    I’m making progress. You’ve answered my questions before, thank you for that. I still need to do Breathe ups for longer breath holds. You mentioned to me before maybe one day I won’t need to do breath ups. I’d like to get consistent 2 minute dives. I’m almost there, can get 1.5min dives regularly. I suppose I just need to keep diving. I notice my technique improves automatically the more I go but the breath up aspect still confuses me quite a bit. I’m currently doing one minute no movement and very soft breathing when I surface, and then I do 4-8 bigger breath in with slower, earth Vader exhale. I can actually get 2 minutes when fully relaxed but not consistently.

    it's crazy I can hold my breath for 1: 40 out of water but if I am in the water my average is only 40secs. It is really a mental thing, I need to learn how to relax in the water because my body clearly can live over a minute and a half without breath

    • @orszagpeter7605
      @orszagpeter7605 9 місяців тому +2

      Update: I started my whole freediving journey in the deep water and trying to get deep with one breath and didn't do step by step. I tried to hold my breath in shallow water where I was more comfortable because I knew, whatever happens I will just stand up (waist high deep water). Magically I was mentally calm and I was able to do 1: 40 under water just like outside of the water. Basically for first try. Now I know I am capable of doing it, I'm quite sure I can do it in deep water as well. A little bit more practice and I think I can reach 2mins.

    Olá. Tive um blackout enquanto treinava e não sei o que fiz de errado. Eu fui treinar "apneia walking", e relizei uma respiração por 2 minutos antes da apneia. Comecei inspirando por 3 segundos (com o nariz) e expirando em 6 (pela boca), de modo que ficasse bem relaxado e não hiperventilace. Fiz isso sentado na cadeira. Porem, quando fui executar a inspiração final, senti um desconforto e apaguei por 10 segundos (eu acho) após ter começado a andar.
    Algumas horas depois fui fazer novamente e tive outro blackout, exatamente do mesmo jeito.
    Achei isso muito estranho, porque estou treinando assim tem um tempo e isso nunca aconteceu antes, não senti nenhum sintoma de hiperventilação.
    O que aconteceu?

    • @gertleroy
      @gertleroy  11 місяців тому +4

      when you sit down and then you stand up, you have to be very careful. you need to stand up very slowly, because the change in position can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure.
      apart from that, stop doing 3-6 and start tidal breathing. apnea walk is a simulation of a dive, and for anything in the water we do not use 3-6, but we use tidal breathing. You light think 3-6 is not hyperventilation, but depending on how you do it it might be hyperventilation anyway.

    • @gertleroy
      @gertleroy  8 місяців тому +2

      taking a full inhale creates pressure on the heart because of bigger lung volume. this might result in temporary reduced blood flow. if this continues, take a bit less air.

    Why is it easier to hold the breath after the inhale, rather than after the exhale, when the logic says it should be the opposite? I am really interested in this. I heard that the buildup of CO2 makes you want to breathe, and logic says that if you exhale the CO2 you will have less of it in your blood, so the chemoreceptors are not going to care for a longer time (this is what I understood, I do not consider myself a guy full of knowledge i this topic). However, everybody I know can hold their breath longer after an inhale, including me. Why does this happen
