if too difficult start with 4 or 5s, 😊

Yes, you can keep going even if you have contractions, if you can keep your glottis closed .

I pack after the RV dive to fully reinflate the alveoli and help the blood (blood shift) around them to be pushed away (I have absolutely no scientific proof this actually happens). And it feels very good, I love the feeling :)

@@VDFreediving ok, thank you. Keep on rolling!

Yes, you can, but Before a big dive, I avoid stretching too much. See your pre-dive routine more as a warm-up. You can use this one, simply decrease the intensity.

Thank you so so much for your advice! Well noted! I am struggling with my pre-big dive routine, so this is very helpful🙏

you need to start very easy with a few packs without forcing it. the flexibility of your diaphragm (its capacity to go up) will increase with time. A proper reverse pack does not engage the diaphragm, the air is sucked in the mouth by decreasing the pressure in the oral cavity (you lower your jaw or your larynx), then open the glottis and the air will come in to equalize the pressure. Then close the glottis and start again

This is very difficult to understand 😂😅💗 thanks for the reply, i appreciate it. I'll just stick with the basics ​@@VDFreediving

Come to see us in Taiwan, I ll explain :)

Not a big fan of burgers :), I prefer Freediving :)

@@VDFreediving Nice After free diving, go ski through a courthouse revolving door

Hello, you can download an Apnea App and ask it to add 2s to the squrae breathing time every 3 to 5 rounds. If your first contraction happen around 1min45s, you can also do long apnea table (15 rounds minimum), each round you go to 1min50, that us the best way to train your chemoreceptors in the brain. Do these 15 rounds at least 3 times per week for a month, when it bevomes too eazy you pass to 1min55sbor 2 min.

breathe as much as you want betweeen the rounds. you should be completely recovered

F....yeahhhhhh ❤️

You can😊, it did amazing for me

Thank you 😊

you are very welcome

A lot, I really have included these breath holds in my daily life. I also do square breathing. I really believe that to force the hemoreceptors to adapt to CO² we need to do more that the classic 8 rounds CO2 table

@@VDFreediving great! So you do breath holds all day, one set at a time or like 3/5 sets every time you do that?

@@carlogozzoli1332 depends, most of the time I do many sets, I do not count

Your soft palate is closed. try to yawn, to move your tongue, to relax your jaw. With practice you will gain awareness and will find the right position. I was exactly like you. Something with helped me is this: 1. Open you mouth 2. Breathe In at the same time through the nose and the mouth 3. Breathe Out at the same time through the nose and the mouth. . If you snore, it is completely normal, it is your soft palate producing that noise. That is the position you are aiming for when you do the balloon ecercise

Great exercise thanks a lot, I can deflate the balloon through my nose. I find it hard to close my epiglottis at the same time to prevent air from entering my lungs. I would be grateful if you could help me with that? Au revoir

Thanks 🤗

Very true, that is why there is a video dedicated to how to perfectly perform a recovery breathing after an RV Dive. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSzoH2FiKZpZ68

Kapalbhati is Hyperventilation indeed. Hyperventilation should not be used before a dive as it could lead to a Black out. However Hyperventilation is a tool we use during dry training for many reasons. In the case of Kapalbhati, it clears the sinuses, and help to strengthen the diaphragm.

Thanks! 😃

My pleasure 😊

No problem 😊

i am going to do a video about them. :). they are a way to suck out more air out of your lungs.

it is a breathing resistance device, very very cheap.

completely normal :)

Glad it was helpful!

because it is, if you feel light headed, do it slower, maybe also you can lack flexibility, in this case Inhale and exhale less
