I would just like to add the logic behind your purposed method seems ass backwards to me.

I'll say in my simple terms why...look at boxers or MMA fighters, when they are going to fight in an environment different than where they live what do they do? They go to that environment to train so that their bodies and their conditioning can adjust. High altitudes for example would be detrimental to a fighter that trained in a low altitude gym.

So taking something away that you think makes training cooler or easier is no different in my mind.
