dynamic exersises

[Peter123]

Hi all,

iam looking out for new dynamic excersis which i can add to my training programm just for variation. Its getting borging!!

Any ideas?

repetitive diving of
- a fixed lenght with a fixed pause
- a fixed lenght with only one breath inbetween
- co2 table
- static+dynamic or dynamic+static+dynamic ;-)

You need more detail in your training plan than what is mentioned above.
Each of these can do vastly different things, depending on the exact application.

One extremely helpful thing to do would be to get some video analysis and work on what you identify there. If you can't identify anything that needs fixing, upload the video and I'll point something out to you. :-D

For out-of-water homework: How is "fixed distance with only one breath in between" not a CO₂ table? ;-)

Thank you for your reply. I just wanted to point out that i already do" one breath tables" additional to classic co2 tables ;-) I think that i have read about one breath tables the first time in a post you made here in the forum.

However, for me training is not only about getting better, its also about having fun. Variation is one way to make training more intressting.

Tomorrow i will train at my diving club. Programm looks like this. (DNF only)

4x 25m, 75sec pause
Rest
4x 50m, 75sec pause
Rest
5x25m, one breath
Rest
50m+3x 25m, one breath
Rest
2x50m, one breath(never done before)
End of dynamic training

Any comments are welcomed! Filming your self is an excellent idea.

Thanks Peter

Guess it depends on what you would like to improve on? I'm a keen spearo and like to use pool training to increase my bottom times so most of my training is focused on that. I'm heading to the tropics in a few months time and want to hit 25-30m depth with 1 minute bottom time. I usually start with the usual drills, 25m, 25m arms only, time delay 25m , 50m , 50m delay , 50m arms only then start doing 25m - hold 30 sec - swim final 25m , increasing my hold times to 1 minute which results in a 2minute dive.

Other fun drills I do is the weighted 25m walk, holding weight belts and slowly walking across the pool floor, negative dyanmics ( need a spotter!) and countdown 25m, start with 10 breaths - 25m - 9 breaths - 25m and on until you get to a single breath and have to swim the final 25m. The countdown dyanamic drill is really good for breath control but for all of these drills it's essential you have a buddy spotting you.

stoned em - Wish you were in my area to practice - you have the same goals as me, increase bottom time. I try to do the 25 down - hold 1 minute - 25 back , in all my workouts. I occasionally make it!

 

[Stoned em]

I'm probably the furthest away I could be from you Mark as I live in New Zealand. I've found the biggest killer doing the 1min holds is watching the time countdown. I try to relax and visualize myself in blue water and only check the time when I think it's getting close. I think it's much easier to get the bottom times when spear fishing as mind is focused on fish. One thing I found that helped was to have a spa before jumping in the pool, relaxes tight muscles and allows more O2 uptake into those muscles.

 

[J Campbell]

Have to give the spa a try. I wonder if that also helps the dive reflex - being really warm followed by the shock of the cool pool.

You guys should consider climbing back 'up' the ladder--ie if you are doing repetitions with progressively fewer breaths, don't quit when you get to one breath, continue working backwards through the same intervals...
