Now we´re talking.

Thanks for your input Tylerz (8 min guy). You seem to have had a quick progress. Do you think you might have a genetic talent (apart from beeing dedicated in exploring preparation methods e t c).

There is a gene called DD. It is present in 25% of us. BUT the former east german swim athletes had this gene in 50% of them. It has something to do with bloodpressure. Could there be genes that promotes breathholding.

So to conclude; cardiotraining is not that important (Although Tyler you seem to have a quite low heartrate). May we know your VC and height, weight?
Actual training with 02 and CO2 levels seem more important.

I think (after paying attention to Eric F) that food is more important than what most freedivers think. Having the right nutrition in the blood. I have experimented with this and have had good results (although there are so many factors that are influencing so I am not really sure).

I am having a small club competition this evening and I have already broken some of my own rules: no meat (protein) 1-2 days before, since it takes longer for the stomach to break down.

And yes Eric, I have a lack of faith. In theory I should do better. But I dont see how - I can hold my breath till I faint - and I am getting worried about long term damage.
