Inspired by a documentary about sperm whales, I started wondering whether I should focus more on finding a training (and nutrition?) programme that will increase my ability to store oxygen in my muscles rather than training to get more air to my lungs and use it more efficiently.
Does anyone know if there is a training regime which would result in maximising oxygen stored in muscles? Would weight training and becoming more muscular help?
Also - do you think that empty lung statics would give a better indication of whether or not my capacity to store oxygen in the muscles has increased?
