okay, im only 15 so i dont have much life experience, but i fainted for the first time! i was taking a picture of myself, and i wanted to make my chest looked bigger so i packed pretty deep, and i was standing :D. i cant say i didnt see it coming but still. everyone ive ever talked to sais fainting is a realy scary experience. UMMM. no it wasnt. i was just standing there waiting for the timer to finish when the blood started to drain, but i was like "oh its okay, pictures about to be taken" but then it wouldnt realy stop and it took the picture just before i passed out. i dont remember blackness or anything. you know when you start thinking about something, and you just get lost in your own thoughts and you snap out of it like 10 seconds later, even though it felt like nothing? ya i felt as if i was lost in thought, so all i hear is 2 loud but muffled bangs (i hit a corner, each shoulder) and then ikinda snapped out and im like "what the hell, why am i on the floor? wasnt i just thinking about something? but i couldt remember what it was. that felt kinda cool, despite my moms yelling that freediving gonna get me killed one day :p.

anyway im sure most of you how B/O before but it was my first time, and it was caused kinda on purpose! COOL!

btw, its good to be back, assignments and exams realy got me so i left for a month and a half, but its good to be back.
 
Well if you liked it that much .....try squatting on your haunches and hyperventilating for about a minute staring at an object in front of your feet on the floor, a matchbox...anything. Now stand up quick, tip your head back and look up at the sky(best done outdoors on the lawn on a warm day) and turn around while looking up..........

















Hello, hello???????rofl
 
Can anyone please explain to me in simple words what is this joke about? English is a foreign language to me, but if i understand that you guys are blackouting for fun, it's the most idiot thing i've ever read here!
I just hope i misunderstood. If so, forget and forgive.
 
yup, u misunderstood. i fainted by accident, i was takin a picture and took a deep breath and next thing i know im on the floor, pure accident. it was kinda wierd lol, not that im going to do it anymore (especialy whole standing!). it was a "new" experience though. in fact, ill use it next week in school LOL, ill faint while standing over something soft and say "i get too much homework, i need more sleep... please talk to my teachers and tell them to give us students less work" :D now THAT is a great idea! :D
 
Not good. Packing too much is not a good idea. You can damage your lungs.

You can also get hurt by landing on hard objects.

Please be careful. :)

point taken. i didnt pack thaaaat hard, just want to make my chest look nice and big lol. if anything ill do it over a soft area (less homework here i come...)

jeez - the things some people do in front of the mirror! rofl

Welcome back Superhornet! :D And don't do that anymore with out proper supervision!

If you want your chest to look bigger go the gym and pump some iron :)
 
agreed, but you know how swimmers muscles are, long and subtle. im stronger than most people think but i dont have the freakish lookin muscles you see in the bowflex ads, just nice long swimmer kind, and chicks dont dig that :(

by the way thanks for the welcome back sands, i havent done much training since i had my exams so i better whip myself back into shape! (thats why i tried the subliminal, i hated the fact i just threw away like a month and a half of training and had to do it ALL over again). you lucky guys are all done with school, im still stuck in this hellhole! :D

don't wish your life away Matty! School days were the best, god if only i had the same legs as i had at school... i'd shorten all my skirts again :D
 
LOL, high school is okay (except the boring parts) but still... i need to find a purpose, a goal. and how can a freediver complain about there legs... i mean a FREEDIVER! comeon!
 
Sounds like you had a standard packing blackout. What happens is the veins in your lungs get compressed and there's a brief drop in blood pressure to your head. You will feel dizzy or if you do it too fast or don't stop, you will faint.

Be careful when you pack in an upright position. Also avoid packing too fast, and take care of hydration. Hyperventilation also makes it worse.

And it is especially a good idea to avoid packing or even deep inhales while behind the wheel :)
