I tried some statics with very little hyperventilation, and they were so difficult. I gave up at about 3:30 because of a very strong urge to breathe, and it became worse with each one, even with rests in between. The second one felt close to the limit, even if 3:30 is much shorter than my normal second dry static.

The problem is that when the urge to breathe gets strong because of CO2, I become tense and my heart rate goes up, which limits the time I can do.

I will stick to my normal method for now, but when I'm feeling brave I'll give it another try.
