      Dont worry its not that hard, or you could just ask a follower to do it for you (pretty sure people would be ok with that). You just share the content with the developper and he does the app. Then he can give it to you to send to the store.

    Hey Adam, Thanks for the videos. Love your enthusiasm and inspiration. I'm 61 years old, and have loved being underwater since I was a little kid. Before today, my previous longest breath hold was 3:00 minutes in a pool when I was about 20 years old. Here are my times for today
    1) 2:45
    2) 3:45
    3) 3:30
    4) 4:30
    I was very excited about this new personal record. Thanks again for the videos. GREAT STUFF!!!

    Wow, I really impressed myself this time. Adam, I saw your videos weeks ago, and got me motivated to improve my breath holds. I found your videos really interesting and entertaining as well, good job! I have been practicing in the last 2 weeks the CO2 tables incresing from 1 minute hold to 1:30 and 1:45 two times. Also, I followed your advice and signed up for a freediving course last weekend and it was fantastic....I dove down 20 meters for the first time in my life! and now for the first time I could hold my breath for more than 5 minutes! even though last week couldn't hold my breath for more than 2:30 minutes......but I am understanding why, now. Thanks again and keep doing the good job!

      Thanks Adam! Today I got a new PB of 5:17! and getting into the groove. Relaxing is key....for the first time in my life I am realizing this. Also, I would like to ask your opinion about this: after I did my 5:06, and after my 5:17 today, both times my left hamstring started to cramp a little (even when I was relaxed). It is kinda weird, since I didn't move my body at all, always laying on my bed. Any thoughts about why this could be happening?

    In 1st try 1:43s
    2nd try 1:45s
    3rd try 1:50s only.
    I will also try this to catch more fish here in the Philippines.,

    My pb static is 3:45, but I find it more/less difficult depending on the day/hr... i appreciate being told to not push too hard and let my body adjust and improve in its own time. I have a habit of turning up the intensity too fast and burning out fast esp w/ athletic pursuits. I dont want that for my freediving! Thanks!

    Hi Adam and everyone in the free-diving family. Thank you all for your inspiration. I'm a 64yo and want to still be doing this when I'm an 84yo. I need more motivation as I'm not consistent (off and on like a faulty light switch lol). I'm not sure if I did the exercise correctly. Intervals between breath-holds were 1 min approx. Looking forward to any constructive criticism. I've only been in the water Mar'18 (NZ hols) and haven't been diligent with any regular exercise regime. Looking forward to your reply. And....I'm so glad that I found your vids, love them to bits. Cheers

    Hey fellow freedivers of the world, question for ya. I have trouble equalizing on occasion and often have to push air into my drums and swallow in order to get a pop on the way down. Sometimes only in one ear thus compromising my dive. Anyone else have their own magic way to do it because that’s all I got so far and I can’t get past about 30-40 feet before I am unable to equalize. Also Adam you have taught me a lot about breathing in the 45 minutes I’ve spent on your channel. I didn’t think I could get past 1:30 but after listening to you I held for 2:45 on my first hold and I’m blown away.

    • @banderson2502
      @banderson2502 2 роки тому

      I’m brand new to free diving… but I’ve learned to hold nose and pop BEFORE it hurts. Popping 4 times just to get to 20fow. Also equalizing my mask with very small breathe out threw my nose 2-3x. I could be way off but this helps me…

      @JeremyBWallace 7 років тому +10

      Thanks for the advice, Adam - and I love all the effort you put into your videos and responding to your audience!
      I don't yet have a dive buddy to do wet training and plan on taking a free diving course in the future, when I get the opportunity. So what dry training would you recommend I do in place of the days I'm not doing the tables? I currently also do dry dynamic walks, multiple reps with an Expand-A-Lung breathing exerciser as well as use it to decrease my O2 intake while doing cardio long-boarding and land-paddling.

    • @blackneafreediving4305
      @blackneafreediving4305 7 років тому +1

      Jeremy Wallace well whether this was meant to be responded to by Adam or not I'll have a go haha.
      I would recommend maybe trying do to some interval training to try and aim to improve your lactic acid systems as in freediving you are working anaerobically.
      It will also generally help you in using lactate for energy and also replaying your oxygen debt when u get back to the surface and while you are going through your recovery breaths.
      Hope this helps. If you found that abit of a mouthfull im sorry, A-Level PE has caused that 😭😭

    Hi adam, your videos & tutorials are really encouraging me to practice a lot. I find it hard as an asthmatic to hold my breath some days, but with your tips ive improved a lot. It turns out i can hold my breath longer than all my friends (who aren't asthmatics) which i find really funny. Keep the great videos coming :)

    I’ve tried a static breath hold in the past and only managed 30 seconds but after watching your breathe up and final breath videos this was the result! Only problem is that I keep stopping my hold before I feel any contractions. I can’t seem to hold it long enough and on the last one I felt nauseous. But I’m super excited to keep practicing 😊

    Thanks for the great tips and entertainment. You are fun to watch. I have really slacked off on my breath holding and had to dive to retrieve our laptop which I hope the gods liked. But the panic of losing all our footage and diving under docks made it really hard to stay calm and search. While the laptop is in a rice bath I figure now would be a good time to improve my breath hold and focus underwater.

    After doing that exercise I was able to get to 2 minutes without feeling contractions. My max static breath hold time has been 3 minutes, but I struggle through it. I usually get contractions between 1:15-1:30 and just push myself. I really like the perspective of just working your way up and staying within your comfort zone. I also really benefited from your video on the Frenzel technique! Thank you!!!

I wish I could have taken my first course with someone as patient as you- I feel like my instructor lost all respect for me when I wasn’t able to hold my breath for 3 minutes on the first day. It broke my confidence but I’m working on the basics on my own and hoping to get back out there soon to retest for certification. Thanks for the videos! They are so helpful.

    I started a Freediving course two months ago, age 44. Never ever did any kind of diving before. Hardly some swimming lessons. Anyway, during the first static breath hold attempt of my life I did 4:40. Last week I did my second attempt. A surprising 5:03. Which is strange considering I totally suck at dynamic, haha (I mean, sometimes it's hard to do a simple 25m in swimming pool)! I never felt any contractions, more like a strong tension in my lung/throat area. I thought static was just a mental thing and that all you could do physically was expand your lung capacity. Didn't know about the getting your body used to CO2. I'll try these exercises. Thanks!

    I'd appreciate your comment on my following question.
    I do CO2 table training from time to time. My contractions start around 1,45-2,00 minutes. After the contractions, it become very difficult for me to continue holding my breath. I wonder when does this mammalian dive reflex is kicking in and extend my holding time further.

    Note: I currently have a bar in my chest and am only a couple weeks out of surgery so I think that allowing convulsions around where the bar is trying to seat isn’t the best idea. But, to give viewers an idea of what I was capable of before I had surgery these are my two best static holds albeit done months apart.
    Best: (3:11:?)
    Second best: (2:55:?) (note: these two were performed quite uncomfortably for the last 45 seconds or so.)
    Good luck everybody and another thing, I’d consider myself a beginner. I’ve dived minimally on the Texas coast and once by myself in the Dominican Republic without fins or snorkel. Idk if my results are above average or below average but I’m just someone who loves the ocean and decided to practice a bit.

    • @luky4013

      freedivers often use weights when diving in depths which makes them float up less and gives easier descends

    I have passed 5 minutes 6 seconds doing the Wim Hof method. Is there any reason the Hof method would be dangerous for free diving?

    • @semiformal7428
      @semiformal7428 4 роки тому +9

      Yes it is dangerous. You are depleting the levels of CO2 in your body by hyperventilating. This can cause a shallow water blackout because you won’t feel the urge to breathe (contractions) before going unconscious. This greatly increases the risk of drowning.

    • @monstersaint
      @monstersaint 4 роки тому +1

      Yup. Shallow water blackout danger is high.

    I'm new to freediving. Duck diving while snorkeling is probably more accurate probably to no more they about 5m depth. I'm keen to learn to do a course and dive deeper once it warms up a bit more in Victoria. When I was in my early teens, +20 years ago, I DNF 50m during swimming lessons, but the teacher had let me hyperventilate beforehand. I dont want to do anything so naive again.

    • @AdamFreediver
      @AdamFreediver  7 років тому +1

    As a surfer, my aim is really to feel more comfortable in bigger waves, and being held under water longer. My question is, obviously whilst surfing and being ragged underwater, your heart rate is super high and your body is flushed with adrenaline. How much of this training do you think will translate into surfing itself? Because, it's comfortable to hold my breath for over 2minutes in a relaxed environment, but whilst surfing, being held under for even 10 seconds is incredibly tiring and I know that even big wave surfers refer to 15seconds as a 'long time' to be held under by a wave.

    • @AdamFreediver
      @AdamFreediver  6 років тому

      The best way to think of it is that with everything in the body pumping you'll experience in 10 seconds what you'd experience over 2-3 minutes during a relaxed breath hold. In order to make this beneficial for surfing eventually you'll want to make yourself comfortable with longer periods of the urge to breathe and contractions

    • @Robs_vlogs
      @Robs_vlogs 6 років тому

      Yeah, I was thinking that. Like it's more about the ability to withstand the contractions for a longer period of time which will help me the best rather than just keeping into as calm a state as possible and being comfortable. I plan to move to Hawaii soon, where i'll be able to spend a lot more time in the water training. Tiss the dream!

    Adam mate, I'm so confused.. There's so many videos from you related to breath holds, that I don't know based on which video to train. I loved 4 min static table; I also trained with this video. However, I'm still confused on the warm ups and which table to use after specific warm up. So far I've trained CO2 and this is very easy (comfortable?) for me, I have no problem training it. I would love to have a training session video from you, where you go straight on the point with warm up times then what table to use, when training either CO2 or O2. I like to train 2 times a week, but I still don't understand how to practice O2, so that kind of video would really help.
    Thanks infront, you're a very cool guy.

    • @AdamFreediver
      @AdamFreediver  7 років тому +1

      Hey buddy :) the issue with this topic is that training your body for breath holding is not simple and you can't just train C02 or train 02 in such a simple way. Each table to good for different things. Sometimes warm ups are good. Sometimes they aren't good. The best all round table that exists is the 4 minute table that I describe. The tables in this video are just different examples of training that you can do

    not really been doing C02 or 02 table because I only do static in the water because this is where I feel confortable and my buddy is already bored with 3 attempts lol.....but I do dry apnea gym training instead. One question /remark is I never hyperventilate when breath up for doing static (as for diving) but hear many people saying doing it for static is ok, what is your feedback on that point?

    • @AdamFreediver
      @AdamFreediver  5 років тому +1

      A lot of divers feel like the delay in contractions is worth the shorter breath hold they will get for static. Personally I'm not an expert in long static holds and I've never done much experimenting for myself but all the divers that I know who are top 10 in static hyperventilate for static but not the other disciplines

    I’m just getting into Freediving/spear fishing and my breathe holds aren’t the greatest. I started using the STAmina app but there’s no direction. I was using the O2 table and after 3 days my dry breathe hold has increased 40 secs but after watching this should I be doing CO2 tables to increase my breath holds? I’m definitely one of the people that the contractions hit HARD. Once I feel them I really struggle to push forward. Just for reference my static ic 1:50 currently. Sadi know but I’m just starting

    Can you please tell me what around 2:00 - 2:30 of static breath hold corresponds to in freediving around 10-15 metres and just stay in one place. I know it's a very general question and that results vary from one person to another but I'm just looking for a general guideline and rounded figures. I definitely can't do over a minute, maybe 30-40 seconds.

    • @AdamFreediver

    question here, I'm a scuba diver and my best free diving opportunities are during surface intervals between dives...I know the theory on scuba resting times. but will some minutes of free diving interfere with my resting times if I'm not wearing a tank, what's the effect of nitrogen on my body?

    • @AdamFreediver
      @AdamFreediver  7 років тому

      What you're describing will almost certainly lead to DCS. If you have nitrogen in your body from a scuba dive the rapid compression and decompression from freedives has huge effects. You can freedive before scuba diving but once you scuba dived then no more freediving for the day :)
