Sam Long Lab Testing: VO2 Max/Ramp Test

[@guscrown]

Loved this video… this was freaking awesome to watch, Sam.

[@infovidasupps8640]

GREAT job Sam So happy for you buddy When they were all cheering for you I actually teared up a bit. Emotional Great energy Sam

[@dianes.1909]

That was just incredible. Speechless! Super fit.

[@Ergustavinho]

Respect for the raw footage and data ! Would love to see Magnus do the same

[@bartholomewJsimpson]

nah we dont need him

[@alexjohnson6462]

His relative VO2max should have come out to approx 72.28 if he was 83kg in weight, or 74.07 if he is 81kg. I am not sure what his current weight is - just used the weights listed in his bio. They posted his Absolute VO2max at the end of the test - 6.0 Liters (not sure if they were rounding off). You multiply Liters by 1000 to convert it to mL, then divide by his weight in kg, which then gives you the more familiar relative VO2max in (mL/kg/min).

[@colindittmer.]

Is that an Aurora ring on Sams thumb ?

[@johndeforest8208]

Yeah I would say VO2max of 73.2 ml/kg/min, based on a short shot of the main data screen at around 23:26, which had his absolute VO2 at 4.68 (L) and relative VO2 at 57.1 (ml/kg/min), which would assume a weight of 81.96kg, so assuming absolute max of 6000ml we would get 73.2 relative VO2max.

[@philgregson933]

A certain former American cyclist wouldn't like his 'low' Vo2 max....

[@gtkona1608]

Low 70's is national class but not world class. Nordic ski racers hit the 80's. Greg Lemond says he was near 90. Long must have a very high 'threshold'.

What was Sam's VO2...must have missed that part?

[@bradallenfitness3516]

The dialogue between the specialist seem to be part of the edit. Nice! I’m surprised how he’s still aware enough to grab his phone and change songs. 😮

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

Yes it is!! He has a microphone on him as well!

What’s their music playlist? Awesome.

[@jankubes482]

200w - 1.6La? well, this is either false measurement or very weak fat metabolism..

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

No, what happens is because it is with no warm up there is a normal resting amount of lactate resting in the blood.

[@JwallzMTB]

bruh get youtube music, you can listen to the same thing for hours on a loop

[@HashBrownDoyler]

Dont you have to pay for that?

[@loganseaburg8041]

Nasty, just nasty

[@dschaumburg]

Interesting video, but it definitley lacks production quality in comparison to other pro triathlete channels.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

For sure this video especially, but that is by design. It was too stressful, too much money, and too much work for me to always do high production value videos

[@dschaumburg]

@@SamYoYoYoLong That is understandable, I imagine it can be quite demanding to juggle the training schedule and intensity of a professional alongside being a part-time influencer. It definitely deserves respect, and I truly appreciate the content and insights you provide. Wishing you continued success for the season!
