Hey everyone, first post for me haha and as the title says, tell us how long you are able to hold pure air in your lungs... Try to beat my 1 min 35 sec....
When I wasn't able to smoke, and had all the free time in the world, I hit 3 minutes flat as a record. Probably couldn't break 1 minute now.
Online Stopwatch For those who could use one. Pathetic tonight: 1 minute and 9 seconds. I'm definitely going to have to work on training my lungs, because what the hell is the point in quitting smoking if you can't hold your breath longer than a bunch of smokers and say, 'Ha, told you so.' I ask you, what?!
The trick is to slow your heart rate. Excluding capacity, I don't know if your lungs have much to do with holding your breath, and I don't know if it's possible to train for an increased lung capacity.
1:25 damn was so close too haha edit: man I haven't done this in years, was pretty fun haha lasted much longer than I though. didn't think I would make it past durchii
Hey, at least you guys get to have Nitrogen Narcosis every once in a while... what do us landlubbers get? Screwed, that's what.
I never want to experience NN. All of the stories I have heard, and just everything about it seems unpleasant. The only reason I could think that I may encounter this is thinking about my future career as a Commercial Diver and being deep in the ocean at work, Some shark comes at me and I got to get the fuck out of there. Swimming for the surface, running out of air, my only savior being the air above me. Wow wtf am i talking about..
1:30 Dam i used to be able to do over 3 mins. I was in the pool a lot as a kid and used to train to hold my breath for long periods of time. I guess smoking has taken it's effect.
Surprisingly I found it easier to get better times when I didn't watch the clock. Maybe its got something to do with perceived anxiety levels but idk This happening to anyone else? edit: i know someone who can barely hold it for 25 seconds so no reason to feel bad haha
