Hi lifter! I realise you joined up on db to learn about diving but as you see we can talk the talk on most subjects!
There are a few strong dudes on the site & a few associated threads, it might take a bit of searching but there was one chap squatting 600lb.
Found this one - http://forums.deeperblue.com/freediving-training-techniques/69598-muscle-mass.html

now u know.I teach swimming to all ages and yes the brows r in line with the top of the water, this allows for a betterexit out of the water does not put a strain on the neck, fingers are close for a sweep off the water to the chest head comes up and out of the water. swimming helps with stress, you NEED to get in the water more often,take a little time for yourself, i do this every day when my kids drive me nuts, sometime i bring the baby and put him on my back and swim.rofl

I need to get to the pool, period, but alas study will not permit time at present...I literally have 1 and a half hours freetime in the evening before going to bed (after workout)...and if I need to use that for study, depending on deadlines/ amount of assignments plus a dissertation, then I don't even have that freetime. It's my last year, final semester, so it's sensible to put everything into it. I already put some time aside in the morning for apnea training, followed immediately by study...and 1 hour each evening for cardio/weights, but I literally put down the pen and pick up a weight...the time is so crammed...but the exercise time is my freetime, all for myself . As long as the timetable runs to plan, I will be extrememly happy with it.

Don't worry, I get to relax when I do the training because it's something I really want to do, it's just the study that is added pressure at present...and when that's finished, I can hopefully take it a lot easier . The exercise will help keep me energised, and I'm making sure I get plenty of rest which is important, just really very structured at the moment which isn't a bad thing.

I remember last summer, I had books to read in preparation, and it took me 3 solid weeks from the time I got out of bed until when I hit the sack, every day of the week, weekends included...one strange thing I noticed then was how slowly time progressed after I'd put the last book down...1 hour just dragged by, it was the weirdest 'shift' of time I'd ever experienced.

sankar;749308 relly i wish i was like that. i try to be so put together said:

I try to be organised, but all good plans etc, something normally gets in the way which has to be dealt with...we have no children so there is no constraint in that way, but I can understand that children require a lot of attention and taking to and from school etc. I suppose there's one advantage with a speargun being bigger than a person, it would be difficult to shoot yourself in the foot :crutch.

I figured it would be good to get a nose clip, but since there is no shop near us, I went on to Amazon, but the company won't deliver to this area...so, it was a search on the internet for shops in Scotland that would, I did manage to secure an order eventually with a shop in Kirkaldy. I'll get other stuff as and when needed, but at least I found a supplier.

Fine thank's Sankar, apart from a migraine today, which means everything went on hold. I have been eating like a maniac since I got up 6 hours ago, trying to get the calories in. Stats indicate I dropped fat tissue and have gained some muscle, so calorie intake will need to go up to compensate. I hate migraine's for the reasons of not being able to study, exercise, or eat properly...I did study through one and managed to write an essay, but sometimes I just figure it's wiser to let the body do its thing and give it a break. Glad to hear the gym and the swimming are going well. Good luck and hope training goes well for the life guard certification.

Does anyone else here have a nose that is small, and find the speedo competition nose clip a bit uncomfortable at all? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
