i'm not talking about being able to blow air out of my mouth either mr. smartpants. i'm talking about holding my breath. and it ain't no lie.
Perhaps 5min isn't too far fetched for drapg. As I recall he runs everyday, and is as strict with his diet as anyone I've seen. That, and he has some weird oral fixation with Vincent Young. Oh yes, and he loathes fat people.
I farted in bed the other night and trapped my wife under the covers. She was there a good 3-4 minutes so 5 minutes is probably doable.
I can go two minutes when I practice it enough. I usually do it for fun in the summer when I go swimming everyday. Maybe I could hold it a little big longer if I moved less as well considering my body wouldn't burn up as much oxygen.
I think the surprising thing is that one can often hold his breath a lot longer than he'd like to. A friend told me about an exercise they did in training in the Navy where he had to stay at the bottom of a pool until he passed out. Then, they'd pull him out and revive him. He said it turned out he could hold his breath that way a lot longer than he thought possible.
Where in the Navy did they make them do this? While I was in the Navy, if they had told me to do this, I would told them to show me how to do it. Then I would have given them the finger, gone home, and eat a sandwich. That is the dumbest **** I have ever heard.
I swam in High School and some of the best swimmers could only hold their breath for 2-3 mins, tops. drapg, I'd love to see 5 mins. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you'd have to be in the .0001% of the population that could do that...hell, 5-6 mins in non-freezing water causes irreversable brain damage. It'd be interesting. Oh, the best I ever could do was 1:50. I wasn't a very dedicated swimmer .
Coma- 1:25, but sadly, this once ultra competitive x-country and track gal is now a social smoker (eeewww).
