i'm totally irrelevant with this but i dream of becoming a diver one day, all i do is just snorkelling, but im a smoker, 28years old, and i cant hold my breath for more than 40 seconds. But that video was helpfull, cause once again, as many things in life, it helped me realise that a big part of my self limitation comes from my mind, my anxiety and my fear- fear that has been built on the idea that if you dont breath the very moment of the "moderate discomfort" something bad will happen. They way you suggest self-observation is a form of meditation too! thank you both for this video!
These strategies helped me a ton! Whereas swimming 25 meters underwater with no fins would normally be pretty challenging, it has now become extremely easy thanks to you and this video! Also, normally my tike for holding my breath was only around 40 seconds, but now with these techniques it has increased more to 1 minute and 30 seconds! These videos are insanely useful and I have no idea why you aren't receiving more views. You really do deserve them.
thanks you so much Martini! My channel is growing, but slowly. I guess in 2021 this is how it is. Also this kind of content isn't easy to digest. It's only for those who have an attention span longer than 10 secs haha. All the best !
I'm a freediving newbie, started almost a month ago and I've fallen in love with this hobby/sport. I started doing dry static apnea exercises two weeks ago and went from 1min30sec to a personal record of 3min15sec just the other night. One struggle for me was to be consistent with my breath-hold duration. And this video is just key to eventually solving that issue. I went from 1min15 (first breath-hold exercise) to 2mins (second) before feeling mild discomfort after applying the relaxation technique. Will continue working on it. Thank you very much!!
Thanks Gert for providing all these tips and techniques. This was amazing thing to know specially on the 3rd breath hold and how to prevent the anticipation. I literally needed to hear this because whenever I dive deep the moment I turn to ascend my mind always goes to the anticipation and start thinking about the long way up to surface and if I’m going to make it safely. The feeling of stop going into anticipation and predict what’s next and just stay in the present is so great. Loving it. Thanks again.
This video was fantastic!! First hold: 0:57, second: 1:35, third: 2:17. I couldn't believe the difference one after the other! I really like the idea of switching from relaxation, to the repetitive phrases, it seemed to “reset” the clock in your mind. When I started to feel my stomach twitching/contracting I moved and stretched it a little, it seemed to help. Thanks so much :)
Yes, it helped a lot! Thanks! Ussualy I was achieving 4 minutes on static. But a few months ago I started having a lot of issues (my country is on a big crisis) that made my training very hard, a lot of anxiety everyday, all that anticipation thoughts appeared over and over! I tried this technique and it's amazing how a mantra helps blocking the anxiety from the mind. Thanks a lot, I'll try it on the pool tomorrow! Cheers from Chile!
Love your video. I will start training today using your advice. From my personal experience, I know for sure how powerful the mind can be. I have extreme panic attacks for which I take my meds. When I forgot my medication, I used what you call a Mental firewall to distract myself, and it actually helped me come down. My "firewall" was simply trying to solve some math in my head, and it helped to distract my body from "screaming" "I can't breathe, I need more air."
I was a big culprit with anticipation. I remember doing this a lot while running races too - imagining the end of the race or the finish line. Very interesting challenge to overcome.
hey there again! i'm so thankfull for your videos and guidance, in just 2 days, after watching your instructive videos i reached 2minutes of holding my breath! thank you so much
Gert thank you so much for this amazing video and all the content of your channel! I have benefited greatly by practicing your instructions so thank you again and please keep them coming! Greetings from Greece!
I find small breath pumps into my goggles or throat/epiglottis really help. You're not actually breathing, but it tricks my mind into resetting the clock.
you mean little air shifts from the lungs towards the mouth and back to the lungs? yeah that can help you focus on that instead of thinking about time. 🙏
to give the credit when it due thanks to your video, i exceeded my PB by 2min yesterday last week my PB was 7min, and yesterday i did 9min, it might also been due to fasting too but i coudnt believe i could reach 8min (where i planned to stop) and i was still feeling fine to continue so because of what i learned from this video, i could keep going on and not thinking about (common man, i can't possibly reach 9min)
Wow, for the 1st I hold for 47”, the second I hold for 1:45” and by the 3rd I could hold breath for 2:17” couldn’t believe it. Thanks for this amazing fact
I only did 2 breath holds. first was 2:45 the second 3:30 did not expect to reach my personal best today again. I think I could have gone longer that had I not freaked myself out and lost my relaxation by looking at the timer. Happy non the less.
I find this really interesting. I've been doing the Wim Hof Method (that I'm sure most of you have heard about). With that you are obviously over oxygenating your body so you don't feel the need to breathe. But doing it with just one big breath and using techniques to control in a pretty incredible way to build a longer breath hold
This helps in confidence building and experiencing stress shot, that is good for your health, but not so much helpful with freediving, as you are not getting trained to handle higher levels of CO2 I guess.
Cheers Gert, managed to get 2:45 dry static before I nearly urinated in my pants, usually diving I can urinate and keep pushing so I was extremely happy to achieve that time dry and not submersed in water! I bloody love your channel! Thanks for the help!! ❤️ from Australia🇳🇿
In fact it’s possible to listen to music during a competition... at least in AIDA it’s allowed to do! BoneConducted Headphones do the magic for me... may work for others, too! ;)
@@philhulford4468 if it's minimal it's not necessarily a bad thing. I sometimes move fingers and toes a tiny bit just the relax them even more. Watch my 2 and 3 minute breathhold video where I talk about the body scan. So it can be a good thing. If it's the result of anxiety than you have to work on relaxation and get rid of the movement. ✌️
My strategy to hold my breath long was that I’m at a bar right now so I ignored the fact that I was uncomfortable and interacted with the staff bringing me my check instead.
Hi this does help a lot especially the mantra technique, and a total irrelevant question but where in Panlgao did you shoot this video? The place seems great.
This is my first apnea video and i am just starting my curiosity about this amazing exercise! Rookie question - is it okay to let out a little bit of air at a time once you start the period of discomfort? My discomfort is that pressure builds up in my chest so to make it more comfortable i do this. Once i have let out all the air (in tiny increments), i then get vey quickly to "omg i cannot breathe" and then start the anchoring mantra which may be too late because the contractions start and i cant get but a few seconds in after that point. Thanks and subscribed!
I start holding my breath, after about a minute I exhale the air inside me and continue holding for another 40 or 50 seconds. Should I exhale and continue holding or is it better to hold until the end without exhaling?
hold until the end. the reason why you (unconsciously) exhale is becajse you're exhaling the high Co2. so when you get rid of high co2 suddenly the breath hold feels easier. the problem is you're also exhaling your oxygen. do if you want to hold your breath longer you need to keep in all the air, and become comfortable with higher Co2
Lorraine i was worse than you. I used to feel I'd burst at 20 seconds. I started wim hof breathing which encourages really deep breathing. I think it helped me hugely because i feel like my ribs, chest cage and diaphragm can expand more. Doesn't have to be WH but keep at it and practise huge breaths also to improve your capacity. I'm only a baby step ahead of you but Gert seems brill for guiding us
Instructions not clear: the text translation did report “now that you’ve done the three brothels” I did but no improvement in holding breath, but got an STD. I’ll do into again.
My problem is that when contractions start my bully starts burning it really hurts. I started with 55 sec of breath holding now i got to 2 minutes but i feel i can hold it longer without that pain in my bully. Is it because i have a big bully and bully fats. Can you guide me through that
i feel like i can hold my breath for more time if i take out all the air because it's more incomfortable for me to have all that air inside i feel like i last less
I focussed on a air like feeling generated in my forehead as a combination of my imagination and a resonation of a slicht pressure generated up in my chest
hi Ely honestly i don't feel lonely that much.. it does happen, but when it does i consider it as a part of life and i don't fight it. I let i just happen. So i don't feel the need the control anything. I think when you accept lonelyness it's easier to deal with it.. wish you all the best!
Hi Gert, great tutorials, really helpful. On the video regarding the mental techniques on how to "fool" the brain on the static breath holds (very interesting by the way), I don't know if you noticed that the subtitles have a lot of mistakes. Thought I should let you know! 2 questions, I seem to have a problem identifying contractions when I do the walking breath hold training. Can contractions show in different body reactions, like involuntary swallowing or other reactions other than diaphragm vibrations? You mentioned hick-ups in one of your videos, are the contractions normally very obvious and easily recognizable? Any advice, regarding this issue? Question number 2, do you think that 8 rounds of CO2 or O2 tables are enough and that more than 10 rounds per session is too much? Thanks and keep up the good work!
you mean on this video you're commenting on? (How to STATIC APNEA? Tips & Tools for BEGINNERS). - Can contractions show in different body reactions, like involuntary swallowing or other reactions other than diaphragm vibrations? Yes they can. You can sometimes see them in the neck area, or throat. - You mentioned hick-ups in one of your videos, are the contractions normally very obvious and easily recognizable? No always. The first contractions can be barely noticeable, but as you proceed in the breathhold they get more obvious. Also, the more experienced you become, the more you are aware of what really goes on in your body and it will become easier to identify the early contractions. Sometimes, when i'm so much in the zone, i don't even notice them at all because my mind is somewhere else. Only when they become stronger, they take me out of my "zen" zone and from there on it's more like a fight ;-) - Any advice, regarding this issue? Yes, accept the contractions. They're part of a freediver's life. The more you accept, the easier life become. - Question number 2, do you think that 8 rounds of CO2 or O2 tables are enough and that more than 10 rounds per session is too much? I'm not a fan of co2/o2 tables. They have value, cause the more you hold your breath the more you get used to breathholding (obviously) but i wouldn't go mad on these tables. Instead, focus more on finding a way to calm your mind. 10 rounds of co2 tables can easily wear you down. Focus more on the feeling, not on the numbers. cheers :-)

you might be tensing up your belly, either abdominal wall or diaphragm. Relax all muscles!
i feel like i can hold my breath for more time if i take out all the air because it's more incomfortable for me to have all that air inside i feel like i last less
I understand. But eventually you need to become comfortable with full air in your lungs to hold your breath longer
Very informative 🙏🙂
Thanks hope it helped!
I focussed on a air like feeling generated in my forehead as a combination of my imagination and a resonation of a slicht pressure generated up in my chest
that's awesome! we all focus on differen things. also, know that the longer you hold your breath this pressure in the chest will go away!
As I hold my breath, I imagined I duck-dived and went down as far as I can until I cannot hold anymore
.
you still have to come up
I felt a lot of heat on my face after the second hold
whatever it is your feeling, let it happen. relax
