I'm in the pool doing 8 sets of 75 meters once or twice a week (depending on whether we freedive in the ocean on weekends). I start getting the urge to breathe at about 60 meters. At that point I say to myself "good, this is where I want to be; by training like this, until I feel this need to breathe, until my lungs start burning, I am installing a safety margin into my body for when I'm out spearfishing"

Telling myself that helps me push through. Just before I hit 75 meters I get my first real contraction.

Sometimes I'll turn at 75 meters and head toward 100. I never make it. The anxiety is too great. I have no understanding of how to push through how I'm feeling and take it out to 100 meters.

I'd really like to be doing at least two sets of 100 in addition to my 8 sets of 75. Can anyone offer any advice? ]]> anthropisces http://forums.deeperblue.com/static-dynamic/94941-moving-past-75-meters.html http://forums.deeperblue.com/static-dynamic/94941-moving-past-75-meters.html http://feeds.deeperblue.com/~r/deeperblue-forums/~3/P0pMi-lZWjw/94940-spearos-word-team.html Wed, 16 May 2012 20:30:37 GMT Spearos and the word TEAM...
ive noticed that we all like calling ourselves a team as of lately. Fat chicks have frozen yoghurt, and we have teams.

why use the word "team"?. its not like you guys are competing against other "team"s. just an observation really, but it seems like the latest trend when two or more guys get together in the pursuit of the same activity, y'all decide to call yourselves a "team". why not "group" or, some other word.

To be honest i find this annoying, because the word "team" has a competitive connotation, implying that its my "team" vs. your "team" and we're competing to see who can get the most fish, or the biggest fish, where really we should be competing to see who can spearfish in the most ecologically friendly way.

Also, we can agree that all of us share a common interest which is spearfishing. Now when you play for a certain "team" one day, you cant get on a different boat the next day and play with a different team. which really restricts the number of people that you can enjoy this hobby with.

I understand our need to feel special, to feel exclusive. But if you always dive with the same guys, there is only so much you can learn. One of the things that i have enjoyed the most about spearfishing is the many little tips and tricks that i have come to learn from different people ive been able to dive with over the years.

I dont like the word "team" :P

i just found an interesting article on italian FIPSAS about a tv-interview/report about Alessia Zecchini, a young and talented freediver from italy:

OGGI LA FIPSAS A "MATTINA SPORT" SU RAISPORT 1 > Portale FIPSAS.it > News AS

The Video itself is available here:
Rai Sport Multimedia - Diretta

But outside Italy its not available, can someone from italy (or with an italian IP adress) PLEASE capture the video and bring it to download?!

Thanks a lot,

best regards! ]]> General Freediving kathachen91 http://forums.deeperblue.com/general-freediving/94936-video-about-freediver-alessia-zecchini-rai-italy.html http://forums.deeperblue.com/general-freediving/94936-video-about-freediver-alessia-zecchini-rai-italy.html http://feeds.deeperblue.com/~r/deeperblue-forums/~3/5-7C-M3J6co/94935-make-your-own-neckweight.html Wed, 16 May 2012 11:20:25 GMT Hi! I will start to do dynamics but can't find any neckweights here in Gothenburg. Think I will make my own. - bicycle tube with lead pieces..would that work?
- Does anyone know a construction that worked well? I guess its important to be able to add and redraw small pieces of weight to find the perfect neutral bouyance? ]]> arvid77 http://forums.deeperblue.com/static-dynamic/94935-make-your-own-neckweight.html http://forums.deeperblue.com/static-dynamic/94935-make-your-own-neckweight.html http://feeds.deeperblue.com/~r/deeperblue-forums/~3/Ani3oYiKcPA/94934-greetings-all.html Wed, 16 May 2012 10:25:01 GMT >)))))•>]]> Hi
