Hi.
I’ve been training for 4 months with solid steady increases. I just took two weeks off and have been in the gym a ton, lifting and protein. I travel a lot and I just had two weeks at home. (I’m normally pretty skinny and if I didn’t do these gym sessions, I’d probably wither away with the amount of time I’m in the ocean surfing and burning calories.
I just went to do a CO2 table and it was horrible. I normally have a 3:30 dry static but now contractions are coming on as soon as 50 seconds! I feel like this is worse than before I ever started training. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Does lifting affect apnea in such a direct way that I’m burning more o2 now? Or would lots of core exercises be limiting my ability to take large belly breathes?
Side notes, I’m not sick, eating healthy, and can’t think of anything else that would drastically affect training so poorly, except that I have smoked my herbal medicine 3 times in the last two weeks. So to the next question, how negatively would smoking affect your apnea training and freediving? I know it isn’t helping my times, but i wonder if anyone has noticed performance decrease after?
