Re: Reaching 5 Minutes Static

Hi Adelenlynch,
We're in the same boat. Two hours ago I made 76m in dynamics w fins, but I'm not too shabby when it comes down to statics (PB 5.23 made 2 days ago). I have no idea why I spend so much oxygen and how I could improve on that (will try dolphin swim next time).
My recipe to increase statics: 1st I show up with an empty stomach, then a decent warm up and take some extra time for expanding the chest with breathing techniques, after that: hop in the pool and have a 2 min face down breathing with snorkel to slow down the heartrate, then I start with this table:
2min breath up, 1min hold
2min breath up, 2min hold
2min breath up, 3min hold
3min breath up and off you go for the max... works for me.

Now I need someone to tell me how to get some decent dynamics done. I think 115m dynamics is awesome, tell us how you get there!

Ups, I forgot to mention: I don't pack at all... feels odd
