What Actually Happens When You’re Gassing Out? Bas Rutten Explains
Ever wonder why your body suddenly shuts down mid-training or during a fight? That dreaded moment when your legs feel like lead and you hit the wall — Bas Rutten breaks down exactly what’s happening inside your body when you start “gassing.”
In this clip with Joe Rogan, Bas explains how your body redirects oxygen to prioritize your breathing muscles (yes, you have about 11 pounds of them!), pulling oxygenated blood away from your legs — because if your breathing fails, nothing else matters.
Learn why strengthening your breathing muscles is the key to delaying fatigue and improving endurance. This is the same science behind why Olympic athletes use inspiratory muscle training.
Bas knows this firsthand — and it’s exactly why he created the O2Trainer.
🫁 Train smarter. Breathe stronger. Gas later.
