It is easy. At O2 table (fixed breathe-up time, increasing breath-hold time), if it feels too easy, you simply start with a longer BH, keeping other parameters identical (BH increments and BU).
At a CO2 table (fixed BH, decreasing BU), if it feels too easy, you increase the BH time. It is also recommendable to start the table with a relatively low BU time (i.e. 1'30 or 1') and decreasing it down to 15" and then repeating.
If you hold your breath in water, always have a spotter who stays with you and regularly checks out whether you are still conscious. Never do statics in depth - that's the best way to pass away - the are plenty of highly experienced freedivers who died in this way.
