And just stop when you're at 3 minutes with no oxygen, otherwise you could black out. If you're using a water tank or bag or something else to stop the breathing reflex, that can be extremely bad. Anyway, if you push 3, you must know this. You can cause serious tissue damage doing that. I went past 2:30 three times, and hit 3 once. Just today. I have a very sore throat, and my lungs have some cells killed off.
Lol, I know this is bad but I've done this more than a few times to pass time in class. I can hold it for 2 min without breathing hard. My records is 3:04. Be warned though, I passed out a few years back doing this.
Jeb, you've practiced a lot I can tell. I haven't practiced much, but I got over 3 minutes. I tried again recently, 3:13.
I blacked out.
I have some extreme lung pains, worse than when I got my cracked rib. So that goes to show, don't do it like every day, you will cause SERIOUS damage, and you can even do brain hemhorraging.
So someone on the internet asks you how long you can hold your breath and you risk serious brain damage to get a number that you could just make up anyways. Doesn't make too much sense. But you should probably video tape it so we can laugh at how retarded you look, I mean for proof.
