For this challenge I held my breath everyday for 20 days to see what would happen. I used free diving breath holding training to see how long I could hold my breath, with the end goal of holding my breath for 4 minutes. A 4 minute breath hold is something that I saw in Mike Boyd's video and wanted to give it a try and see if I could get it in 20 days. Here's how it went, and I hope you like my breath holding video.
Have a great week guys! Cheers.

Dude can you imagine how much oxygen you saved. Time to save the world hold your breath guys!

[@joedalton77]

It is said that we can solve climate change if everyone stops polluting CO2 by holding heir breath for a mere 15 minutes

[@CarlosBrancoForex]

@@joedalton77 I gonna start now joe. Hope you do your part. I Will update this conversation when I finish.

[@Felipedominguez1]

Carlos Branco Forex did you finish?

[@tommymack3210]

@@CarlosBrancoForex did you die?

[@CarlosBrancoForex]

@@tommymack3210 I'm Carlos Brother. His body was found floating in the pool. I can't believe this happen. 😭😭 Press F for respects! Edit: His dream was to have 100 subs. Help his soul to go to heaven.

[@Cuse330Ci]

Love your channel but you really need to add a disclaimer to this, people might get the idea that they can practice underwater breathholds solo. You can drown in a rubbermaid tub if you blackout. The first rule of freediving is to never, ever, ever practice holding your breath in the water alone!

[@DerLeeker]

Yeah, i tried a meditation by Wim Hof once - and it stated in the info to not do it in or under water. Sidenote: My first try of holding my breatch with that meditation/breathing technique got me to 2 minutes.

[@ollonnn]

So people don’t know you can drown in water? Wtf..

[@thedice2578]

After 3 months you realise that you dont need oxygen to survive.

[@Vin_03]

Lets go to mars😂🤣

[@qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm2528]

😂

[@hopelesslydull7588]

He's starting to believe

[@Valemustikka]

Holding breath is partly psychological: my distance diving record is 60 meters, but at the same time I could only hold breath for 60 seconds if floating still.

[@TheDhammaHub]

For some reason, a lot of techniques related to breathing (in meditation, the military, Wim Hof...) can sometimes have a huge benefit if done correctly!

[@andivax]

Using Wim Hoff method I can hold my breqth for 7 minutes. 8 month practice every morning after waking up.

[@drsolomon6038]

On exhale as in the WHM or just casual breath hold? In any case thats insane result, keep going!

[@oykhodsheh]

Never train alone and always train with a body who is just watching over.

[@DaG00t]

Here's what happened: *dies*

[@Tweakimp]

I just want to recommend david blaines ted talk: how i held my breath for 17 minutes

[@elliemiller]

Love your videos!

[@garagegymfitness6516]

Thank you for sharing this info some very interesting points that I hadn't considered before. 🌹

[@Africanman345]

Love ur videos

[@odedasher8432]

You reminded me my younger self trying to hold my breath in the pool after swim practices. You won this one😄

[@boulychou]

Well done!

[@iforget6940]

I can hold my breath for 35 seconds while swimming under water thanks i needed this video so i can hold my breath for longer while swimming freestyle cause i compete for a job as a lifeguard get paid 5× as much as my fellow South Africans and if i can breath less ill swimm faster and get an extension for my job to try and make R200 000 next year.

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Wow! You made such a great improvement 👍

[@liccbricc3592]

We need more videos like this I love freedive and stuff😁😁

[@munsonmusclefitness]

Hopefully this gets pinned And sadly we have to say this but PLEASE do NOT lay down in a tub under water to test how long you can hold your breath. Especially if you are by yourself

[@vyom-ex2vq]

even i tried holding my breathe for 30 seconds but it turned out that i cannot hold my breath more than 3 sec😭😭

[@josh-gf5ov]

love this vid

[@mikes3523]

Make sure you don't practice underwater breath holds alone. Read the Oxygen Advantage. Helps cardio, sleep, and I can hold my breath for around 4 minutes now without having practiced breath in holds, only breath out holds. Obviously that's breath in though.

[@FatShadow56]

You’re holding your breath while watching...arent you??

[@halogens152]

Nice glad to see you mastered your mammalian diving reflex

[@breannawilson2024]

I'm getting light-headed watching this 😂

[@hunterboudreaux7]

The max I reached when I was a free diver was 4min 15 seconds. The max I ever dove was 75 feet. It was extremely scary considering how well prepared I was. Free diving Is the most amazing sport in the world. It takes a lot

[@Bigpapiwampi]

Here is my sacrifice to the KZbin gods! keep up the good work guys

[@Milliway]

The first part was hilarious 😂

[@oglegacy4086]

I want to see y’all take more time in these like 10 weeks

[@Cuse330Ci]

Seeing a lot of people suggest Wim Hof method to help but you should never combine Wim Hof breathing with holding your breath in the water. I love Wim Hof method and practice it almost every day, and I also have been doing freediving tables for the last few weeks but you should never combine the two. Wim Hof breathing greatly increases the chances you will blackout in the water because of the effect on your CO2 levels. That's why Wim says to lie down or sit while doing it.

[@samuelksteffen]

Lol as an older brother I loved the intro

[@Rascal157]

That’s a very impressive improvement. Although i need to practice swimming just as much as I need to practice holding my breath, haha

[@LucasvanLieropTenor]

Shout out to the person at 8:00 for being so supportive to you!

[@deco3334]

7:40 imagine if their neighbour walked past and witnessed that

[@IrredeemablyEvil]

Lookin good brah

[@MyLittleMagneton]

How long can you go if you do the wim hof technique?

[@Chris-hw6hy]

Do you feel like you got any health benefits from it? Like improved cardio or blood circulation, etc?

[@brutusiacobus]

Dreaming about drowning is a serious sign that you have sleep apnea! If you are really having dreams that you are drowning, you need to get yourself to a respiratory specialist right away and have a sleep study done.

[@thesmartaspiranttsa5845]

Guiness world record, is around 18 minutes. Huge respect for his perseverance

[@Kaiofficial050]

I don’t have a full lung capacity but over half a year I’ve been able to get my breath hold from 26 seconds to 1 minute 52 seconds

[@torshhn2605]

Congrats

[@panos3320]

Wim Hoff breathing method is an easy one to get long times. My absolute peak is exactly 5 minutes. Though, its a thing that works better when doing the session, right and fully. Outside of it, i dont know if it has any lasting effects. Also trying some box breathing. Havent tested myself underwater, where it counts, but ill do at some point.

[@talkingbirb2808]

which app did you use?

[@Ericliaoo]

So close to your 4 minute goal. Are you going to keep on trying to do it ?

[@10klp]

Does anyone know if this could help for runners? Being able to have control of your breathing that much you’d think it helps with long runs in sustaining energy

[@closmasmas9080]

I’m not sure, but I think that having a good aerobic engine might make it easier to hold your breath? Idk

[@ibrahimahmed594]

Make a video regarding hair growth

[@HeadhunteRzz7um]

What is the song name at 7:37?

[@dugascuts]

Y’all know Cameron as Cam. I know Cam as “LadySpeedStikk”

[@ryanbumbalo]

Nice

[@josh-gf5ov]

would this translate over to actually swimming? like having to take less breaths when sprint swimming?

[@harley2166]

It would help but maybe not as much as you think. Sprinting is very anerobic based whereas this breath holding is very passive. To improve on your breathing for swimming(or lack there of) you want your body to be working the a similer condition, so forcing yourself to breath less often when training will have larger benifits than a passive breath hold

[@HamCUHC]

fun fact: you manually breathed while watching this video

[@monztermovies]

Love is like oxygen said SWEET.

[@MsIrrealis]

i can hold my breath for 2 min. But as soon as i am submerged in water i can only hold my breath for like 30 seconds.

[@gemlocker103]

My Best holding breathing was 2:30 on land and under cold water was 1:55, comment how much u got?(if u want) by the way its better if u breath in and out in medium speed in your nose or mouth 35 times then it will remove most of the carbon dioxide and let u be able to breath in much more oxygen without it I don't think I would be able to hold my breath that long, (by the way I was able to do this as a beginner).

[@joeyodonnell123]

No mouth breathing !!! Check out Patrick Mckeown and Oxygen Advantage

[@martinn081]

yessir

[@krishnakant9768]

He said 56 sec but in reality he hold his breath for barely 5 sec

[@closmasmas9080]

I find it easier to hold my breath underwater if I float

[@demonsnails]

0:28 Is no one going to talk about the fact that this man is wearning what seems like underwear outside his diving suit :/

[@epicfafnir]

Hi

[@AchrafBOUTAHIRI]

please menchen to people to not try this at home alone(risque of syncop and symba)

[@kashishgoel5791]

why?

[@Shoz3344]

Good video as always and amazing improvements. Just one little thing, I think you could have added a cigarette every now and then in your training for better improvements.

[@bozoldier]

why not just floating in the pool. mamalian dive reflex would help if you get yourself relaxed...

[@mateilicaret2904]

And this kids, is how you demonetize a video

[@YungYemen]

Do dmt for 30 days

[@paullee2481]

Day one: 37 secs.

[@SilverHawk214]

When I was 9 I could swim underwater for 100~ yards before coming up. now I can only do 35-40 yards.

[@cliffdariff74]

56 secs is a great start... but holding all that CO² ??? doesn't seem worth it

[@leenelson6078]

Just sit in the pool

[@_Bachi_]

Only watched your video training like Wim Hoff this week. Using his techniques you should have already been holding your breath for over 2 mins without effort from the start. Also why are you not using his methods to combat the cold in the water. Good effort all the same

[@Cuse330Ci]

You should never combine Wim Hof breathing with the freediving. By all means practice them separately but WH creates a real danger of blackout if you try to combine them.

[@_Bachi_]

@@Cuse330Ci you will black out if you hold your breath too long under any technique. Free divers notoriously black out and have to be revived in the water, some die.

[@Cuse330Ci]

@@_Bachi_ Yes, that is true, blackout is an inherent danger to any breath hold activity BUT Wim Hof breathing greatly increases the chance you will blackout during a dive if you do it immediately before the dive.

[@ibarix]

Did the same, my mom came in, thought I drowned and called the ambulance. :) jk

[@italiana626sc]

Paused it at the first mention of your sponsor. But I'm struggling to see what you were hoping to gain from this?? Runners and all athletes really don't want to reduce our oxygen intake. We want to maximize it. Unless you are aiming to race at altitude, I'm left wondering why you would undertake this.

[@StevieDahlen]

You must be a blast at parties. 👍🏼

[@wilmarrojas2899]

im so mad at the fact he wasted so much. water hope im wrong
