- chneu 1y agoreminder that wim hof blew his intestines apart because he was using a public fountain to blow water up his own ass. he'd done it plenty of times before, he said, but they recently changed the water pressure and he wasn't aware.
- explodes 1y agoI did not need this reminder.
- furgot 1y agoWhile that is true, and the full context only makes it worse, the important reminder is that a lot of people have died doing "Wim Hof" breathing before diving. It is not safe to hyperventilate before going into the water, because you are not saturating your blood with any more oxygen (normal breathing accomplishes that), but you are rejecting CO2. Your urgent need to breath is not triggered by low O2 but by high CO2. So if you hyperventilate and then go under water, you will experience an urgent need to breath after you start to become hypoxic. This has killed people and will kill again. Don't let it be you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freediving_blackout#Shallow_water_blackout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freediving_blackout#Shallow_wa...

- unsupp0rted 1y agoIf it had gone well, like it always did the previous times, then he would have shat out everything in his colon into the fountain. Yes, really.
- jajko 1y agoAh yes the guy who psychologically tortured his own son so much the boy will have massive trauma(s) for rest of his life. Applies also to other people around him. Really a person we should hold in high regard and listen to. Its not like that person invented cold or coping mechanisms with it.
- codethief 1y agoSo? What does that have to do with his breathing technique? Also, for anyone needing a bit of background: https://www.reddit.com/r/BecomingTheIceman/comments/e9m2jt/this_is_wim_hofs_abdomen_did_he_hurt_himself/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BecomingTheIceman/comments/e9m2jt/t...
- chneu 1y agoBecause he's an idiot. Everything he says and teaches is based off his insane personality and cult around him. Following his advice, which is mostly just reformatted stuff we already know(his breathing isn't new), is like following a cult leader. He's an idiot and his personal life very well proves that.
- profsummergig 1y agoSame. Strong recommendation for Wim Hof method if you're undergoing acute stress. Really calms me down. But stay away from water. Do it on your bed.
- furgot 1y agoYes, not to be gratuitous but doing Wim Hof breathing before diving can and does lead to drowning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freediving_blackout#Shallow_water_blackout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freediving_blackout#Shallow_wa...
