I recently attended the SFG weekend after training for about a year. Despite that amount of time, I still struggled with the snatch test. I was plenty strong, but it seemed that during every attempt I would run into a wall around 3.5 minutes where I felt like death was imminent. After failing the test at the cert, I came home and continued to train but still struggled.
Then, on a whim, I decided to try double breathing after remembering an SF article I read some time ago. Game changer. I don't know if it's that extra little bit of oxygen from what is admittedly a very small second breath, or maybe its just forcing me to regulate my breathing. But no more near-death experiences, and I passed the test soon thereafter.
So I'm curious, has anyone else experimented with double breathing, and what were your thoughts?
