Herbert Nitsch - new Dynamic World Record

[MaxDream]

Well, in winter I train for about 3-5 time per week but 1-2 of these training units I use for static training. About once a week I try to do a dynamic maximum dive which is usually 140-150m. I have not done more for a long time during training. I do not warm up in water before doing a maximum but I prepare with some stretching to warm up the muscles. During the rest of my training time or in the other training units I do a few 100m-dives (about 3-4) or a couple of 50m-dive fast like in the 16x50m disciplin but I usually do just 8 because I hate to agonize myself too much.

That is what has worked out for me so far but freediving is a very individual sport. Everybody has to find his or her own training methods. Thus, it is useful to try out as much as you can possibly imagine what you think could work out fine for you to finally find your personal best working training method. In freediving there is no golden training path to follow that works for everyone.

One of the strangest dynamic training methods is the one of Herbert. He does not train dynamic itself. He prepares for a dynamic world record with static training and working out on his static bike (I do not know if that is the correct name for it but I hope you know what kind of device I mean). That is enough for him to go for a record. I wonder what he would be able to do if he started to train dynamic in water.
