How do you know whether your training is:
A) Increasing your tolerance to CO2 & the discomfort of contractions.
-or-
B) Increasing the eficiency of your body's utilization of air & the ability to relax.
I know training does a little of both, but since I think of my static as my "theoretical max" for dynamics & spearfishing, I would like to emphasize on B since A could be harmful. As many of you know, sambas or BOs in spearfishing often carry much heavier consequences than in pure freediving.
I'd like to get better & am trying to work out a training schedule, but going through all the posts on this board is mind-numbing...
