btw i smoke:head:head

Then quit smoking first, work on that and come back here saying "I don't smoke", put two smiles next to that and You will be ready to do some Apnea.
otherwise it's one step forward two steps back

I agree with nostres. First things first. Last week my best friend was diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer. He smokes.

Have a look at the very first sticky thread in this section: http://forums.deeperblue.com/beginner-freediving/64959-how-start-freediving.html
You will find everything you need about tables, and about anything else you may need when starting with freediving. Feel free to ask questions that are not addressed in that thread.

I was curious about how often (per week) you do tables. Would you ever do CO2 and O2 on the same day?

 

[tsehos]

i didnt know so far how to do it but im learning how often is recomended you think? and can i do it for the same day?

Back when I actually did tables, I did two CO2 tables, and two O2 tables a week. Try not to do too much more than that. I believe that's about standard practice. If you do more than that, you might get burned out.

Take it slow and see what happens once you feel comfortable. If it gets too easy, try upping the times, rather than number of sessions.

 

[tsehos]

yes but did you do it for example, today you made co2 and o2 the same day? or today co2 and tommorow o2 ?

Also another question can i do dry static without water sitting on my pc?

Personally I think that a single table has only limited training effect. We usually do 2 static training session a week, each session about an hour long. It contains several different exercises which often differ. It may be mix of hypoxic and hypercapnic tables, complemented with other exercises. But there are many other ways to train - sometimes you focus on feelings, on relaxation, on contractions, technique, breathing, protocol, ... You will find quite a number of such exercises, or even full training sessions, in the database of the Apnea Training Manager linked below.
