hello to you all ! please help show Rambo he is wrong !

[tripitaka]

Firstly Hello to all! Hats off to all who have made this forum happen and continue to make it the site that it is , thankyou !
I live in Spain and am lucky enough to have a swimming pool for the summer and some time on my hands hooray.
Girlfriend has expressed interest in freediving and so want to get a good solid schedule together for her. Her brother is in the special forces and is from the school that to hyperventilate is the best method of breath hold ! He does not think his ballet dancer sister can beat his static apnea pb of 3.50 . I think she can as she is fit, runs, pilates etc. I have got those beginner tables so will start them and some basic pranyama breathing info. We are regularly running and swimming. Does anyone have any thought views or suggestions or can guide us in this. We have 10 weeks to achieve this . This is a double win as first off its better to train with someone else ( as my dicipline is dire ) and secondly if he loses the bet he has to go to dancing lessons , imagine Rambo in a tutu hahahah ! PLEASE HELP !!! Hope all is good with you all .

With a little practice, Rambo will be wearing a tutu soon. Send pics.

Tables are a good way to start. Do a series of breath holds to get used to the feelings, get into relaxation, mind set, etc. Try that every other night for a couple of weeks and you will be amazed at progress. I'm not a good one to advise on the details of training static, but 3.5 + is a reasonably easy goal.

Good luck

Connor

Before you dress ''Rambo '' up in a tutu please take a moment and thank him for his service for me. :friday.
My money is on your GF but please be careful and don't ever let her pool train alone.
Cheers, Don Paul

Tell Rambo that hyperventilating will lower his CO2 and only delay the urge to breathe. The lowered CO2 will cause the oxygen to bind to the hemoglobin.....Ah forget it..Send pictures of him in a tutu.
