1/2 Yesterday I started my 2022 season with a New World Record of 290m in dynamic apnea with bifins. I would like to thank everyone for their support, it is much appreciated. I have been freediving since late 2008. People who know me in real life, they know I basically live like a monk and I’m often the topic of jokes or some people accepted that and stopped joking. Fun fact, during the entire 6 years I worked at one company, there was only 1 day when I did not eat my own food brought from home and I ate plain rice with some veggies bought at a restaurant. Even my wife laughed at me that I could eat rice+lentils+grated apple and carrot for my entire life. I commited my whole life to training and discipline because nutrition combined with recovery is as important as training. Around 6yrs ago I started doing masterclasses, where I tried to teach my philosophy about training, nutrition and basically everyone thought I’m crazy living life like that. Yes I have been training and living like that my entire adult life and I plan to continue so because I love freediving. My biggest success was imprinting this philosophy in China which turned out in many great performances and the rise of @williamjoy0410 among few others. From females I helped @mirelakardasevic greatly, shaped her and in a few years the whole world will be surprised too (if they are not already by now). My question to the community is. Can you name one freediver who is actively freediving on a such high level like me in the pool and living like me for 13 years? I recommend reading Eric’s Fattah “Holistic Freediving”. He is right there. Freediving is like marathon training, long term adaptations are “long term”, if you don’t do it relentlessly for 10-20 yrs, you have no chance to beat people who do unless you are exceptionally talented. I’m complimented that my result is so far out of reach in front of others, that the only logical explanation to them is that I was somehow cheating. This is cruel because I have no way to defend myself other than performing doping control which I did or anything else that I am requested to do. TEXT CONTINUE IN COMMENTS
