Amazing video ! I was struggling to pass 2 min 30 that’s why I tried with the video and the sequence worked so well that for the last session I kept my breath after 3 min to 4 min ! Really happy that I discovered what I’m capable of 😊
After just the first 2 min hold, I didn't think I would finish the whole video and hold for 3 min but I did! My contractions for every set started at 1:30 min everytime. Hoping that will get better with more practice
I have started with the 2 min table. Now I am at 3 minutes. I am taking your advice of being as comfortable as possible during the breatholds. Thank you for sharing these videos. I can't wait to go to greece and do some dives. Amazing!
I paddled out into Hurricane Larry swells last week. I haven't surfed in 35 years, it was great. The breath hold exercises is a confidence builder for any type of sport where breathing is a key factor.
Thank you for this!!! I did it. I've been working my way up to here so far using 'STAmina' so I wanted to give your table a go and it was hard but I did it and I'm so please... 3mins DONE!!
Yay! I did it! Held my breath for 3 minutes. Been doing your videos daily. Started with 2 then 2.30 and today 3 🎉 I find it easier to hold breath in morning. Thank you ☺️
Mahalo nui loa (thank you so much) for all the time you put forth to help us. I'm happy to say that I successfully completed this exercise. It was strange that 2:15 and 2:30 breathholds felt more difficult and the final 3 min one was very easy. But I know from you that it's a matter of relaxing (the final breathhold I didn't notice any contractions until after 2 min and after 10 secs I was able to relax through the contractions. By your 10 second countdown I actually began shaking my fists and jumping up and down with joy). While the first progressions breathhold felt like previous attempts, the last breathhold made me feel like I could hold my breath for much longer! I'm very grateful for you!
Congrats on this, but just a heads up on this, if sometimes (not necessarily this 3 min breath hold case) you feel much more easier at the end of your dive or breath hold, that could be a sign of low O2 level, and consequently a LMC or BO. Having said that, your 3 min case this time might or might not be the case. Safe dive and congrats again.
@@xuanzhang3377 the more breathholds or dives we do in one session, the bigger the chance we become hypoxic because we're getting tired. But in this case for beginners to intermediate (even if the title says advanced) there is little risk for BO since for beginners it's always Co2 that stops you not o2. For dives however it's another story since you cannot just surface whenever you want. This table is meant for dry static, not for diving.✌️
Thanks gert, ive been working my way up from only being able to hold my breath 1:30 and these videos have helped me build my confidence and relaxation to get to 3:00. I've increased my average dive time from 40 seconds to 1min. Super stoked to see how much farther I can push myself.
great. but change your mindset. your worst enemy is YOU. Do not "push" yourself. That's not what we do in freediving. Using this word alone gives you anxiety. Instead change the way you look. at breath holding and freediving. There is no pushing. There is only learning, understanding and letting go of the ego. Peace 🙏
That was great, thanks for that brother. Interesting how I started the contractions on the last 30ish seconds of each breath hold. The first one was the harder, then it was getting more comfortable and enjoyable following along.
Hey Brother thank you for this breath hold session, this was my first conscious full belly breath hold for 3 minutes you got me sweating over here. I found the siren effects working on my mind and I can see the relevancy of it. Well done. Looking forward to more breath work with you.
Great dry breath hold training and thanks for the count down so I didn't have to worry about the time. Started to have contractions in the last 15-40 seconds towards the end of each breath hold, depending on how long the breath hold was. My tidal breathes were pretty much normal after recovery breathes. I know my PB was 4 min 15 seconds, but that was a torture, if I were to hold longer this time, it would have been a bit easier than that of my PB. Anyway, I would say 3 min is easy and tolerable, but I wouldn't say it's very easy as I had contractions after all. Cheers👍
2:55 I almost made it! I was fighting a swallow around the 2:00 mark and finally swallowed at 2:15 and I knew it was going to be tough. It seems if I swallow I get instant relief but contractions kick in sooner. I did not have to swallow on the other holds.
@@gertleroy Follow-up... I did this for a second time, decided to keep going for a little more time after and managed to do 3min 58 sec in what felt line only 20 secs more... that extra minute went so quick!...Thanks again!
Hey Gert! What a great tutorial! You really get me in the zone man! Just wanted to ask you why you suggest to sit up straight? I find it more easy to lay down. Is this to be avoided?
Thanks Gert; these are great! I hit 3 minutes with a little more in the tank, so to speak. At 73 years old, I'm also no stranger to freediving, but am returning after almost 2 decades of hiatus. Very much appreciate your guidance!
Hey man! Greetings from Greece! I use these awesome videos of yours to practice when I am not diving. I was wondering if I could do the practice more than once, consecutively. Do you think it would help, o is it too much? 🤔
Hey Gert because of your trainings i did my first lvl FFESSM apnea and now i did my first three minutes : roads to next certification ! can you please make videos about holding breath in dynamic apnea ? thanks alot
Any advice for those of us who can’t even beat 2 minutes? I’ve held my breath for over 3 minutes by hyperventilating beforehand, but I can barely hold my breath for one minute with regular breath up. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Love your videos, thanks a lot.
Okay, via intense determination I beat the 2 minutes. It was extremely difficult to do. 2:15 seems impossible at this juncture. What can I do to make these shorter breath holds easier to conquer?
I would like to know if these breath holding exercises will eventually strengthen the lungs, and will eventually aid a person to be able to hold their breath for 2,3or even upto 4 minutes at any given time ??.
@@ammaarally3700 for 2, 3 and 4 minute breathholds yes. For more advanced breath holds the body needs to be trained in terms of CO2 tolerance but rhna again that might also very much be mental. Stretching of the thoracic area will help you become more flexible and open up the ribcage so you can inhale more air
I've been doing this table every day for the past week, and I've noticed it's alot easier if I've done 3 rounds of Wim Hof breathing BEFORE starting this table. I'm assuming it's increasing my CO2 tolerance beforehand?. I'm interested to see if it translates to actually diving
Nooooooooo! wim hof is Hyperventilation and it DECREASES your Co2 levels that's why my table feels easier! Stop doing wim hof before this table. You need to increase your Co2 tolerance to become comfortable with Co2. Wim Hof does the opposite. And NEVER NEVER use wim hof for diving. please watch my videos on hyperventilation.
@@teasea5517 please document yourself so you understand why. I have made reaction videos that talk about hyperventilation and I have made a video "5 Reasons why not to HV". please watch those.
Yesterday I broke my record (3:15). I really tought it was my max... Well today came new video and I did 3:45 ! (had to switch to my stoopwatch at the end). I feel like im pushing it hard and wonder if this can be dangerous ? Maybe blackout ? (btw. I am laying on my back so I couldnt hit anything)
it is fine to push it as much as you want on dry land, the most will happen is.you will blackout, and Start breathing again. buy NEVER do this under water with no-one else with you. that is how you drown
true. and blackouts in static apnea don't happen that often at this level. Only when doing advanced breathholds (competition) it can be more likely to happen. What stops you is CO2, not 02 so don't worry too much about blackouts.
please watch my long format videos especially the Playlist breathing techniques for freediving and training for freediving to get an answer to that question.
Can you do some more videos like this but increase to 330 and then to 4min? I found that by the time I reached the last one I was so relaxed I felt like I could have gone for a while longer. Really seems to get easier after a few breath holds. thanks!
At the start i feel like OMG but after the first minute i feel just fine until the end and hold on a little- not deliberately but just dont feel the need to stop - whereas the first minute must be doing a wrong warm up or something for me.
Is it bad I'm ripping a bong watching this getting ready for my 3 min attempt, in my eyes I've adding another stage of relaxing so we should be all good yea? I will say thanks now cos I may not make it after my new added stage, I came up with a new plan to keep my brain from wasting oxygen... I'm ripping a big one on my last breath and smashing this 3 minute baby here we go wish me luck 😵💀
interesting and well done ! usually in the beginning of a breathhold pulse goes up and then goes down again. 42 is awesome ! and 92% O2 saturation is just a little under our levels at rest: between 95 and 99%. So you weren't hypoxic yet it's just the CO2 that stops you from breathholding ! good job
Some times when i do the breath hold i swallow against my will. Its like a reflex and then i feel much better. Is it cheating? Do i lightly inhale when swallowing?
Hey Gert, I'm having trouble bringing my hold time to the water. On my couch: 2m45s. In water (72°f spring): 45s, maybe 1m tops. Is it the temp? Is it the excursion? Is the confidence?
it's 2 different things. diving while holding your breath isn't the same as holding your breath. Long story short: you need to learn the skill of freediving. Will make video about this soon !
I'm curious to learn how to apply the skill of relaxation to actual free diving (I dive for spearfishing myself, but figure it's better to learn from freedivers than spearfishers)
@@mokugongoku2789 i have quite some videos on my channel already. you might wanna search in the playlist MEDITATION for freediving, or watch the static apnea videos in which i talk about relaxation techniques, or watch the first 10 minutes of this stream which is all about mindset in freediving: ua-cam.com/video/aNBUF7LJdf0/v-deo.html
Its strange how doing this with a cyber freediver should be so much easier than with a live- not that you aren't all live- freedivers. No rush to dive to the keyboard today xxx would blow a kiss but cant find the emoji
NOW we are talking =) I don't know if I will be able to reach 3min in my current (and not very good) general condition, but our battle will be legendary x'D Back in the day when I was in highschool (like, 12 years ago), I remember holding my breath for almost 5min30 during class (yeah, I was bored), but now it's more like 2min30 (I just try it ounce a few days ago).
let us know about the battle haha. Serious, don't focus on numbers.. just go with the feeling, and numbers will come, but only if they are not your end goal. Peace.
@@gertleroy Mission completed, the battle is over =) But I didn't respect the full processus tho, because I did the 3min olding immediately after the 2min ;) I didn't think I could reach that level this soon to be honest. I didn't really have contractions, maybe just 1 or 2 in the very last seconds, but only because (I don't know why) when I do it, I feel very comfortable for a few seconds. So, it helps a little bit.
@@gertleroy Can't wait for the 4min challenge =) Now the goal is to push the limits beyond my personal best when I was younger. But I'll need to start training seriously again (running, cycling, swimming) If I want to get there ^^' Thanks again for your videos =)
@@WlerickBigotOfficial the goal is never to push. pushing doesn't exist. when you use the word push you are telling us how you approach a breathhld. stop pushing. the goal is to find peace in every breath.
because building Co2 tolerance is what you want. for health and endurance purposes. you don't learn anything with hyperventilation. and you can't use it in the water because of high risk of Blacking out.
@@gertleroy After writing the comment, I did some research online and now I understand. Thank you for the answer. I tried to get to 3 minutes today, but my best was 2:45, and on the 3 minute hold I only held it for 2:40.

I didn't really have contractions, maybe just 1 or 2 in the very last seconds, but only because (I don't know why) when I do it, I feel very comfortable for a few seconds. So, it helps a little bit.
@@WlerickBigotOfficial 👍
@@gertleroy Can't wait for the 4min challenge =) Now the goal is to push the limits beyond my personal best when I was younger.
But I'll need to start training seriously again (running, cycling, swimming) If I want to get there ^^'
Thanks again for your videos =)
@@WlerickBigotOfficial the goal is never to push. pushing doesn't exist. when you use the word push you are telling us how you approach a breathhld. stop pushing. the goal is to find peace in every breath.

Go! (you can do it)
couldn't pass the 2:47 :((, still gonna try tho
take it easy. you'll get there !
Man why aren't we doing hyperventilation, I can always hold my breath longer with that?
because building Co2 tolerance is what you want. for health and endurance purposes. you don't learn anything with hyperventilation. and you can't use it in the water because of high risk of Blacking out.
@@gertleroy After writing the comment, I did some research online and now I understand. Thank you for the answer. I tried to get to 3 minutes today, but my best was 2:45, and on the 3 minute hold I only held it for 2:40.
ฝึกนานไหมกว่าจะได้3นาที
I don’t get how ppl hold their breath for a long time while swimming, my heart rate accelerates and I can’t hold for more than 30 sec
I know right =/
it's all abut being relaxed in the water. that's why the skill of relaxation in freediving is so importnt.
😘

When i discovered your videos yesterday my baseline was about 50 secs. I got to 1:45 yesterday. Today 3:00. Thanks for making this so simple. 👌
That is awesome!
@@gertleroy Took a step back and concentrated on 2:00 and 2:30 for a week. Back on 3:00 today and smashed it. 🙃
