for me FRC and empty dives have changed my whole approach to freediving.
besides the lower COD, the state of mind in which i get makes the different.. after i feel the blood leaving legs and arms like a river my brain seems to go in a meditation mode, the drop of the HR is magnificent,
4 me it is a state of FLOW experience and this gives the high peak in enjoyment and performance and the mind-power to keep on training step by step

in the pool i train empty static and after the first contractions i start the dynamic and in the sea i go empty/FRC down on a rope and do a static at depth focused on relaxation, swimming up is hard in the beginning because of the tight compressed belly section i found it disturbing for the swim/fin-movement but now after almost 3 years i m used.
80% of my dives are recreational and all of them FRC

gravity sucks
