HW Week 6: x3 Static warm up..x2 Sub-Max

HW was to be in our ideal relaxed space just as recommended, to check where our Sub-Max breath hold truly stands. This morning I was most at ease from the previous days. Reaching an optimal relaxed state and be in that space, is the most difficult part for me. The clearest indicator of how on point I am on any given day, is the onset of timing when muscle contractions show up.

I prepared with warm-up stretching, Uddiyana, then the breath hold. All phases of the breath hold, I give equal importance to: the breath-up, the varied transitions of the hold itself where calm presence & respect to your signals comes to fruition, then I choose a minute of controlled contractions.

No packing done since I'm still not doing it well yet, and add tension which knocks off any benefit of it. I felt no contractions in the x3 Warm-ups. x2 Sub-Max I chose to pre-set time on the Apnea App to be an extension of a 1 minute breath hold after I signal my 1st urge to breath [UTB]. I can’t say this result came easily today.

Undoubtedly happy of the result, however grounded to take the same Static control into any Dry Dynamic, but mostly Freediving. I’m genuinely grateful for the progress we’ve achieved,
