So far, I haven't taken Pavel up on the recommendation to implement the nasal breathing and breath timing concepts into my practice of S&S. In fact, I do just the opposite. After each set of swings, I gulp air like my life depends on it. Since Pavel recommends it, it makes sense for me to do it. However, I think that I would have to, at least at first, reduce the overall intensity of my swing practice. Since I am doing sets of 10, the only two ways I could do that is by either going to a smaller kettlebell, or taking longer rest periods between sets. The goal would be to eventually increase the intensity while still implementing breath timing. I would like to hear how some of you were able to transition from gulping air after sets of swings to nasal breathing utilizing the breath timing technique described in S&S. Did you have to initially reduce exercise intensity at first? After a period of adjustment, can a person increase the intensity back up?
