Exhale breath-holds for building haematocrit?

hi people!

I've been reading the thread which Sebastien started, on exhale training with the purpose of boosting haematocrit:

It all sounds really interesting!

My question is: How exactly would you carry out such training?


As i see it, static training can be carried out in a number of different ways:


...............relaxed...w/ Work
..............___________________
.............|.........|.........|
Inhale.......|.........|.........|
.............|_________|_________|
.............|.........|.........|
Exhale.......|.........|....X....|
.............|_________|_________|


- This general partitioning can be further subdivided as follows:


........................relaxed...w/ Work
.......................___________________
......................|.........|.........|
Inhale w/ packing.....|.........|.........|
......................|_________|_________|
......................|.........|.........|
Inhale................|.........|.........|
......................|_________|_________|
......................|.........|.........|
(somewhere inbetween).|.........|.........|
......................|_________|_________|
......................|.........|.........|
Exhale................|.........|....X....|
......................|_________|_________|
......................|.........|.........|
Exhale, reverse pack..|.........|.........|
......................|_________|_________|

..

- Further more, they (the statics) can be performed with various prior breath-ups, or with no breath-up at all..

- and all sorts of regimens can be followed: Should one always do breath-holds to max? How many reps are preferable? Every day? etc..


.Er.. yep! That should provide a framework for answering my question! I hope you guys got some ideas..

tx!
