How should an ideal freediver look like?
On one side we have ,for example, Tom Sietas who is pretty skinny(little muscle mass) and on the other Martin Stepanek who has substantial muscle mass.....but both achieve amazing results and world records.
I've heard various opinions going from: "if you have too much muscle mass it will increase your O2 consumption so it's detrimental for freediving" to: "if you have a big(not too big) muscle it will act as a "reservoir" of o2 and at the anaerobic stage of the dive it will actually help you..".
