Hi everybody,
a little update. Following the suggestions efattah but especially of the finnish guys
The Frenzel Technique :: FDTF :: Freediving Team of Finland
I tried few free pool immersions with passive exale head up and head down. As many say you don't need to go to -30m to test how good your equalization technique is: with passive exale you have the same problems ready at -4 (-5) m. Thinking I could master frenzel rather well, I handled quite easily head up, but when I tried head down.. no way.. perfectly perpendicular, with my head touching the bottom, I din't even know what I was doing.. pushing, pulling, suching, frenzel, valsalva.. just pain in the ears.. damn it, up again Matteo!
Theory was all right, but practice.. another thing. BUT today I tried again and being just a little more focused on what was happening inside my troath I finally managed.. A "perfect" eustachian tubes opening and subsequent frenzel with toungue push: I am very happy. Now it is just a matter of exercise till I will pefectly master all the movements, and will be ready to open seas.. (well more or less :-) ).
Ciao, Matteo.
