just broke my personal record

[apnearevOlution]

So latly i have been working on my co2 tables, and i have been doing 1 minute holds, 8 times, 120 second intro, then 1 min rest period decreased by 10 for 8 loops.

and a few days ago i tried holding my breath for a max hold and i got 2:06, with contractions starting at 1:30. well today, i did my daily breath holds, and i felt like today was a good day to try 2:20, did it fine, about 3 contractions, so i tried one more time for a final hold, and did 3:04 for a max hold, about 12 contractions.

any tips for going even longer?



well i was happy about it , so i posted.

Congratulations!!! you've broken through the 3 min mark!! now keep doing those tables but now use 1:30s and you'll keep improving!!

 

[Polorutz]

another tip... don't try a max the same day you use the tables... it wears you out

Make sure you're doing a 5 minute facial immersion with the mask off and just the snorkel before your breath ups. So many people don't do this part and it is so important. I am at 4:50 and will get past 5:00 very soon!

My bad! ................I was completely thinking about wet static when I typed that.

Hey thats great, congratulations!!! I also thought of posting my PB breaking experience. It was last tuesday that I finally reached the magical 5mn Barrier. I am training 5 days a week since 2 months now and my performances are increasing consistently. So now its a lot easier to deal with contractions (I train in no breath up style, so there are lots of contraction to deal with ) and I did a really nice and clean 5'18". I am still stoked from this because a few months ago i would never have thougt of reaching these times. Now i have one goal left: The 100m mark in Dyn with fins. But i think this should only be a matter of a few days

enjoy your dives,
Christophe

If your at 5:18 static, then 100m dynamic should not be an issue at all!!!

If it is, .........you need to start working your CO2 tables.

im at clean 5:15 and I still can't reach 100m... ... CO2 tolerance is teh suk

Mates!
Holding a breath 5+, it can't supply the break the 100m barier
one is 50m+ is a barier other is 100m+ barier is sticked in brain, mentally needed to break first,
i mean 2min breath hold can break 50m , 4min breath hold can not DO it, when you do breath hold on bed, let say you close epiglotis, too , you think nothing comes in but very very little comes in from your noise, you can not fell it, in water everything changes, needs more parameters to know for dynamic

 

[apnearevOlution]

i do close my epiglotis

Hello again!
I don't think it will be hard to break the 100m, it's just the fact that i could not train dyn with fins because they were afraid of my big monofin at the pool, and a little bit worried that i could hit someone . As i wrote i really think it's just a matter of time (and occasions) because i trained a lot doing apnoe cycling, so i guess my Co2 tolerance is pretty good!

Have a nice day :wave
