I'm not a diver (I don't even like swimming all that much) but I've learned about all the other benefits of increasing my CO2 tolerance and this video was very helpful. My girlfriend actually has some interest in free-diving since it has become popular in her country. I am going to be practicing my tables anyway for health benefits but it might make for a funny "surprise" down the road if she decides to get involved in free-diving. Thanks for the video!

[@gertleroy]

Great to see this video is of value for non freedivers! Enjoy the breathholding 👍

[@mimoosa7390]

What differences have you been feeling after doing these tables almost every day

[@JohnDoe-id5ih]

Hellom have you seen improvements?

[@alexfinn7989]

Great video. Doing these dynamic sessions really helped improve my free diving. Not only the CO2 tolerance and general physical conditioning, but finning technique and learning to keep mind & body relaxed when feeling terrible was a huge benefit.

[@gertleroy]

that's exactly the benefit of co2 tables. people think it's about co2, and off course it is, but it's more about you swimming laps and getting overall better in everything. The tables are merely a structure to get you going. peace !

[@fawadhussain5340]

Hello Sir I hope you are doing well all your videos are very instructive so I am very thankful to you sir I just want to know from you that this CO2 table training videos you made. Yes, how many times it should be applied in a week or in a month pls sir answer me

[@costasmarangos8117]

Hi.. Excellent video! What Co2 training can I do with a static bicycle that I have at home. Can you recommend something? Thanks

[@gertleroy]

Hi Costas I don't have experience with a static bike, but you can treat is a apnea walking. Please watch my video HOW TO APNEA WALK. If you understand the principles just apply it to the bike ✌️

Sir this training will be easy in spearfishing from CO2 also I mean it will guide in spearfishing breathhold also please sir answer me

[@makmak5726]

what are the respiratory problems u can get if u overdo co2 tables and how to know that u already have a respiratory problem

[@gertleroy]

i don't see what resp problems you can get from co2 tables. what you can get is overtraining, loss of motivation and eventually getting sick if you do too much of it. If you think you have a respiratory condition you should see a doctor. cheers

[@richmelvin4213]

Hey Gert great vid! Im wondering when is best to train O2 levels? Im a novice beginner and there is a lot of conflicting info out there on using co2 and o2 tables! Thank you

[@gertleroy]

hi Rich, for most people and especially beginners the limiting factor is usually co2 tolerance, and not hypoxia (low levels of oxygen). So focus on co2 training, which is basically any kind of training with repetitive dives. Forget about O2 training for at least the next 2 years :-) Cheers :-)

[@richmelvin4213]

@@gertleroy legend!! Thank you man

[@gertleroy]

@@richmelvin4213 that's what i do man haha

[@chrisz.9974]

So if you’re increasing your time, are you also increasing your time under water? ie; 1 minute would be 30 seconds under water and 30 second rest. 1:30 would be 45 under, 45 rest?

[@gertleroy]

it doesn't matter. only total time matters. find your rhythm. that being said, if you need 45 seconds to complete a 25m lap, then you need to work on your technique and stop doing these tables. you need to learn how to swim underwater first.

[@derciopinto9350]

Hi good video, but how many times per week should I train it to see the improve ?

[@gertleroy]

hi Dercio! well.. if you have access to a pool and you don't do open water diving, then i'd say a couple of times per week is fine. don't over do it. Especially when you do hard CO2 tables your body needs to recover. Also, you might wanna mix it up with other types of training like technique, or going to the gym, or maybe a static session. Enjoy! :-)

[@derciopinto9350]

Gert Leroy - Master Freediving thnx for the tips, but I would like 2 now how many times, and can I do it like 3 times a week?? And how repetition should I do???? Please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@gertleroy]

@@derciopinto9350 all depends on your level. There are no blueprint answers. Every athlete has to be looked at individually. Like i suggested in the video, start doing 10 laps with 1' interval (Bifins). Evaluate. Was it easy or hard? From there you adjust for the next session. Yes you can do 3 times Co2 tol training per week. I will make new video with examples of Co2 tol tables. Thanks for asking and stay tuned ✌️

[@derciopinto9350]

Gert Leroy - Master Freediving ok thnx 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@gertleroy]

Please also watch my video "How to write your own freediving training program" you might find some answers there

[@diego1590]

How often should we do it?

[@gertleroy]

impossible to answer that question but less is more. Dont go crazy on how much, in stead focus on how you feel, technique, an overall enjoyment. Those things are way more important !

[@plantoso64]

how many time or repetitions per table? or how many times in the day ?

[@gertleroy]

search for my video How Often Should You Do Co2 Tolerance Tables?

[@gertleroy]

@@plantoso64 no you didn't see it. search for it. it's one of my last videos like the 10th last one or something

[@DeltaThreeOne]

No matter how much ur panicking to breathe, can u just continuing to tell urself to shut up? I start thinking holy crap I gotta breathe and it feels like alarms going off in my head. I only surface because idk if itll affect me if I just ignore it. Like could I just keep going even if I feel like I cant hold it anymore?

[@DeltaThreeOne]

Ive done that with running. I have a Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome, so in order for me to perform equally to others, I have to train so much harder. That means with something like running, I FORCE myself to breathe normally even if that means im woozy or anything. It helps, my mind is screaming to breathe, but I dont let it. That ok?

[@gertleroy]

Always dive with a buddy. In case you black out this person can save your life. Go gradually. Step by step. Learn to understand your busy signals.

[@scso]

How long does it take to hold breath from 1 min to 2 min roughly asking

[@gertleroy]

impossible to say and depends totally on the person.

25 meters no even whit rock to my neck I probably get stuck in a branch before I get to the bottom

I just started my co2 training im my bathtub i can barley hold in 10 second do i just surpass my limits?

no. you stop what you are doing and you watch my 2minute breathhold video. and all my other videos. peace 🙏

[@victorcercasin]

Dumb question: the 25m swim is supposed to be without breathing?

[@gertleroy]

yes we're talking freediving so no breathing.

[@victorcercasin]

@@gertleroy that's pretty tough... I can do it once and I'm dying. Need to practice a lot!

[@lyntonhowes5154]

Good information BUT I don't believe it was mentioned once the criticality of doing this with a trained buddy to minimise the risk of death.

[@gertleroy]

correct. I assume whoever is at this advanced stage of freediving doesnt need any disclaimers anymore. but youre right

[@lyntonhowes5154]

@@gertleroy thank you. Judging by the comments, many are beginners. A disclaimer could well save a life.

[@gertleroy]

@@lyntonhowes5154 I understand your reasoning, but a disclaimer is not gonna stop people from doing what they do. People who freedive alone know very well what are the risks. they do it anyway. it's not the responsibility of the video maker, it's the responsibility of the diver. 🙏

@@gertleroy you have a legal and ethical responsibility, if you are teaching something, to teach it in a safe manner. Yes people may ignore your advice, but they cannot take your advice if you don't give it. I rest my case.

Does Co2 build up present any potential danger to your lungs?
