Same effect as altitude training.
Buddy, you're not gonna adapt in a night of sleep lol, it takes days, weeks to adapt, the moment you go lower to train you are already resetting yourself, this is illogical
Going constantly high and low cant be good for your body.

Much appreciated bro
It's wild that he was coming for you like that at THAT altitude. You're supposed to ease into at high altitudes. Looks like you went all out and he didn’t encourage you to go at your own pace. Yikes. Dangerous coach he is. Good on you for knowing your body and listening to him.
The pushing was stupid.
man hats off to you Will!!! i remeber watching a NFL game between kansas vs rams in the Estadio Azteca in Mexico which altitude is at 7,200 feet and players were just using the oxygen mask everytime they could!! now let alone 10,000 feet you the man Will!!!
No day I look forward to more than Will Tenny upload day

Will, can you do a functional mobility video? For instance, I can’t force my shoulders to get into a back squat. Love your content. My absolute favorite channel on RUclips, fitness channel or otherwise.
"I never pushed myself harder" I always say that when i get off my chair :)
Honestly….my favorite video you’ve ever done. Yeah yeah you’re strong…we all know that by looking at your physique and watching your videos but today we got to see how strong you are mentally we saw that heart. You’re a killer man!!! Absolutely smashed this video. You should redo this challenge yearly or more if it’s logistically feasible. Incredible man!!!!
this is more hectic than you would imagine. Stay safe!
Will has no limits. Kinda feel like this one was kinda dangerous. Especially with no medical professionals nearby.
Shout out to will for being a straight fucking beast up there
The choking reference had me out of oxygen
All of that at 10,000 ft is crazy! I wish I could see your test results post-acclimation to see how much it changes.
I lived in Denver for 10years, moved to Atlanta, Ga I was doing marathons and I was killing it in the gym because I was trained so well running in Denver. I miss it. ❤
7:55 this is key for everyone. Ive seen so many people start freaking out and hyperventilating. Stay calm, relax, and take deep breaths. Youll be fine.
You've had altitude sickness?
I need to go visit that gym. That will be the best vacation.
Gotta admit this is what I feel like every day with Asthma, good to see someone as good as Will doing this stuff
I just got home from a hiking trip in Peru and this is exactly how I felt it’s crazy! Out highest peak was 15,000 ft I have so much respect for people who live in areas like this!
The way he cried, I feel you buddy, every workout, every day we go to the gym, every set and reps sometimes we question ourselves, why must we go to hardships in order to be successful? is it worth it? I bet that cry was not just from physical stress but it is also an emotional episode for him like visualizations and flashbacks but overall look what Will become, an excellent gymbro RUclipsr, every video never misses, just hits.
Will seriously looks like he's in a ton of pain.
Yeah, this wasn't inspirational. It was stupid. Hypoxia is not something to aspire to.
We made the stupid mistake of trying to sleep near Alma. We live at 600 feet above sea level. My wife had to sleep with an oxygen mask. It's no joke.
I think your response is genetic and age based. I live at sea level, and have never had problems in altitudes up to 16000 feet.
You're atypical then. Most ski resorts are around this elevation and it's obviously no issue at all for most people.

80% O2 Sat is DEFINITELY not accurate 😂 but still funny
A few months ago I dropped to 86%, couldn't walk 10 feet and had to be hospitalized for 9 days. Bro would be dead working out at 80 😂
Just got back from Denver, and i concur, working out in elevation is NO JOKE
Honestly the best workout video, you really pushed yourself and he cheered you on pretty good
I have panic disorder and the second hand anxiety this video was REAL.
Willy T and Cody the GZCL legend 🙌 let’s gooo
his hand at 7:35 😯😵
Im so inspired each time i watch on of your videos man...the production quality, the type of content you put out man like its just incredible.
What I think happened is that Will was panicking war for a while cause he wasn't able to breath properly due to altitude, so at the end his body confused the sense of not breathing due to exercise with a panic attack and he got all the other simptoms of a panic attack like crying, feeling terrified, etc. It happens in many people, specially if you have anxiety or depression history
High elevation will humble you so quick 😂
You know shit is real when he stop making jokes 😂
Man you made a video with Cody? Dude I great, his GZCLP program is elite
