Congrats on reaching your 4 minute goal! You truly are a master of the [Diving Reflex] hidden ability. It was really fun working together on this video!
Mike, at this point, I don't think anyone will think you're cheating or faking. You are the most hardworking and honest person! Thanks for another great one!
@@deathbyastonishment7930 I think it may be because it is slightly more difficult to get a full breath when you have the extra pressure of the water pressing on your chest. I have tried taking the breath outside the pool, then getting in, and I made 2 minutes 40 seconds.
@Mike Boyde, just want to say that this was the first video I watched when I decided I was going to hold my breath for 4 minutes. After 8 weeks of above-water training I had the opportunity to have an experienced spotter for some in-water training. I hit 4 minutes on the first attempt. This video definitely helped that seed grow, so thank you.
I am Goober Oh no, could I be... a hypocrite? Oh no? Poor me, I’m going to go shove my head in a jar! C’mon, we were on the same side, I feel betrayed.
is it wierd that i can write using 2 hand without even practicing it happens when im 9 pewds fan btw my friend challenge me to write with two of ur hand and compare whats better but suprisingly its almost the same
Same, I remember having a calm surprise when I was about 8 or more, realising that I didn't feel the need to breathe at all and was completely content. I wasn't distressed in the slightest. I began to sink to the bottom of the pool, I didn't need to swim and a lot of the air had began to leave my body. I was lethargic but fully aware, I wasn't losing consciousness. I was just sitting under a metre of more water on the pool floor, I took a big exhale and about 20 seconds later or maybe more when I began to feel sleepy, someone yanked me from the water and the shock of air was what actually made me struggle to breathe, I was so disorientated by the noise and light and overwhelming amount of oxygen in the air. My heartrate was really low, I then found out I was under there for almost 10 minutes and they thought I drowned, and if they hadn't pulled me out I probably would have drifted off and drowned. That was the second time I neadly died. It was like all my senses were... there, you could tell, and most people panic but I was content, comfortable and that honestly scares me. I don't go swimming often because I need to be consciously aware to go up and breathe, but see I never felt like I was drowning. I drown in my dreams almost every night, capsising boat I think. Maybe I drowned like that, always have been terrifed of boats and the ocean. Sucks when you live on one of several small islands and school trips are normally to a few of them (I can swim though)
Hiruko Winter me too bro but mine was a little more different I was 7 years old i think and i went to the public pool around here then i was just looking down at the bottom of the pool then a realized i was underwater but i didn’t feel the need to breath u know? And then I started to get sleepy ( it was soooooo relaxing omg ) but then i remembered a story that my mom once told me that was like a boy that sleeps in the pool and he drowned and died because no one was there for him so I “wake up” and got out of the pool and idk what happened next i forgot haha and i also idk how many minutes i was there but i think it was more than 10 or 8 min because i lost track of time while i was underwater, it felt like i was meditating in the deep of the ocean, my eyes were closed so everything was black.. it was so relaxing but now that i moved there is no pool here ;-; but for sure i would probably sleep there and have drowned and died because there was no life guards there
But i would do it again for sure 😝 because it was the only time where i was so relaxed and my body felt light, I couldn’t here anything there, and there was no light because my eyes were closed so yeah hehe but i miss that feeling
Great job man! The hard part about holding your breath is when your being active at the same time like swimming. It’s much easier to hold your breath when your calm and relaxed.
Yes so true for me. When i am calm, I can hold breath more than 10 secs. When I move my body. Hands or feercan onky last three or four secs. Dunno how to fix this
@@hobiexplorer4857Breathing exercises. Cardio training. Take a lot of really deep breaths before trying to hold it. Keep working at it and you will get better. You can go longer. With one deep breath you should be able to sit calmly and hold it for at least 30 seconds. It's not the lack of oxygen in the blood making you give up. It's the impulse/urge to breathe. You have to endure through it. With proper breathing technique before attempting a hold the blood will be enriched with oxygen compared to normal so it'll last for much longer than we're willing to suffer, before literally passing out.
Have you ever considered trying to learn how to throw a needle through a glass pane? I feel like that would be a really cool idea for you to learn how to do, it’s an ancient Chinese technique that is said to take years to learn and it would be really cool if you could try and learn it quickly

2 years since this video was published and I find it 11 days into my breath holding interest. I hit 4mins10secs yesterday on land without knowing about the diving reflex. This really makes me excited about unlocking longer times!
I’m super late to this but I’ve been training to hold my breath using the same app. It’s definitely worth it! I’ve been practicing right before bed then hitting the pool and repeating the same holds. I started only holding my breath for 40 seconds and within 3 days, I can now hold my breath for 2:30
As a semipro swimmer who drowned using this technique, I would like to bring the single most important message of this video to your kind attention 11:00 Never do it alone. Seriously, I have spent 4 days in coma even though the stranger saving my life was just couple meters away.

i never really thought about holding my breath underwater, i played water polo for 6 years in a very competitive area, and its a normal thing to be kicked and dragged under water with no warning, i tested how long i could just hold my breath underwater, i found i could naturally and comfortably hold my breath for close to 3 minutes before i even get the urge to breath anymore, bodies are awesome man.
I thought I sucked at holding my breath as when racing I couldn't even hd my breath for 50m. Completely forgot about the exercise element and the fact I'm actually swimming. Just did a 3:03, who would have guessed that swimming is tiring
I just wanna say you're very inspirational my guy. I'm the same when it comes to wanting to learn new things, but I never thought to record or document anything. I became both happy and sad at the thought of so many things I missed. But watching you made me realize the obvious. That there's always more to learn, and for that I thank you.
It actually helps me greatly to look at the clock. The constant flow of seconds is somehow calming and drastically drops my heart rate whereas I immediately panic while closing the eyes and holding my breath.
@II-V-I I found exactly the same thing. I started yesterday trying to hold my breath and watching the timer (after a minute or so with eyes closed) definitely helps slow everything down for me.

I held my breath while writing this comment. I'm really not trying to show off, but I always manage to win breath holding competitions. My friends and I do it at the pool and the don't know how to relax properly. You've gotta close your eyes and chill. Time to breath now
@@colezy1998 Alright I except the hallenge. I held y breath while writing this comment. Ahh this is realllly uncomfortable omg. I am so bad at holding my breath waht AHH this hurts how much longer. OK just trying to relax ahhhh this hurts so bad 10 nine 8 seven six five for three too one time to breath now
I'm a scuba diver but I have always wanted to try free diving. I found your channel and I downloaded an apnea app. This is day one for me. I was able to hold my breath for 1:30, the first time. I'm hoping to work my way up to 5 minutes. Wish me luck.
But he is average. I Mean i respct him and evrything but clearly he is not master in anything he is not bad in anything he tries to do so that place him around average.
I’m a free diver. I can tell you that he did a very, very good job, far better than most. That he was able to go for a minute on his very first effort is actually pretty damn good. We all use the same apps to improve. I would recommend using nose clips at the beginning be sure sure you’re not getting any O2.
I would just like to stress that you should NEVER practice holding your breath underwater by yourself. World-class Freediving pros have died in their backyard pools simply by practicing unsupervised so please, be safe and never dive without a buddy.
That is very cool! I used to be a competition swimmer and breath control is tied to speed since turning the head to take a breath can slow you down. I could do 2 laps before needing to take my first breath. The point being, that maybe what may increase ones time is to have something else to think about while under water, reading, a video, something than than just watching the timer.
You're holding your breath wrong. You shouldn't be exploding with the air you hold. Fill your lungs up to full, not over-expanded. Also don't put any force or pressure on your internals (like "clenching") as that will increase blood pressure via constriction and cause those headaches.
I'm sure panic had lots to do with it the first time you trained in water, but it's also the fact that deep breaths are harder in the pressure of water. Awesome job!
Greatest Ever Dumbass he meant he wanted to make Mike learn how to go until 4:20 and also he wouldn’t have died he would’ve just passed out and also why tf did you use the word “noob” noob means “new player” so you’re not making any sense at all
Video needs to come with a massive warning label. Many people have died using this technique. It is not for the average person and please ALWAYS have a support partner
The reason why your times in the water were worse can partially be because of the situation itself as you stated but it also has to do with another thing. When you try it on land without holding your nose closed with your fingers, even if you try not to breathe through the nose it happens a bit (and you wont even notice). So on land if you try it, pinching your nose close vs not doing that the times should be worse as well. Not saying you cheated or anything like that, its just a subconsious thing that happens.
I can pretty casually hold my breath for 2:20 with or without holding my nose. It's quite possible to block your airways without holding your nose with your fingers. I think his drop in times had more to do with changing his environment from sitting upright/lying back to being partially submerged facing down. The water could also cause some amount of mental stress, due to running out of breath while submerged is a lot scarier than while in open air.
James Badger there's also the simple fact that forcing yourself to stay underwater uses much more effort, causing your body to use up oxygen faster compared to simply sitting down and not using any real effort
My PB right now is 3m37s (same length as my favourite song, which I was using as reference while holding my breath). I've only rly tried to break my PB by a reasonable margin twice, and before that, it was 3m02s from another one of my favourite songs. I'm happy with what I've got and it's quite meaningful for me since I have pretty severe sunken chest which, according to Google, lowers lung capacity. My current goal would be 4m22s (the next longest song out of my favourites) which is a long ways to go from where I am right now. If I can hit 4m30s then I should be able to keep pushing...
Is it weird when I completely let go of all my breath and just let myself sink to the bottom of a pool I feel like I belong in the water and have to actually force myself out, like I just feel so relaxed and like I could stay there forever
I do this a lot I've noticed, between my own current inability to hold my breath for more than 40 seconds tops, and breathing out instead of holding your breath, you don't get very long to stay down there, but it's lovely while you do
I mean, as you learned from the video, everyone can do that, and the only reason we find it difficult is that normally our lungs breath at a faster pace. So all you gotta do is slow that pace gradually to let your body adjust to the slow pace
Wow! This is going to be interesting testing out! Edit: It’s almost two weeks later and my record is currently 3:15 on land, interested to see what it would be wet
I'm gonna do this so that if anybody tries to choke or suffocate me I'll tap out at around 1 minute and pretend like I'm passed out/dead and then I'm gonna hope they leave after so I can just get up and walk away lmao
Most chokes cut off the air to your brain, not your lungs. You’ll be out cold in under 7 seconds whether you hold your breath or not. Apart from that, solid plan mate lol
Tip: when you think you really can't take it any longer. Slowly exhale, it still counts because you're not taking air in. It provides like 10-15 seconds of pure relief but after that it'll be right back to where you were before you exhaled
You should try hold breath on exhale not inhale, try hyperventilate beforehand. This method was invented by Wim Hof, it's quite interesting in own sense. After 3rd try I hold my breath for 3:45min, you should really try it. I bet after a few more tries you easily pass 5min mark.
was wondering if anyone else knew about Wim Hof here, though it's tough to say he "invented" it - he just adapted it into his own (bloody amazing) method
hyperventilation makes it easyer, however you should NEVER do that in the water. normally your co2 builds up faster than your o2 depletes to the point of conciousness loss. therefore the urge to breathe becomes irresistable after a certain point, even though you still have oxygen left. the problem with hyperventilating is, that it depletes your co2 below the normal blood concentration, thus turning your blood too alcaline (alkalosis). when you then start to hold your breath, the co2 takes longer to build up, because you start with less co2 in the blood, therefore the urge to breath gets delayed. the thing with hyperventilation is, that it does NOT increase the amount of oxygen you store in the body. if you hyperventilate too much, it can happen that the urge to breathe sets in so late, that you run out of oxygen before you feel the urge to breathe, with the consequence of passing out. you can imagine why that is not the ideal szenario to undergo in the water.
@@marvinm.7634 If the co2 goes down, isnt it replaced by o2 ? I think hyperventilation doesnt increase the amount of oxygen you can build up in your body but allow you to actually reach it which you never do with regular breathing, thus increasing your o2 amount stored in your body compared to default. About passing out with hyperventilating, i though it was when hyperventilating and not when retaining breathing after it, i actually never seen anyone or passed out myself from that so i wouldnt know. But i always though that it was during the hyperventilation phase, because you reached too much o2 in your brain or something.
Well done..so here's an exercise for breath holds..works well on the hard sand on the beach...when you use energy you use up O2...1-make a line in the sand....2-take a monster breath...3- start walking as you would normally...-4-your legs start to feel like you are running uphill in a marathon...-5-hold out as long as you can, then mark your out of air line...6-wait about 2 minutes, then repeat walking back to the start line line, with another deep breath, but more relaxed and slightly slower...you should be able to get beyond the start line quite easily... repeat the following day..🥸
@@presli481 I believe its 24, it was very recently uploaded on the official YT channel of guinness world record. done under water. still, if I am missing something please do let me know ❤️
@@ahumanbeing Im not sure if that man inhaled pure oxygen, but be probably did as even if you're trained very well I don't believe you can spend that long underwater with your brain cells not dying. Also most air tanks have a higher percentage of oxygen for holding your breath longer. 😀

7:40 meditation is tricky. When focusing on breathe its too easy to accidentally switch to manual breathing which breaks the natural flow during meditation. Another way that is more effective is listening or feeling your heartbeat.

It actually helps me greatly to look at the clock. The constant flow of seconds is somehow calming and drastically drops my heart rate whereas I immediately panic while closing the eyes and holding my breath.
@II-V-I I found exactly the same thing. I started yesterday trying to hold my breath and watching the timer (after a minute or so with eyes closed) definitely helps slow everything down for me.

I’m a free diver. I can tell you that he did a very, very good job, far better than most. That he was able to go for a minute on his very first effort is actually pretty damn good. We all use the same apps to improve. I would recommend using nose clips at the beginning be sure sure you’re not getting any O2.
Is there a risk of brain damage practicing breathing out of water?
Even though he is not diving do you think it will make him a better free diver if he were to do it the first time?

That is very cool! I used to be a competition swimmer and breath control is tied to speed since turning the head to take a breath can slow you down. I could do 2 laps before needing to take my first breath. The point being, that maybe what may increase ones time is to have something else to think about while under water, reading, a video, something than than just watching the timer.
A big thank you for recommending tier zoo. That channel is hilariously funny and well thought out.

SUH DUDE I heard you only need to get a cusin but I'm not sure
You're holding your breath wrong. You shouldn't be exploding with the air you hold. Fill your lungs up to full, not over-expanded. Also don't put any force or pressure on your internals (like "clenching") as that will increase blood pressure via constriction and cause those headaches.

The reason why your times in the water were worse can partially be because of the situation itself as you stated but it also has to do with another thing. When you try it on land without holding your nose closed with your fingers, even if you try not to breathe through the nose it happens a bit (and you wont even notice). So on land if you try it, pinching your nose close vs not doing that the times should be worse as well. Not saying you cheated or anything like that, its just a subconsious thing that happens.
I can pretty casually hold my breath for 2:20 with or without holding my nose. It's quite possible to block your airways without holding your nose with your fingers. I think his drop in times had more to do with changing his environment from sitting upright/lying back to being partially submerged facing down. The water could also cause some amount of mental stress, due to running out of breath while submerged is a lot scarier than while in open air.
Probably a mix of both to be honest.
James Badger there's also the simple fact that forcing yourself to stay underwater uses much more effort, causing your body to use up oxygen faster compared to simply sitting down and not using any real effort
Same thing happens when I try this in water - lungs suddenly become over conscious about the lack of air😂
Also water is colder so it can send shock response which may result in faster heart rate

My PB right now is 3m37s (same length as my favourite song, which I was using as reference while holding my breath). I've only rly tried to break my PB by a reasonable margin twice, and before that, it was 3m02s from another one of my favourite songs. I'm happy with what I've got and it's quite meaningful for me since I have pretty severe sunken chest which, according to Google, lowers lung capacity. My current goal would be 4m22s (the next longest song out of my favourites) which is a long ways to go from where I am right now. If I can hit 4m30s then I should be able to keep pushing...
Is it weird when I completely let go of all my breath and just let myself sink to the bottom of a pool I feel like I belong in the water and have to actually force myself out, like I just feel so relaxed and like I could stay there forever
U sure u aint aquaman?
When you breathe out you like have less air in your body so you get less buoyant and you sink
I swim daily and do this all the time ur 100% ok lmao
I do this a lot
I've noticed, between my own current inability to hold my breath for more than 40 seconds tops, and breathing out instead of holding your breath, you don't get very long to stay down there, but it's lovely while you do
I totally understand. Sometimes I get scared because I have such a strong will to stay underwater

That doesn't work like that, the lack of blood circulation to your brain would kill you.
Most chokes cut off the air to your brain, not your lungs. You’ll be out cold in under 7 seconds whether you hold your breath or not. Apart from that, solid plan mate lol
Payball 15 Doesn’t it work by when someone chokes u it closes the breathing way in your esophagus??
@@sereenassaf7745 my nigga said esophagus
And your bpm would go so high that you wouldnt be able to hold it very long
Tip: when you think you really can't take it any longer. Slowly exhale, it still counts because you're not taking air in. It provides like 10-15 seconds of pure relief but after that it'll be right back to where you were before you exhaled
You should try hold breath on exhale not inhale, try hyperventilate beforehand.
This method was invented by Wim Hof, it's quite interesting in own sense.
After 3rd try I hold my breath for 3:45min, you should really try it.
I bet after a few more tries you easily pass 5min mark.
was wondering if anyone else knew about Wim Hof here, though it's tough to say he "invented" it - he just adapted it into his own (bloody amazing) method
hyperventilation makes it easyer, however you should NEVER do that in the water. normally your co2 builds up faster than your o2 depletes to the point of conciousness loss. therefore the urge to breathe becomes irresistable after a certain point, even though you still have oxygen left. the problem with hyperventilating is, that it depletes your co2 below the normal blood concentration, thus turning your blood too alcaline (alkalosis). when you then start to hold your breath, the co2 takes longer to build up, because you start with less co2 in the blood, therefore the urge to breath gets delayed. the thing with hyperventilation is, that it does NOT increase the amount of oxygen you store in the body. if you hyperventilate too much, it can happen that the urge to breathe sets in so late, that you run out of oxygen before you feel the urge to breathe, with the consequence of passing out. you can imagine why that is not the ideal szenario to undergo in the water.
@@marvinm.7634 If the co2 goes down, isnt it replaced by o2 ? I think hyperventilation doesnt increase the amount of oxygen you can build up in your body but allow you to actually reach it which you never do with regular breathing, thus increasing your o2 amount stored in your body compared to default.
About passing out with hyperventilating, i though it was when hyperventilating and not when retaining breathing after it, i actually never seen anyone or passed out myself from that so i wouldnt know. But i always though that it was during the hyperventilation phase, because you reached too much o2 in your brain or something.
As a lifeguard I can say that we were told specifically not to let people do this because people die from it too often
@@dinkstm7108 true, i was trying to be short
Well done..so here's an exercise for breath holds..works well on the hard sand on the beach...when you use energy you use up O2...1-make a line in the sand....2-take a monster breath...3- start walking as you would normally...-4-your legs start to feel like you are running uphill in a marathon...-5-hold out as long as you can, then mark your out of air line...6-wait about 2 minutes, then repeat walking back to the start line line, with another deep breath, but more relaxed and slightly slower...you should be able to get beyond the start line quite easily... repeat the following day..🥸
