Re: Static with no warm-up

The warm up sequence does several things:
- Increases bicarbonate (makes you more alkaline)
- Contracts the spleen (increases the amount of red blood cells)
- Constricts blood vessels in the arms and legs
- Reduces heard rate
- Decreases metabolic rate

However, it also creates hypoxia waste products, which is not a good thing. Once you have metabolic waste in your system, then when you start the next static, some percent of your O2 goes to 'recovering' from the previous static.

For that reason, if you can get all the adaptations to happen quickly, on the first static, then you will start the static without any metabolic waste, allowing for a (possibly) longer time.
