Breath Ups

[JPPLAY]

Before I dive on the line and practice dry statics I am using this breath up.

10 sec hold
breathe in 10 sec hold
3-6 deep faster breaths
Before the above Breath up I breath deeply and slowly for about 2-4 minutes.

What are other types of breath ups and why are they good. I am trying to increase my static by dry training everyday so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am training for a competition for next year.
I know a few people won't agree with doing statics every day but I make sure I get a good sleep and have antioxidants in my system.

The only right way to do breath ups is this:

Breath in 7 secs (96% of TLC)
Hold 11 secs
Breath out half of it 17 secs (down to 53% TLC)
Breath out the rest 3 secs.
Hold out 3 secs
Breath in 7 secs

Repeat 13 times.
Then dive.

With this you will succeed.

And yes I agree - good sleep and antixidants will do the job (and get enough water).

The only right way to do breath ups is this:

Why do you feel this is the only right way to do breath ups? Why did you choose the different amounts of times? Why say not a 12 sec hold or a 10 why an 11?

I was just trying to be funny.
We call it SATIRE in Sweden.

I find it very "romantic" the search for the one and only perfect breath up.

It all comes down to one thing; the amount of CO2.

Breath alot = low CO2 = late reflexes = easy dive = easy BO if you go all the way.
Breath less = high CO2 = early reflexes = nasty dive = less chance of BO.

And also some other factors like = less O2 with less breathing. But on the other hand you will most likely save more O2 on a no ventilation dive.

save more O2 on a no ventilation dive.

What do you mean you save more oxygen on a no ventilation dive? What is a no ventilation dive?
