I just started playing, appropriately, under the name
Apneist. I usually play AS or ONS. Don't have much time to play so am probably only on 30 minutes a day when doing tables. When I did my 4 min PB the other night I was bragging to everyone in the server about it and of course they all thought I was insane.
Don't thank me though, thank the people who made the wonderful tables WITH SOUND. That is the key. I was planning on starting tables for a long time but was dreading the boredom (and boredom makes it harder too). I tried a few times with nothing to occupy my mind and was getting uncomfortable and unmotivated and simply giving up around 90 seconds or so, pathetic. Watching TV has been suggested, but that is still not as good as doing something ACTIVE with your mind, plus I'd be apt to watch the Simpsons, as suggested, and I'd most likely laugh. Before UT, the best way for me to relax during static was while driving, but that obviously was not a good solution and I couldn't push myself far at all. Now I have the perfect solution. My muscles are all relaxed and my mind is occupied, maybe even more than in a dive. I guess my biggest risk is BOing and smashing my face on the desk.

But when I go for a max I back away from the game during the last 10 contractions or so and give the breath hold my undivided attention (excruciating pain at that point too).
Anyway, enjoy.

What name do you play under?
EDIT: Funny thing, I just started playing this Temple of Trials map where you have to get through all these Indiana Jones type challenges and I keep drowning. While holding my breath of course.
