No, I don't do measurements in or near the water. Only in dry settings.

[MrMcblakey]

What you do is amazing i could really use this in my life and have never done it before if you have the time could you contact me if you have facebook wwwblakey@hotmail.co.uk or email me on some advice on how to start and danger signs you may get from doing this i will look more on the net but will follow a pro by looking more into your videos as ive only seen a few. good luck !!! :) i also agree with the co meter as well as the co2 as its important to know both

@MrMcblakey I suppose there are dangers to this if you have heart problems. I got a big benefit to my resting heart rate (RHR) back in my late 30's when I did several marathons. After training several years, my RHR dropped drastically. It is now somewhere in the mid 40's, but as you have seen I can at will drop it down into the 30's for short periods of time. Also at the end of a long breath hold (6-7 minutes) my heart rate drops into the 30's.

@MrMcblakey There is nothing particularly special in what I do in this demonstration, just very slow shallow breathing, basically reducing breathing effort to a minimum and also reducing to a minimum the pressure of lung expansion on the heart (very shallow breathing). That's my theory anyway and I'm sticking to it. If memory serves, the lowest I have gone using these techniques is 32 bpm with no particularly special relaxation techniques that I am aware of.

except it appears to be on the wrong way... o_O

[wjohnson100]

@Dragill Doesn't matter, can use it either way.

So do you take your measurements before and after a free dive? From my understanding these devices aren't waterproof. Just curious.

I can only hold my breath for 20 seconds. What does this mean ?

[MrMcblakey]

A paramedic once told me you cant hold your breath for ever because your body will force its self into breathing. I ask you if thats true in your experience because you increase the time in what you do but allways end up taking breath and being ok. I saw another video of a young lad who had convultions by doing what you do and said he blacked out even thou i didnt see that on video. everybodys diffrent but you need to push ones self to get futher and as you do this your proberly best person2ask

[MrMcblakey]

I firstly thank you for your reply and still think what you do is amazing i have had a fast heart a few times because of anxitey and now like a nice low resting heart rate. even though what you do for 7 mins is not a rest in a sense i do belive it strengthens the body and could improve ones breathing and make the body less over active and thus making it more calm im 26 now so belive with some running and swimming and doing what you do with breath holding could improve my life in the long run.
