A common question for beginner/intermediate Freedivers is "How Often Should I Train Breath Hold". The truth is, there is no one answer to this question. How often should you do freediving training depends on how intense your freediving training is, what other training you do, how much rest/sleep you have, etc.

To sum it up:
It depends on intensity.
Min intensity (short breath hold with no contractions, weather its static or dynamic ) - You can do it almost every day. with a rest day once every few days.
Medium Intensity - Apnea with ontractions lasting no more 30sec - 2 days of training 1 day off.
High Intensity - Contractions lasting 30sec or more. 1 day training, 1 day off
MAX intensity, checking ur limit - once every week or two or five. so basically the more intense you training

[@KAIZENFREEDIVING]

You are right, the more intensity the training session, the longer is the recovery time

thank's man!

Glad that you like it!

Thanks. I'm trying to prep for a coming competition in mid-August. I'm pushing towards a 5 min. STA and after that would like to see myself go farther. In the past my physical limit has been right around 4 min. and 50 seconds (twice I've had black out at about this time. Currently I am adding 5 seconds every other day and not training hard on the middle day. This morning I did 4 min. and 45 seconds. After today, every other day I would be doing personal bests for my breath holds. How far do you think I can take this or do you think I should approach things differently?

[@KAIZENFREEDIVING]

If you already had 2 BO, I would say that you have not the best approach. PB attempt shouldn't be done too often. Work on your relaxation (both physical and mental), CO2 tolerance, and don't try to progress fast. Good luck!

Let's say I am trying to organize a training (complete beginner) because I finally have the time during the lockdown. So every day is fine?

[@KAIZENFREEDIVING]

If you do "no contraction" table, you can 2 days training, one day off from breath hold training. But on a day off, you can do stretching!

[@nowhereinparticular4781]

@@KAIZENFREEDIVING thank you !

[@dominikkinimod4120]

Can I combine O2 table training with CO2 table? Like one after another in one day? or one day O2 another day CO2?

[@adamczarny6482]

jak tam wariacie? znasz odpowiedź jak dalej nie to podobno w ogóle nie opłaca się początkującym trenować o2 bo i tak ich głównym problemem jest słaba odporność na CO2, ile teraz wytrzymujjesz?

[@KAIZENFREEDIVING]

It will depend on the intensity of the training table

[@surfistaloquita]

Thanks for the vid I have been trying to find the answer to this question for a while, and your answer makes total sense. Is it normal that I have the most contractions in the first breath hold as well as the last in my CO2 table? The last makes sense to me but the first, is that normal? Thank you!

[@KAIZENFREEDIVING]

Hi! Its absolutly normal, since first attempts wotks as a "warm up". And the last one is hard because elevating level of CO2.

[@surfistaloquita]

@@KAIZENFREEDIVING Ok, good to know! Thank you for the response! :)
