Re: Training program

Yes, I am aware of those advices, but never saw any reason for limiting yourself to a single table per week. It is almost the same as if you advised that you should not dive more than an hour a week. It is nowhere that exhausting that your body would need a week recovery from it.

With training statics once a week, you can improve your technique, relaxation, and remove psychical barriers, but it cannot bring you any progress in physiological adaptation.

As for burning out with always the same training - that's pretty understandable. That's why I recommend varying the trainings a lot. Some may be more hypoxic focused, others hypercapnic, then again real-life diving simulations, semi-dynamic exercises, training techniques, relaxation, diverse games, etc. Here I see the advantage of training in a club - we have two wet static sessions a week (each an hour long) + some weeks another hour of sofrology. And since there are almost a dozen of instructors in or club, and each one has slightly different approach, the training is never boring or leading to burning you out.
