How long can you hold your breath?

I’m for some reason trying to get better at holding my breath in the last week. I’m remarkably inconsistent. I have gotten up to 1:02
32

Much longer than 1:02 fat boy…

If you want to hold your breath for longer, hyperventilate beforehand and try thinking of French fries while you’re holding your breath. I picked up that tip as a kid and it sounds weird but it works, I suppose because it takes your mind off the fact that you’re holding your breath.

The think that has helped is take a big breath (say 90%) and then a second later pull in that last 10%.
I don’t know how dedicated I am in my boredom to force myself to hyperventilate lol

I can hold my breath until I turn blue
And I will too, if you don't get me a candy bar

One time I did it until I died.

When I was a MCIWS, I'd imagine 2-3 minutes. I'd imagine closer to 1-2 now as I'm a decade older and fatter/out of shape.

Until someone lets me up from under the water.
Or not.

Not long but watch Rob Arrington of YouTube Deermeat for Dinner sometime. He and his brothers can hold their breath forever. They do a lot of diving.

Been a while since I trained it but used to be able to hold it for close to 4 minutes out of the water.
If you practice every day your time increases crazy quick. It is mostly about learning to relax and ignore your brain telling you that youre about to die.

In my former job, I was fortunate to interact with new Navy Seal medics that were in the Paramedic portion of their training.
While training with respiratory equipment, capnography, which monitors your breathing rate, oxygenation, carbon dioxide exchange, etc., these guys were routinely holding their breaths for 5-6 minutes.

I dunno. But I spent a few hours in the ER Sat to find out I have GERD. Of course the hooked me up to the machine that measured bp, heart rate, pulse ox and respirations. After a while, I was so bored I started alternating breathing rapidly and holding my breath to see if I could get it to alarm. My wife laughed at my bordem but thought it wasn't funny thar I was going to possibly worry the docs and nurses unnecessarily.
But what else was I going to do, watch world cup soccer?

1:12 the first time. After a little practice it's up to 1:41. I can probably hit 2:00 without much trouble.
Protip: don't watch the clock. Get your mind on something else.

The guy that holds the world record breathed pure oxygen for about 10 minutes to hyper saturate his blood. Then he was able to hold his breath for 29 minutes 3 seconds. That’s pretty crazy.
