Under Water Confidence Training

[dfriedman]

I read that most of the best performances are in colder weathers (I'm not making any personal claims--just chiming in).

I posted this in "underwater confidence training". Since this had to do with more "static" than "dynamic" I thought I should drop in and get everybody's 2-cents.

I've been doing O2 and CO2 tables for a week. The last tables were as follows.

First, I was static for 1:30 and breath-up for 30 sec's X 10.

Then I held my breath for (static)...

1:00, 1:15, 1:30, 1:45, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00 with a 2:00 breth-up in between.

Then I went for a PB for a breath-hold...the result 4:57! I jumped from 3:31.

1) What are your thoughts on the tables?

2) Do you think doing the tables before hand prevented me to have a better breath-hold???

3) Lastly, SEDATE wrote "what ever you do never fill your lung fully , inhale 3/4 or less totally close your eyes while atempt any max hold or A/B tables"

I've heard different...How much do you fill your lungs?
