Shane, where's your neck?
When I saw the thumbnail I legitimately thought it was his head lazily shooped onto another body
My real question is why did he have one of those things in the first place? They're not common and usually given to people with breathing issues. So what's he doing with it? I know he tried to show us up by showing how oxygenated his blood was but only proved he's a lazy sack of shit who's heart starts beating too fast when taking a couple stairs.
Not sure you are correct about the blood oxygen device. My garmin has it built in and it's not a particularly fancy model. I couldn't see the device clearly, but Shane might have a garmin.
I bought a cheap one at the start of covid, they were about $20 at the time. You can just grab them at walmart though you'll pay a lot more, not especially hard to come by. Looking at amazon they've actually gone down in price since then, I see one that looks exactly the same as the one I got just with a different chinese brand on the label for under $12. Just search pulse oximeter if you want to see/grab one for yourself
You could not be more wrong. It's perfectly normal for one's heart rate to spike above 140 after going down and up a set of deck stairs.

I assume this is sarcasm but I was legitimately curious as to what stairs did to my heart rate so I checked with a Wahoo Tickr X which I would say is kind of an upper midrange continuous heart rate monitor for running/cycling training. The pulse part of a pulse oximeter isn't nearly as accurate as my Tickr while you're moving but they tend to read lower than reality (or just shut off entirely) until you hold still for a few seconds. The tickr actually measures the electrical pulses from your heart contracting while the pulse oximeter just watches the blood move/stop/move/stop through your capillaries and it tends to be really erratic, erring on the side of pausing, while you're moving and when you give it a second to catch up it shoots up pretty quick
My resting heart rate is about 60, I really struggled to break 90 while using the stairs normally, even continually going up and down as fast as I could. To break 100, just for a second before it started going back down, I had to sprint up two stairs at a time following the extended sequence of using the stairs as fast as I could.
I probably could have hit 140 if I had kept going but to hit low 130s it took me five trips up/down, as fast as I could one step at a time (without the limitations of 'normal' movements), running in place at the top and bottom while I awkwardly turned 180 degrees to continue
To be clear, I am a fat. A very fat, even. But I'm a very fat with a physical job and a bike that I try to ride daily
Edit to add one final thought RE getting winded: Breathing hard isn't a result of running out of oxygen so his test was pretty worthless to begin with. Nitrogen/helium asphyxiation is completely painless, the only clue your oxygen levels are dipping is that you start getting tunnel vision/extreme sleepiness. What actually happens when you get winded is that your body is struggling to move CO2 out of the blood stream. CO2 is actually an additive in some medical oxygen formulas because it increases your rate of respiration
