Joe Rogan Experience #2568 - Ross Edgley · Aired Oct 20, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Combining high altitude training and high heat training is counterproductive.
The finding
What remains unresolved
Joe describes combining both stresses in one workout as counterproductive, citing the chamber operators. A controlled cycling experiment found reduced immediate endurance in combined heat and hypoxia, while training reviews ask different questions about later adaptation. Neither settles his unspecified protocol. The original correction's long-term performance comparison does not directly refute this acute-workout statement.
