Hi Peter I also experimented with this 'Tom Sietas' like approach.

I got the same result, also after 2 months of not static training I did a 90% effort 5:52 / out of my 6:19. Thought I did no hyperventilation beforhand I did some stretches like I usually did.

I to start to think that a -long?- preperation will draw oxigen away from the hard to reach regeons, and change it into CO2.
When ventilating before the last max breathhold you cannot use that anymore, though the vascoconstriction doesn't allow for new O2 to enter the earias in need?
Anyway I'm not a doctor, nor I have studied this matter in depth. I hope the knowing arround here read this as a question, and have some awsers.

I think it increddible cool to do a max static with hardly no preperation, like Tom has shown the world!

Love, peace and water!
