Hi my name is Josh and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some techniques or exercises to help increase my lung capacity and my ability to hold my breath. Any help you could offer would be much appreciated! Thanks
 
You should check out the "beginner freediving" section on this board. Also, do a search of any of the terms you are interested in...there are loads of posts on nearly anything you could ever wish to know.
 
Check out my post thread on holding your breath, This is how i do it. Its not the safest method (Its is often frowned upon, yet some pros do use the Hyperventilation technique) but it has managed to get me a Personal best of 5:01 minutes "How i hold my breath"
