About Recal Training
Breathe Stronger. Climb Higher. Go Farther.
From the Founder
I’m Anthony Lorubbio, the founder, head coach, and serial self-experimenter behind Recal Training. Like many of you, I came to the mountains out of curiosity, both for the place and what I’d learn about myself. And I stayed for something deeper, realizing how transformative they can be — especially when you train your breathing like any other muscle group.
The Recal Approach
We train breathing like you train your legs: with intention, progression, and purpose. Our system is built on three core pillars.
1. Better Breathing Mechanics Learn to breathe more optimally: through your nose, slowly/fully, and low into the diaphragm. The goal is oxygen efficiency, nervous system regulation, and movement economy at altitude.
2. High Altitude Adaptation Using breathwork protocols that simulate low-oxygen / high-CO2 conditions for your body, we kickstart a few key adaptations before you even step on the mountain. Think of it as pre-acclimatization — without the altitude tent.
3. Respiratory Muscle Training Your diaphragm is THE “breathing” muscle. And your intercostals/abdomen are important for every inhale and exhale. At high altitude, your breathing demands more from them – and they’ll fatigue much faster. We build their strength and endurance so you can prevent them from becoming your limiting factor (see: metaboreflex).
