Eric,
I have read the Pipin stuff on the Hawaiin sight, as well as on the IAFD site. The whole thing still seems so counter-productive to me. I can understand how a new diver can double, or triple, their static by hyperventilating; but, these are people with incredible static times to begin with, 6:13!, I would think at their level of training, and fitness, this would be counter productive.
Reducing oxygen consumption, or learning to work at incredibly high lactic acid levels, would seem to be more "appropriate".
Sorry, but I am still a little "boggled" by the whole idea. I have read how they get incredible gains in their heart rate, and maintain them, through-out the breath hold. It appears that Audry is the master at this from the stories that they post.
I have used the slow and deep breathing methods to bring my heart rate down- inhale for 4, hold it, and exhale for 8.
Jon
