Static PB's

[Mr Black]

I'm just curious to find out what the PB's of fellow freedivers on the forums are.

I'm still relatively new to freediving, and I haven't done any statics for about a month (going to tonight ). I'm presently at 4:00 (not too extravagant).

I hate you........

I can't go any further that the "need for air" stage because I practice alone (lifegaurds at the pool are useless, hot, but inept)

6:32 ; but that was 3 years ago ..., need to find the motivation to start training again .

[Stalker]

I haven't tried very many times yet, so mine are: 2:33 at 0m (a few weeks ago) and 5:07 at 60m above sea level

(Did 4:05 at 0m in the pool today. Was hoping for at least 4:30, but next time... )

Great Avatar, Stalker.

I've given up with statics. Too dull, I'm afraid.

[TMcKee]

I just did my personal best of 3:45 last night. Who says training doesn't pay off? I WILL break 4:00 to 4:15 by the end of this year. I love this stuff!!!!

The fact that I started at 1:00 or so and that was near blackout stage. Dynamics...hell I couldn't do a 25m dynamic when I started. Now 50m is easy(relatively speaking). I bet I could push it and do 60 to 65m.

[unirdna]

5 min for me....did it last night.

Right in the heart of the bellcurve.....boy does that bring back memories of college .

[Walrus]

Well I'll put mine in too,

6:08

something I have to work on
Got to admit statics can be a bit boring so motivation is difficult.
Hey I like Eric's posts, looks like I've done a few reasonable exhale statics.....

I've done at least 2.30 or 2.40 on a full exhale. Longest negative static(ie full exhale on surface) was a bit over 2 minutes @ 3 meters. Backed off from doing negatives that long now, had a Samba once, totally didn't see it coming, wasn't even a long time.

Negatives can wierd like that, you feel like you can stay down forever, don't feel the urge to breath, well for me anyways.....

[Jersey Jim]

05:40 was only once (pb), but exceeded 5:15 quite a few times.
Has anyone ever used something like a ping pong ball or something bright that floats, and hold it in your hand while doing dynamics in a pool. At least the lifeguard could be warned ahead of time that if he/she sees the ball floating, there is a serious problem.

By the way, those apnea tables someone posted here, really work. I think I could break my P.B. with them, but never have enough time to work it up to 6 minutes. (can't wait!)
