I also found the training schedule above at this link
How to hold your breath for 5 minutes in 1 month – Freediving training
Do you use any apps or a similar scheme?
Thanks

I used to do static tables I learned from my FII (Freediving Instructors International) courses until I made them dynamic with the help of an instructor. IMO they work better since you're actually moving and using O2/producing CO2 just like in real diving.

I found this static tables that seem to come up together with a specific Ios (or android) app, which is an advantage

May I ask how you transformed the static exercises into dynamic ?

Swim while doing the tables instead of staying still. Not exactly a direct conversion but I reckon you can also walk if you want to do them dry.

I asked my instructor why they don’t encourage us to do dry training. He said dry training is mostly meant to learn ‘how to suffer’, that is how to control the lack of air and the sensation it gives. While at a beginner level it’s better to learn relaxation and to remain in a comfort zone. But also for advanced freedivers for him dry training is mostly useful for those who want to do freediving at a competitive level. Anyway he said I can do that if I like

I do not see any mention at all of Shallow Water Blackout, which can kill a breath-hold diver. Do not do these "Tables" in the water. If you must, try them on dry land only.

Anyway the power of training in this sport is incredible. There is a girl an instructor who can do very easily 120 meters (393,701 feet) holding the breath during pool training sessions. I would say her lung capacity is 50% mine...

I think 120 meters is 394 feet. You've got to watch the decimal point.
