I have a question regarding bodytypes and diving.
As from what I can understand the "maraton-runner" type physique is ideal for freediving(correct me if I am wrong).
This has worried me alot since I have always had a quite muscular body, and after 10 years of natural bodybuilding I have put on a few more pounds of "beef". From what I can understand there has been at least one big-bodied proffessional freediver there (thinking of Enzo as I have understood that he was big).
Can you encourage me with telling me that there are other "sprintertype" freedivers out there who has recieved remarkable results under water?
(or am I doomed because of my bodytype?)
For the reckord im not "huge" but rather have the same kind of physique as a typical sprinter (176cm:s tall and 90kg:s heavy aproximate 10% bodyfat)
Would it improve my diving if I lost a few pounds of muscle? (what I mean by "improving" is mainly to increase my ability to stay under water)
As a complete rookie I would love to hear what you have to say about this...
