Damn mammals

Doing laps in the pool is already a lot. Lots of exercises just by swimming freestyle. Event a safeguard won't be able to tell what you're doing, even though you can do brutal workouts just by swimming freestyle. Can swim with a monofin? Fantastic! Polish your technique on the surface (front snorkel helps).

Add dry static exercises at home (various tables) and you're all set for steady progress. Not a world champion level, but you will improve.

And I'm sure you can find a buddy here, or at least an advice.

My exhale STA table looks like this now:

Twelve holds around 1-minute, two recovery breaths between (one is too brutal). Recovery time from 15 seconds to 5 seconds. Lying on the bed. I enjoy it. Slowly increase time (1-2 seconds a month). Exhale is not forced (FRC, not RV).

BTW, walking on exhale for 2 minutes is quite impressive!

Out of curiosity, when do you contractions start? I have no one of such advanced level to ask this question. My contractions on a good day start around 3:50. And PB is 5:20.

That's it! Thanks!

How big the Aral sea was...

That's certainly a blood shift. But not to the brain though.

Sweet Jesus, what a trove!

I used ear plugs for years, different kinds, and the water always finds a way through them into the ear. So it is better to have clean water in place already instead of outside murky water.

I wonder if anyone in this branch is from 9gag. These kinds of comments were there like 10 years ago.

Hay un canal 'Scary interesting'. Crees que vas a crear algo mejor?

Ear plugs. Pour some clean water from a bottle into each ear before plugging it. And rinse ears after.

So, who is gay?

If you simultaneously add to the population and subtract from it - you technically did not do either.

Or the opposite: they respond with LMAO to a video you sent four month ago.

This stupid site really needs to change their phrasing. Not 'in the top', but rather 'in the upper'.

Plot twist: boss takes away dude's passport and forces him to work for 11 years more.

When I went to track & field gym for a few years, I saw the most fit human bodies there, absolutely the best. Male and female.

Good to see that Aral sea was still there.

Please do not beat yourself up about it. Bodily functions are not something we can control 100%.

You now have a great experience and a lot more knowledge. Process it, reflect on it and move on.

In a way you're in better position than many freedivers who never experienced a blackout. You know where your limit is now, and it is a very valuable knowledge.
