I really cba trying it just now but I once managed 1:03. By that point my vision was actually going cloudy and I was very light headed. I think I was pretty close to passing out.

WOW. I completely surprised myself there! After my first post I thought "fuck it, why not?" so I prepared myself, took a deep breath, started my watch and expected to last about 30 seconds. But I read the replies to 2 or 3 topics, replied to 1, and then came back to this one and made that post (It was 1:40 when I was writing the time and hit post. By that point I was getting desperate but was determined to make it to 1:50. The last 2 seconds nearly killed me, lol.
I’m well fucking impressed with myself!

I made it to 1:34 on my first try. If I was standing and really taking deep breaths for a few minutes before trying to hold my breath I could probably last somewhere around 2:45.

I spent maybe 20-30 seconds taking deep, deep breaths, forcing every last little bit of spent air out of my lungs and then taking in as much fresh sweet air as I could, doing this a few times so that my blood-stream was well oxygenated. Not so fast that I was out of breath, but steady and controlled. Then with my last breath in I took as much air as I could and then just held it. I tried to not pay attention to how long I was doing so that time wouldn’t seem to drag on so much. I was surprised to look down and see 1:25 on the watch and realise that I was still able to keep going!
I agree with CTD that if I was standing to allow more air, and spent longer oxygenating my body, I could have lasted a bit longer, though I don’t know how long. Mine was a bit of a half arsed attemt as, like I said, I didn’t think I’d make it much past 30 seconds!
I learned the techniques I used in a book which briefly detailed the technique of a Polynesian skin diver as part of the story. It really does make a difference.

I took my dog out so he could shit and tried to do it again. I made it to 2:07 while I was standing outside. And yeah, I do smoke but have only done so for the past couple months. I haven’t really seen any adverse effects as far as my lung capacity goes.

That’s because you don’t smoke or play a woodwind/brass instrument.

How does smoking make one able to hold their breath longer? It seems to me that it should make oxygen retention worse.
Oh wait, it would slow down the absorbtion in the lungs, so that it would last you longer?
But wouldn’t CO2 still build up in your blood and cause your brain to make you want to breathe?

I think the last time I timed how long I could hold my breath was in the fifth grade, and I made it to 53 seconds. I don’t think I’m even going to try it. I hate having to hold my breath..
