Post Your Breath Hold (Week 47: Nov 18th - Nov 24th)
Post all your Breath Hold Times here! Let's go & double your breath hold! 🧑🏫 Step 1: Take an inhale, start your stopwatch & hold your breath. Step 2: Post your time here so you can get feedback and points Step 3: Head on over to the Classroom & follow the instructions Already participated last week, or last month? No worries, you can post and do it as much as you want (as a matter of fact, we'd only encourage it 😎) And if you done the challenge once (or twice), feel free to shake it up a little bit. Do exhale breath holds only for a week, or take it easy and do 1-2 breath holds a day without going for a max. Variety is the spice of life. Get to level 4 in the Leaderboards, and you unlock the Superhuman Lungs training protocol (who doesn't want to have lungs like the Human Dolphin?) Post at least 3 times before the week is over, and you may be the lucky winner of the Breath Hold Mastery course 😎 Also, a warm welcome to all the members that have joined us last week: @Nick Stokes @Zsolt Dr. Sebestyen @Ulric Pattillo @Maria Romero @Simon Laevers @Jane Berg @Stephan Oelkers @Gesa Stolting @Gilles Beaudin @Bettina Zimmermann @Regina N @Kimberly Palmer @Matthew Newton Ede @Umma Kannayan @Anna-sophie Christensen @Christian Christensen

BHC day 7 1 2:05 till first discomfort. 2 2:20 no discomfort yet. 3 2:42 90% of pb 3:00, minor throat convulsion starting at 2:28 til end. 4 3:15 deep relaxation starting at 1:20 swallowing and later convulsions starting at 2:15. Lowest saturation 91%. Rest time is decided by bodyfeel and heartrate (<= 60-65 bpm) and saturation level (>=98%) at least equals previous dive time. Prep for next dive after the rest. After each consequtive dive a much slower recovery rate of the saturation.

Mostly New Breath Hold Lounge
Hello everyone. This is the mostly new Breath Hold lounge. Some of you are probably wondering why a new one. The other one had a lot of posts, but not a lot of people used it anymore. So I am hoping to make this one more fun. This is also the place for questions if you have one. A few rules though. Make sure to post your breath hold times in the breath hold thread. If they aren't posted in the correct place then you don't have a chance on winning a weekly giveaway prize. They will also be removed from this thread and put in the other. The second rule is to be kind to the people posting in here. The third is to have fun. 🙂

I like to tell about it. I use this breathing sequence to exercise aeroob duration without too much boredom specifically for breathing muscles. That is why the sequence is long. The changing ratio's make it more interesting. But also, I am unable to do very long breathholds, so by building the ratio's from 4-8 to 5-25 stepwise I get an effect a bit similar to a very long breathhold, but without actually having to hold my breath that long. The exercise challenges me to get mentally comfortable with higher CO2 levels I think, and also it just touches upon that same physical challenge. I figure that it is also in general a light aeroob training to do breathwork that long. I use a regular way of breathing in through the nose, then out in a very controlled manner through the mouth while creating a slight resistance inside the throat. There is that technique but I forgot the word.

@Oleg Kashin will revisit the lessons around that again, thanks for the reminder.

🌊 Do you want the result? Or do you want the flow, knowing that flow is by definition the sine qua non of heart-originated result? 🌊 Max BH= 3:15 🌊
