Hi
I have tried many times on land doing a max static without warm up breathholds. I can ventilate harder without getting hypocapnic symptoms it seems. The contractions comes earlier but they are not as ugly as they are when I have done warm up statics.
Today for the first time, I did a "max" in water to see if I can do a something good. I layed in the water relaxed for 2min then I did my ususal breathup but a little more aggressive to compensate for a less alkaline body. I did a few short pack stretches and complete breaths during breathup.
I had a countdown from 6min.
The contractions came at 4min and was not hard. At 5min the contraction-rate was 40/min but it was still not painful and I did not have any hypoxic symptoms (feeling ugly) like I normally get around 5'20''-5'45''. I got up at 5'32'' because of very high contraction-rate 60/min, but I felt fresh. I could have pushed much harder without problems I belive.
That is 36 sec from my pb... and I have not trained static for very long time. Maybe we dont need the warm ups to perform, or can we perform BETTER without warmups.
If I read the thread "CO2 compartment hypothesis" I belive that ,when doing no warm up statics, the body water will not be as alkaline as with warm-ups. The blood ph will probably, due to more aggressive breathing, maybe be more alkaline.
The spleen will probably not release as much red bloodcells as if I use warm ups...
Opinions? Have I got Erics theory right?
Have somebody tried without warm ups and made BETTER results than without warm ups?
