basco said:My advice is to make one max static per week. No more..
Very interesting routine... I am going to work on it, adapting it though to more modest objectives (I should like to do over 4:00 next comp at the end of the month...DSV said:You warm ups may be the problem. You should try doing longer and longer warm up/statics.
Example:
Warm Up:
5:00 facial immersion with snorkel, no mask
3:00 breathe up
2:00 static
5:00 rest, relaxed normal breathing
5:00 breathe up
3:00 static
Repeat 5:00 rest and breathe up, 3:30 static if you don't feel ready
7:00 to 9:00 rest, relaxed normal breathing
7:00 to 9:00 breathe up
Go for a long one.
The rest time is very important. Statics are very taxing to your body and it needs the rest to recover. If at any time during your breathe ups you start to tingle (hands, arms, legs, abdominal area, lips) you are ready to go. You can do 1 of 2 things. 1. you can start your static or 2. you can pump your fist to make the level of CO2 rise to stop the tingle. Be sure during your breathe ups you do some purging to blow off CO2, usually near the end of the breathe up.
Everything else looks good.
Remember this is just an example. If you can't do it no problem adjust to what you can do.
This is my routine and I've been averaging 6:30+ so I know it works for me, but everybody is different.
