I've tried regular noseclips, but they don't pinch my nose with enough force and the Paradisia works well because of the locking mechanism.

It seems the more we talk about dry apnea safety, the more I'm turned off by it due to probable injury.

One could do dry apnea more safely by only holding their breath until the first contraction, but I'm not sure how useful that would be in improving performance.

I'm wondering if anyone practices dry apnea in the gym and what their experiences are with apnea on a stationary bike, stairmaster, the leg press weight machine or something similar?
