I find this a bit weird, and hope someone will be able to give me some pointers For background info, I`ve been working mainly on my max. static(with a few apnea walks a couple of times a month) for my entire free diving career(a whopping 3 months… been swimming a bit before that…).
My last 4 consecutive days of dry static training have been,
Day 1: 2:30 hold, 2:00/2:00/1:45/1:45/1:30/..., breathing, for a total of 8 holds(last breathing being 1:15)
then the following days I added seconds to the holds
Day 2: 2:40
Day 3: 2:50
and finally day 4: 3:00
The whole 3:00-holds-set was done completely without contractions. I prepare 2 minutes before the first hold. 1:15 of 4secs in/4 secs hold/10 secs out, and 45 secs of “blowing out a candle” done relatively slow). I know, not CO2-tables that often, but I felt like I was on a roll, so …).
Now the question I hope someone can answer is this.... My best static(dry) is 4:01, and considering I can do a 3-minute CO2-table with relativily ease(no contraction),
1. Have I been hyperventilating so that my 3-minutes in the table brought me, without contractions, to the point of BO, had I continued a few secs more?
2. Should I generelly spend more time with contractions(one-breath tables or such)?
3. Is there a factor(factorS) somewhere I`ve completely overlooked…?
Any help will be much appreciated!!!!
