MAXIMUS TECHNOLOGY

How the MAXIMUS Device Works

The MAXIMUS device uses DART (Dual Airflow Resistance Technology) to add resistance to both inhalation and exhalation. This creates a controlled exhalation breathing against resistance that Increases CO2 levels gradually, promoting respiratory muscle endurance.

HYPERCAPNIC TRAINING = INCREASED CO2 Levels

Introduction:  In the evolving landscape of fitness and athletic training, hypercapnic training has become a highly effective method for improving strength, endurance, and metabolic efficiency. This training involves controlled breathing that leads to an intentional buildup of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the bloodstream. The innovative resistance breathing device introduced here leverages this principle through a dual-resistance system, which controls both inspiratory and expiratory airflow, leading to significant improvements in performance. 

Studies indicate users experienced a 30-40% increase in strength and a 15-25% increase in endurance when using the device.

Hypercapnic Training Mechanism in Detail CO₂ Retention and Oxygen Efficiency 

During resistance breathing, the device limits the flow of air both in and out, creating a situation where CO₂ levels rise. This condition is known as hypercapnia. As CO₂ levels increase, the body adapts by becoming more efficient in utilizing the available oxygen. This process forces the respiratory system to work harder, strengthening the respiratory muscles and improving endurance through better oxygen management. 

Metabolic Adaptations and Lactate used as FUEL - The Holy Grail

One of the significant benefits of hypercapnic training is the body’s improved ability to metabolize lactate. Lactate, a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, can accumulate during intense anaerobic exercise, leading to fatigue, burning. Hypercapnic training enhances the body’s ability to use lactate as a fuel source, which delays fatigue and improves athletic performance. 

The device facilitates this by creating resistance that gradually increases CO₂ during exercise, forcing the body to become more efficient in clearing and utilizing lactate. 

Importance of Expiratory Resistance is critical because the buildup of CO₂ is more effective when exhalation is restricted. By increasing the difficulty of exhalation, CO₂ is retained longer in the body, enhancing the hypercapnic state. This allows for more pronounced respiratory muscle adaptations and more significant overall benefits. Without expiratory resistance, the effects of hypercapnic training would be diminished, making it harder to achieve the metabolic and endurance benefits that this device delivers.

    I am thrilled with the results I receive from training with the MAXIMUS.

    This has helped me better understand the importance of strengthening your cardio-pulmonary system for overall health.

    My strength and endurance are better than ever - MAXIMUS for better Health & Wellness.

    Thank you!!

  • Ken Miller PhD

    Biotech Executive | Power Athlete

    My VO2 max improved approximately 6% in just four weeks, damn good. 

    Overall, I've noted lower resting HR, increased lung capacity, with generally longer, deeper breaths while normal breathing, likely activating the parasympathetic nervous symptom resulting in a lot calmer mood, lower cortisol, and less tiredness.

  • Kevin Stout - Competitive Cyclist

    I have tried many devices in my years of endurance racing. I’ve worn backpacks designed to simulate altitude training, slept in oxygen tents, etc.

    This product shocked me, I decreased my 10-mile road bike time from 33:20 minutes to 24 minutes; that's A BIG IMPROVEMENT of over 9 minutes.

    Maximus allowed me to develop more cardiovascular strength while putting less stress on the other parts of my body.

  • Paul Howe

    Business Executive | Former Pro Athlete

    After eight weeks of using MAXIMUS, my strength increased by 40% over baseline across all exercises.

    Focused breathing work during my strength and endurance training there was a significant impact on my quality of life, including the following:

    -Better sleep

    -Lower blood pressure

    -Lower Stress

  • Keith Hetling

    Jersey Mike's Executive

    I increased my max watts on Peloton from 457 to 510. My strength increased on Incline bench press +62%, and my stamina increased 39% on pull-ups.

    As a certified strength and conditioning coach, I was skeptical about the MAXIMUS at first; however, the premise of how the device could improve performance made sense to me.

    I see this device truly setting new performance standards across all sports.

  • Chris Reichart NHL Strength Coach 1994-2005

    As an ex-NHL Strength & Conditioning Coach, I recommend MAXIMUS for on-ice and off-ice HIIT. Sprinting or biking at maximum speed for 30 seconds, followed by 60 seconds of low-intensity jogging or cycling for 8-10 reps, is a great starting point to improve the lactate threshold. MAXIMUS can help improve players' breathing effectiveness during game situations.

  • Jamie Mueller - Founder

    Business Executive - Former NFL Player

    Over 60 weeks now using MAXIMUS, my strength has increased by over 100% on average, and my endurance increased by 50%.

    Resistance breathing during exercise has enhanced my fitness and stress management.

    I've benefited greatly from this device by increasing my strength and endurance, VO2 Max, and Lactate Threshold.

  • Sal Goldberg - Retired Executive

    While I cannot be sure that MAXIMUS will add years to my life, I can assure you that it has added life to my years.

    I shaved 30% off my cycling time in the 2.5 miles I typically sprinted through. I've also managed to Increase my strength by +27% on average across all exercises.

    I've also noticed Improved concentration, better sleep, improved memory, and an overall sense of well-being.

    A must-have If you are at all fitness-savvy.

Increased Strength + Endurance

On average, MAXIMUS prototype users saw a 25% Increase in Endurance & 36% in Strength after eight weeks using MAXIMUS.

*Prototype users were not high-level athletes, thus more likely for significant gains. The only change made was adding a MAXIMUS device during their training routine.

Results will vary depending level of fitness, device usage, intensity of usage,
