I've only been pool freediving since late november so excuse my ignorance on this subject but here goes....
- I've tried packing, but seem to use a hell of a lot of effort to get the increase, which also feels incredibly uncomfortable. Am I doing it wrong?
- When I do pool training, I like to feel comfortable, and packing seems to go against all these instincts. It seems like all the extra effort in packing is wasted in the extra time I spend trying to achieve it...(does that make any sense?) I just take one big breath and off I go............
- Also, I don't seem to have contractions. Does this mean I am not pushing myself enough? I have been doing DNF mostly, and don't know whether or not it has any effect on the strength of contactions in comparison to static. (Do you feel contractions more in static?)
I read Umberto Pelizzari's interview on DB and he seems to follow a similar line with regards to packing....Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
Thoughts please
