I was thinking that free dive training protocols are not neccessarily designed for middle aged fat guys . I was wondering if I was reaching residual volume around 20 meters because for example that is what would happen if it were 33% and 6 L rather than 25 % and 6 L or some similar combination .
In an article about "lung age" i also noticed that the spirometers meter measurements were all over the place regardless of age . If 25% residual volume and 6L is normal but improvable , it may be the case that 30%
residual volume is normal on the weaker side of normal . I have smoked when a kid and for a 5 year stint living in another country about 10 years or so in the past.
1. Would it make sense to equalize with mouthfill around 15 or 16 meters attempting to
refine the frenzel.
2 . Does it initially become more difficult to equalize when approaching RV , even with mouthfill
I turn 59 this month , pretty fat 6ft 260lbs with a gut and have had about 150 dives or 20 diving sessions since Jan 1 , live near the ocean
I can swim about 50 meters underwater with
long fins and do 25 meter intervals and also do 25 meters without fins , I swim for about an hour when i head to the pool
i'm going to 18 meters pretty easy if my sinuses are good but that is where i hit a wall ( feels like no more air ) I probably have 3 dives to 20 meters but that has always been my cieling . It feels there is no air to equalize with .
thank you for any insights
