Hey Static Freaks
I just did a CO2 tolerance thing yesterday, on the bed and made a strange discovery. Like everyone else, I don't do it quite according to the book. The work out/work up was 2 min. vent, 2 min. static, 1:45 vent. 2 static etc. to 0:15 vent, 2 static. It went so easy that I almost tried a zero vent, 2' static (just kidding, I tried that once and had a headache for two days).
After the last 2 min apnea, I breathed through my nose for three minutes to get things settled down, did my normal 6:30 breathe up and then my personal best. The time isn't important because nine of the last ten static sessions ended within 1% of PB but, they ended with light to moderate sambas. I've been pushing to a number and training for control. This time it was number plus 0:15 and rock solid. Hesitate to say anything until the backup but, has anyone else stumbled onto a weird prep that produced good times?
Aloha
