Great Webinars Aaron, I like your style of presentation, and can affirm with experience nearly all the things you've explained.
You asked for it, so I have a question for you.
High condition, tall, skinny, lean, good static, poor dynamic.
I'm 35, 187cm and 74 KG, and have very little fat and thin long arms and legs.
My muscles are good at long high level endurance - I've always had that and these days its higher then ever because I bicycle 10x20km a week at a sprinting pace to my work, being a swim teacher. I figure that my muscles and veins can exchange a very high amount of blood (great aerobe ability), consequently my muscles transition to anaerobe very late, only when the O2 in the blood does not reach the muscle. The result is that my dynamic needs to be ended because of shortage of O2 to my brain, but have no or hardly no feelings of lactic acid build up. To counter this I'm adapting my preparation and dive style. Herein my goal is to lower my blood-flow, and keep the blood flow slow, in order for my muscles to transition to anaerobe quicker, so I keep my O2 for my brain, and have the muscles use the anaerobic system. In my experiments I discovered this works.
a) Can you confirm the model I have of how it all works?
b) What ideas do you have to improve dynamics in this situation?
Your Seminars are very motivational, as well as the new divers I met in Belgium, So I wish to work on my depth, with intermediate goals of reaching the needed pool numbers. Eventually I hope to do Umberto's 80m CWT.
ps.
To complement the picture of my situation, in static my Heart Rate goes down fast from 100 down to 53 in 35 seconds, than gradually arches down to 37 @ 2'25" (first contraction) then slowly linearly inclines to the end, 41 @ 5'15". My pb's are 7' static, 150m DYN, 111DNF, 65m CW, 47m CNF.
Love, Courage and Water,
Kars
