[grifoss420weedsted1]

[Astronautical123]

she would be a great girlfriend for houdini

[jou00jou]

This is actually dangerous because you should be breathing when exercising to feed the tissues and muscle but it's cool anyway.

[svalomat]

oh my gott she has so much width !!!!!! 

[Rlawjdgns]

whats up wit this song lol

[Alexanderiathegreat]

Try it and see if you can do it?

[jadensmith79]

Thatz e z evert thing lighter underwater

[1bigbenr]

thts good!! prolly really hard to do

[Spideyfan276653]

Would it be weightless or weigh less underwater?

[LolRawrz07]

Woaahh xO cool!

[im99mining]

Look at those weights lmao it's probly like 5 pounds

[Alexanderiathegreat]

im99mining,

Nope not 5lbs. 2 tens and a 5 pound bar for a total of 25.

[boldziga]

@Alexanderiathegreat it would be really easy because ur under water.

[Alexanderiathegreat]

@boldziga

25 lbs is 25 lbs. If you don't think this is heavy enough go to my 50 lbs lift and watch me do 2 sets on 10 on a single breath. By the way if you think this is easy watch me to 3 sets of 15 or 45 reps underwater in a single breath. Most people cannot do more then 45 seconds underwater never mind 45 reps of a 25 lbs curl bar underwater.

[beingbanana]

@Alexanderiathegreat not saying this isn't hard, but you have to subtract the weight of displaced water to get the actual weight you are lifting. :-\ 25 pounds isn't 25 pounds underwater. physics

[1NegroNinja]

@Alexanderiathegreat but underwater?? come on

[rhcpkicks1]

You have to breath when lifting weights or you can pass out from lack of oxygen.

[Alexanderiathegreat]

When I am doing uw lifts it is to help me to learn how to deal with stress while holding my breath. You are right I have to be careful not to black out. For me though whether it is lifting or escaping chains and shackles I have to learn how to hold my breath while exerting a lot of effort and not black out.

[Alexanderiathegreat]

rhcpkicks,

I know which is why I do it to train my body to tolerate more stress underwater. I am an escape artist and if I don't train for the worst then I will not be prepared.

[mizzhiphoper]

wow aht song is this XD

[SurviveDawn]

Holy.... 1minute and 8 seconds... nice!

[Alexanderiathegreat]

You will see longer times this summer.

[Alexanderiathegreat]

This was just training and not going for max breath hold. I will shoot another few soon and we will go for max.

[IloveLipstickJungle]

What song is that?

[Alexanderiathegreat]

The song I believe is called Can't Breath. It was a royalty free song suggested by Youtube.  Perfect for this video.

[IloveLipstickJungle]

@Alexanderiathegreat But do you have, like a link to the song on youtube or something? I can't find it !

[Alexanderiathegreat]

Cooleo,

You are right in the strict sense as you draw your power from proper breathing and lose the aerobic benefits to the excerise as well. For me I am trying to work on holding my breathe under severe stress and the weight lifting is asking my body to respond in a stressful way and still hold my breath. I would caution against anyone doing this as I am a trained professional and if done incorrectly shallow water blackout can occur which can be fatal.

[cooleoe]

your not suppose to hold ur breathe as you lift

[pewknee]

Another 5/5 !

How much weight is on the bar?

What weight do you train with (when you can breathe LOL) ?

[Alexanderiathegreat]

I did just 25 pounds in these curls. I can do more but uw I usually go a little lighter. I am a power lifter so lifting is not big deal. I love to lift.

[Alexanderiathegreat]

It is difficult but fun. I love to lift. I do uw lifting to try and increase my ability to hold my breath under extreme stress. This so I can try and stay under longer in my escapes. Being an escape artist & jumping into a pool with 55 pounds of chains and shackles is very stressful. It's hard to hold your breath in those situations. You need to try & be calm and learn to conserve as much O2 as possible so you have enough time to escape. These exercises are designed 2 increase my bh time

[msthomassen]

pretty cool! lifting weights must of course be a lot more effort to do!!! super! congrats!
