Training for a 5 minute breath hold

[matthias10000]

Hi everyone! I´m training for a dry 5 minute breath hold because I currently
don´t have acces to a training partner. I´m training with c02 tabels (where I lie down as comfortably as possible), ´apnea` walks and a pranayama technique (alternate nostril breathing or Nadi Shodana). Has anyone an idea how I can improve my current training program and/or achieve my goal of 5 minutes faster?
Help would be appreciated.

I´m going to start here with my training log.
7/01/2017: First day
- 1 apnea walk (waiting 45 seconds then walking) until the ´black door`+ co2 tabel: 6*1 min 20 sec (breath hold) + rest of 20,25,30,35,40 seconds after each breath hold.

+ 10 min 30 seconds of cycling

Finally, another training log!! Not vouching for this, but perhaps you can use some training ideas from here: http://freediveuk.com/how-to-hold-your-breath-for-5-minutes-in-1month-freediving-training/

Check out my thread "beginner thoughts of moving apnea"

Eventually I found the best
Improvements that I could apply to my dives actually came from experience diving in the water.

Tables are cool for mental barriers

Thank you for replying and encouraging me
My program of today (09/01/17) was a co2 tabel = 6 breath holds of 1 min 20 sec and decreasing rest pauses in between (40-35-30-25-20 seconds). As of cardio, I cycled , 5,28 kilometers in 10 minutes and 30 seconds

I´m truly sorry to stop my quest to a 5-minute breathold. I also want to be able to close a Captains of Crush gripper (no 2) and the freediving techniques were taking too much of my time so that I couldn´t focus properly on these two goals at the same time. For anyone who wants to follow my journey to closing the COC 2, here is the link: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?/topic/46902-warriorofhappiness-closing-the-coc-2/

I promise that after I close the captains of crush no 2, I will be back to document my freediving journey.
