I have been lurking around this board for part of a month now. I downloaded static trainer and read about the tables. I have been doing them and increasing a bit.
I come to a max of 2:45 in the tables with 2 min rest and a 15 sec increase
and the other one 1:50 and 2:30 to start with and decreasing the rest by 15 seconds.
What i dont understand is that when i start my o2 table session i might have problems with the 1:30 and stil i can do the next step and the next.. Do you need time to adjust or what ????
My goal is just to improve my breathold during snorkling. I live in Thailand and do scubadiving (not in combination with freediving). But sometimes im just snorkling and then i want to stay under for a long while.. Not going really deep because Thailand is not a place where the waters are verry deep. I just want to be able to see the fish longer stay under longer even if it is at 2 meters.
I hope if i ever get at 4 minutes static that i can stay under 2 minutes active. I got a nice swimmingpool near me (if it is working) so i do some underwaterswimming there too.
How fast do people progress with the tables.. I do a lot of bodybuilding and cardio excercises too. So i might just do a bit too much because i read it is better not to do the tables at days that you have trained.. is that correct ?
An other question that i have is about safety. Because we are training our body to be accustomed to low o and high co2 are we cutting the safetymargin or are we moving the margin. I mean like say normaly there is a 1 min gap between dying and breathing (purely theoretical the number does not represent a thing but it is just to visualize) are we keeping that gap or are we bringing that gap to half a minute if we increase the time that we can do without oxigen.
*just added an extra question*
