Diving workout

[freedivernd]

I picked up a BCI digit oximeter off e-bay...not sure if you can still get them there or not :-\ I'll tell you the price if you don't tell my wife.. it was pushing the $350 mark. It is interesting to watch the numbers. Something I am curious about now is that when I do empty statics, in no time at all my h.r. drops to low 30's - upper 20's, no matter what it was to begin with.. sa02 drops to low 70's, but when I do full lung statics, I'm totally contracting and fighting to get my sa02 down to the low 90's or high 80's and my h.r. much below 40. (I might mention that it only works dry, not under the water, but I can check myself at the end of dynamic) One thing that tells me is that it is a lot healthier to be doing full lung statics, but for oxygen depletion training (if there is such a thing) is best done on empty lung statics. Another thing it tells me is that full lung statics are better training for co2 tolerance. Next thing on the list.. a co2 monitor.
Well, it's interesting anyway.
