Female Escape Artist Underwater Breath Hold While Lifting Weights

Female escape artist, Alexanderia the Great, http://www.alexanderiathegreat.com doing an underwater breath holding while lifting weights. Alex works to increase her breath hold ability for her next Houdini like underwater escape. Breath hold training using weights forces Alex to work hard while trying to do a static breath hold. This is what other magicians like David Blaine or Criss Angel do to increase their breath holds. To hold your breath for longer periods of time a person needs to be relaxed and comfortable underwater. The more relaxed you are the less oxygen you use. It is very hard to relax when you are bound or tied up with 55lbs of shackles, heavy chains and padlocks and sitting at the bottom of a 10 foot pool knowing that if you do not escape you will drown. Learning to relax while struggling to escape from shackles and chains or a staitjacket is exactly what Alex must learn to do. She will be training in a deeper pool coming up. Alexanderia the Great is training for an upcoming escape artist event called WEAR (World Escape Artist Relay) at the end of October. Look to Alex's channel http://www.youtube.com/Alexanderiathe... for more info about her escape and training for it.

Try it and see if you can do it?

[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.

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

[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.

@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

[cadbrycreamegg]

Are you famous?

[grifoss420weedsted1]

that bar is gonna get rustyy -___-

[tspirit99]

You're dealing with upthrust under water, meaning the weights you are training with are probably half the mass. get out the water and work out.

@Alexanderiathegreat but underwater?? come on

[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]
