This is first time for me to do training for the spearfishing/freedive season in 6 monthly cycle.I trained before but not on this principle and lenght. During the years i have learned a lot of training techniques such as Eric Fattah-Holistic freediving,Aharon Solomons on line coatching,manual-of-freediving Umberto Pelizzari...
( and now i will try to arrange it in a single training unit).
After 3 month of cardio and pool dynamics with emphasis on short recovery(high C02 ) i moved to frc and empty lungs dyn.including long dynamics with long recovery(low O2).I trained 2-3 dyn.in pool a week
along with dry statics and walking apneas.
Mainly my training is divided into three main stages 1. High Co2 tolerance (3 months),2.Low 02 tolerance at the pool( 2 months) and 3.final stage diving on rope and the maximum attempts (1-3 times per week), which would replace all the dynamics and other supporting training.Final stage is also reserved for fine tuning of equilasation tehniques,relaxation,correct duck dives,finning techniques...(of course to write it all i need 100 pages)...:confused:
What do you think would such a plan of training bring the expected progress?!

-The main reason why I am writing this post is that experienced divers can see and react with they suggestion,and beginners to get the idea where to start. please write your
ideas and suggestions.Diving season is about to begin...

Many thanx..;)
 
Welcome to the forums, I wish you great luck. I hope you post your workouts here.

Of course that I will share my workouts with You,and expect the same from more experienced divers here!!

For example;Today pool workout - first dive made 80 meters dynamic with bi fins, unfortunately interrupted because of pain from tension in the neck, but only one contraction total, after that several 50 meters with static on the bottom of pool at 25 meters total times around 1:30.
Total duration of training about 1 hour,without wetsuit.
 
Very interesting tread I look forward to learn how you approach your training.
