If so, do you find it beneficial and is it compatible with the Strong First system?
Ying and Yang!I have found Buteyko to be compatible and complementary to Strongfirst principles. I dont think there is much overlap between the both, since Buteyko is mostly practiced in relaxed state, but they are certainly compatible.
A quick question about the breathing technique, I understand the breaths are supposed to be light but how is light defined in terms of how many seconds you would inhale and exhale for?@Gaz I have done the Advanced Buteyko course and I´m very happy with the results, health wise.

I dont think there is much overlap between the both, since Buteyko is mostly practiced in relaxed state, but they are certainly compatible. The most significant carryover I have noted from Buteyko to training is that my breathing is always nasal and significantly calmer after a set of swings, which is very good IMO. I havent tried lately the breathing technique suggested by Pavel in S&S, where he recommends only 5 breaths during rest between sets, but I think Buteyko will help achieve that more easily.
I´ll share with you how I do it, but please bear in mind that this is completely personal and other folks do it differently.A quick question about the breathing technique, I understand the breaths are supposed to be light but how is light defined in terms of how many seconds you would inhale and exhale for?
Thanks for your help guys. I will try to learn more. I think it’s the whole air hunger concept I’m struggling with, it seems contrary to all I’ve understood about
good breathing.
I second this. I struggled to improve my CP from 15 to 25 working on my own, and then improved to about 65 working with an instructor in less than a month.Yes. This is what instructors are for.
