white face - white lips CO2

[Job.Romijn]

I've been told that I look very white after a CO2 static training.
Even my lips!

What could be the cause of this?

The training scheme involves 30 statics with just one breath in between, finished by a max attempt.
I was one time feeling cold, the other time not (because of a suit).

30 statics? :hungover How long were they?

 

[samdive]

not surprised you look a little pale after 30 statics! I think I'd look dead!

Wow! What a training scheme! If I did 30 statics with one breath in between, followed by a max attempt, I think most of the colour would have gone from my face! :hungover

I started a thread on looking pale after statics, and there were some interesting replies.

I go very pale after static training.

This CO2 tolerance scheme is as follows:
2min static
10 times 50 sec static
10 times 60 sec static
10 times 70 sec static
1 max attempt static
All these statics in direct consequence with only one breath in between.

The resulting max attempt was 4 min the first week (with suit), the other week 2 1/2 mins (without suit, feeling cold). My personal best is more than 5 mins.

So what would be the cause of my paleness?

That's a lot! 4min after all that...

I think my buddy would have to carry me home if I attempted something like that.

You must have very high CO2 tolerance!

There are some ideas about the cause of paleness in the thread which I gave a link to.

I just read the linked thread: very interesting!
I guess I shouldn't be too worried.

I also never get real contractions, although I can struggle with movement.

Next time I'll take a small plastic mirror with me, so I can see for myself how I look!
