How to start Freediving

[SEDATE]

i suggest you +15 or +30 CO2 -15 O2 ..When you feel it is being easy add +15 each..and go. there is no rule icrease or decrease the same ratio..adjust what your body needs...
i do not work table anymore while working played the +/- the tables just giving duration against constartion

Yeah I have kind of adapted something like that. I figure if I can't do the table %100 then I will repeat it and make sure I do it.

About that Iron, would be best to load up on iron? I am getting my daily dose of it through some cereal in the morning but that is generally it. (I do my breath holds at night).

Thanks,
Morg

Mate please do not mix i am not suggestion you get any by dose or use any pill or pills please do not mix! hemoglobin ratio in your blood never increase you breath holds! there is no any connection!. Breath hold is different think; the higger hemoglobin consist more hemotocrit in the blood and body just uses hemotocrit to transfer 02 to the cells ..very different cases...

Ah ok thanks a lot, for the record I wasn't looking for pill form iron. I was looking around for foods that contain iron.

Thanks for stating that about iron... I am sure there are many other little things out there that may or may not offer a very small increase in breath hold times. (I was reading that Cirus is one of these things).

Thanks,
Morg

grape molases consist more FE+ it consists in 1.6mg /100gr..I am not sure that but body only needs 0.5mg daily...

Thanks again,

i do not know how to write in english its name. think honey ..think again black honey one made of bees one made of grapes..

Molasses are a great source of iron & other minerals:

Carob extract (Carob honey) is also a pretty good source. Other non-meat sources are green vegetables, especially sprouts.

Eating meat together with green vegs is recommended, as this boosts the uptake of iron from both sources.

Good luck & happy hunting!

Cool shirt - cool site! How did you ever find it, you clever girl?

I also wonder who's the originator of this great sentence... proper credit is due.

Gotta run now, off to the pool - first time in 5 days!

CO² is the common trigger for the urge to breathe. CO² Tables are meant to increase your tolerance to high CO² Levels, you do this by decreasing resting periods before a breath hold. The breath holds in a CO² table are usually 50% of your personal record.

An example of a CO² Table:
1. ventilate 2:30 static 1:30
2. ventilate 2:15 static 1:30
3. ventilate 2:00 static 1:30
4. ventilate 1:45 static 1:30
5. ventilate 1:30 static 1:30
6. ventilate 1:15 static 1:30
7. ventilate 1:00 static 1:30
8. ventilate 1:00 static 1:30
total duration 25:15

O² Tables
O² Tables are meant to increase your tolerance to low O² Levels, you do this by increasing breath holds while keeping the resting periods the same. The last breath hold in an O² table is usually up to 80% of your personal record.

An example of an O² Table:
1.ventilate 2:00 static 1:00
2.ventilate 2:00 static 1:15
3.ventilate 2:00 static 1:30
4.ventilate 2:00 static 1:45
5.ventilate 2:00 static 2:00
6.ventilate 2:00 static 2:15
7.ventilate 2:00 static 2:30
8.ventilate 2:00 static 2:30
total duration 30:45

The CO² and O² tables can be modified to suit the divers will and feeling.

I'm a bit confused, are these tables mixed up (i.e., O2 table is the CO2 table, and vice versa)? In a lot of places where I've seen tables they refer to them as Tables A and B. Hoping someone can help me out here...

If a diver wanted to work on his CO2 tolerance specifically, would he just focus on one set of tables for the meantime? Or is it necessary to do both tables to see maximum benefits? In my case, my contractions are so strong that they are by far the limiting factor in my breathholds.

it is true tables BoLTs
O2 meaning increase hold fix vent
CO2 meaning decrease vent fix hold
you can do one day 02 next day CO2 the trick is never do it together in same day (5 days work, saturday and sunday rest your ribcage muscles)

Can any one tell the best way to increase the time you can hold ur breath
any training ect

Vic,

read this thread, in particular the first entries where the O2 and CO2 tables are presented and explained. This is a simple and effective start to increase your breath hold rather fast as long as you take into account the ever important aspect of mental training. Once you get over the urge to breath and bulding up your tolerance to low oxygen (and high co2) levels, the results will be impressive. I am a beginner myself an within a month i have tripled my personal best in static.

good luck and train safely

Thanks Sergiu
those charts r a magor help
staic i use to be 20 secs but with those charts nd the deep breathing provedure i can hold my breath 4 about 2 mins static im very happy
relxing helps so much :P
