derelictp,
That's exactly why I'm no longer doing breathups or warmups. My statics aren't limited by the amount of oxygen. I just can't push my self to samba or bo (well, with hyperventilation I can, but it limits the max time).
I know a good breathup routine. Finding it took me to 6+ times. But to progress from there, it's all about fighting the breathing reflex. So now I train only that. No hyperventilation, or in fact really any kind of controlled breathing. Just inhale and go. Short rest, do it again. Not much fun, granted, but really helps
In just 2 weeks I've increased my max contractions from 40 to 56. I'm thinking of stopping timing my dry statics as a whole. Only timing the part from the first contraction to the end, trying to stretch that.
At least for me, I have to keep switching the methods to keep it interesting. Doing the same old routine day after day, reaching maybe a second or two, just gets old really fast and doesn't really bring much progress.
