This is a general question. Background. I’ve posted before. I’m been doing dry statics 6 months. Alternatively CO2 and O2 charts. Won’t get into that it’s all well documented. Let’s discuss diet. In 6 months I’ve gone from 4:10 to 6:00. Let me say this however. What I eat and when I eat and how much I eat greatly effects my ability.
For example. If I eat a heavy meal the nite before this will decrease my ability to do either charts.
If I eat lite my training is easier. I do not know yet if eating steak versus seafood versus neither does anything. Theoretically meats like steak could produce more Co2. I’m curious about in competition do the elite divers and breath holders fast? If so how long? This theoretically would decrease O2 metabolism and Co2 production when the body goes into a dormant starvation mode.
When I try to get my next PB of 6:30 I’ll play with this and eat very little 24-48 hours prior. Any thoughts welcomed.
