"Then I have a have a portable tent I'm taking on the road." [READ]</div> Gil sure is an interesting dude.
wtf? lol that's the funniest thing in some time. He just wants to have an MVP season so he can say "AND THOSE BASTARDS DIDN'T PLAY ME AT THE WORLDS" like Bron, Amare, Melo etc at the 04 olympics.

Simulateing high altitudes will enable him to make the most of his oxygen when he is in "normal" That is a way of getting a bit fitter without doing the work. Good move GIL
Arenas is just so weird, he's an excellent player and I love watching him play, but BCB summed it up perfectly: He sure is an interesting dude. I mean come on, doing this is not going to affect his game at all. It's really a waste of time. I don't know, but this is just really abnormal.

It should help him going into the end of games.
actually an interesting, but smart way to get himself into better shape. I'd probably do that if I had the money.
I don't have to convert mine. :winkglasses: To pro players it is all tough, but for anybody who plays sports in Colorado your used to it. For me, I don't even notice a difference when I run or something in other states.
