Navy SEALs uses Pranayama

[Stormblood]

That's interesting. I also know the British Paras use hatha yoga and some of the former members of the selection committee at their Pegasus company highly recommend it as an integral, daily part of anyone's training plan. These people, such as former Major Sam McGrath are exceptional still in their 40s, with VO2 Max of 72, etc.

Now where have I read this meditation before

That's fascinating. That's close to elite athlete level. (I had to read up on it, I figured it had something to do with the lungs, but didn't know the term.)

But I don't know if this is tied into hatha yoga though. I read up on Sam McGrath and saw he is "an elite ultra-marathon athlete." Hehe

:lol: I thought about it when I saw it.

On the British Paratroopers, I had no idea that they did it.

Learning to breath correctly is the most important in many practices, above all everything water related. Swimmers and marines/navys alike do their own version of pranayama to raise their lung capacity in order to hold their breath and stay longer underwater.

So there are no misunderstandings. I'm laughing at myself and that I discovered he was an elite marathon runner. Not laughing at you or your idea here. I honestly don't know if this is tied into hatha yoga, I believe it's more tied into him being one of the youngest soldiers to reach the rank of major and an elite ultra-marathon athlete. Maybe that he is 40, and able to maintain that condition have something to do with hatha yoga. But I'm sort of scientific around that, so need more evidence to be sure. So it got a little bit messed up when I wrote it.

sounds familiar of a meditation

I think it's correlated to the holistic approach to training him and some people like him take. In his sample programmes, he puts hatha yoga: 12 poses immediately after warm-up and 6 in your cool-down. He also puts SMR with foam rollers a few times a week. I've never seen this with the Italian military and certainly the American military does not advertise anything like that.

That would indicate elite level genetics to begin with. Sure, yoga plays a role, but in this case he was born with superior capacity, and trained on top of that which results in that.

 

[High Priestess Lydia Coventina]

BKS Iyengar mentions this in his Light on Pranayama book, I'm pretty sure it was that one, as I have been doing it from one of his books for over a year. It can also be done in 8's or 16's, depending on your breath capacity. You can also think "Sa-Ta-Na-Ma" instead of the counting, that's how I do it.

Fitness is 50% genetics, 50% lifestyle for NPCs, meaning anyway can double their genetic makeup through an appropriate lifestyle. Unfortunately, most people live a sedentary lifestyle because of enemy brainwashing and unsupportive technological development. If they'll have 36 VO2 Max in their 40s, they'll be lucky.

Satanama Dharma pushes limits further for those who practice it properly. So, yes, asanas do improve it limitedly for those who do only those (more than for people who just stretch irregularly and do not even bother with SMR and other recovery techniques, which is the majority). For us Zevism, applying the full limbs of yoga can take us to a whole different level of fitness. I would not be surprised if some of us kept 80-90 VO2 Max intact in their 60s. The world record is 97.5 for males and 78.5 for females. That is, if we schedule both our physical and spiritual advancement properly, instead of over-focusing on either or half-assing fitness because some do it just for "health reasons" instead of performance. Not everyone will want or be meant to do that, I know.

The stronger the body, the stronger the soul it harbours. It's no wonder athletes are considered the most attractive by most people: it's because their level of physical fitness impact them spiritually as well, giving them stronger auras, better energy flow and cleaner energies, compared to couch potatoes who just feel terrible energy-wise and very weak.

Genetics can be improved upon because yoga changes how genes express. It can also edit genes, activate them or deactivate them.

I hope this did not come off as abrasive. I just wanted to explain in full the reasoning.

I just day or two ago watched a video where a cyclist did a vo2max lab test, and the doc explained the ratio to be 70% genetics and 30% training. Would you say this is off by 20%? I was actually somewhat surprised it to be that much and now you propose it to be 50/50. When I begun my athletic pursuits 4.5 years ago I had no idea almost of anything, yet alone of this rather high value of training effect.

Oh yeah. I probably undererstimate the physical effectiveness of our efforts.

My estimated vo2max is around 63-65 at the moment. I think that alone is pretty good for a former smoker, but I'm not satisfied. I've been wondering how high can I elevate it... I have this idea of 80-something as a capped value for me.

I hope this did not come off as abrasive. I just wanted to explain in full the reasoning.

No, man. It's all good.

Are you an athlete as well?

 

[Stormblood]

...

I wonder really if it's not the opposite 70 training and 30 genetics, when it comes to us. Or it's still 50/50 and it's just our genetic potential being activated to higher degrees. The debate nature vs nurture has been going on for a long time and I am no closer at reaching an answer as studies nowadays may contradict each other, because certain lines of thoughts are never explored because of cultural marxism. They are thought to be racist/unfair/whatever.

I highly doubt that until Zevism researchers can do their job unhindered, we will have definite results on the human potential. It is my opinion that we're currently in a very weakened condition because of centuries of enemy curses and adaptation to them.

I would not define myself as an athlete. I do keep myself in shape and strive ever higher. I'm also incorporating iron shirt to reinforce joints overall to the point I may never suffer from the issues old and middle-aged people suffer from. And I will report my results when I reach a good level.

Currently my VO2 Max is less than yours because I was on medical leave a short time ago and I'm still gaining back my strength but it's still in the optimal range. I think the record for male athletes is slightly lower than 90. It's usually people involved with running or even triathlon. I'm not particularly fond of running, if I have to be honest, but I still do it.

So you are an athlete? I like reading your posts.

Interesting. You are right about our lackluster level. In time it shall be fixed among other things.

The iron shirt... So basically weighted clothing. You know that reminded me of Dragon Ball Z, as the characters used weighted clothing for training. Never heard about that in real life though. Now I'm interested also.

About the vo2max. I remembered the world highest to be 90+ so I searched, and found this: https://www.topendsports.com/testing/records/vo2max.htm

Most are cyclists and skiers. Some runners also. I would say (partially joking) that cycling is the worlds toughest endurance sport. Imagine Tour De France, 3 weeks straight with only a handful of "easy" days. So called easy days are hard for anyone other than high level athlete. Skiing is pretty hard too, but nothing beats cycling. I know, I'm biased.

I don't much like running either. I have done some running in the past, but not so much past two years. However sometimes I do walk on recovery days.

You could call me an athlete. Not world class, but very fit anyway. Likewise about your posts.

Iron shirt is a form of qigong that packs energy in your fasciae in order to protect your organs, joints, muscles and bones. It is not literal. Mantak Chia has some books about it. From what I read until now, the basics are about the bellows breath and directing the energy into the specific parts of the body to clean them and strengthen them, then collect the energy back into the manipura chakra.

Right. That's the one I had seen as well. I stand corrected.

I never tried skiing nor snowboarding. They are on my list. I'd have to say that I do not like anything too repetitive, so all triathlon sports are a bit boring for me. Interval training is the only way to make me like any of those sports, because it's intoxicating. I'm more the explosive type. Neurotype 1B. Ever heard of neurotypes? They are based on neurotransmitters: GABA, acetylcholine, noradrenaline and dopamine, serotonin. Just don't mind the personality descriptions. They are a bit one-size-fits-all, unlike astrology.

"Fun" is also why I like gymnastics and trampolining and not weight-lifting or bodybuilding.

Anyway, maybe we can open a new topic to discuss further? I feel like the direction this thread was supposed to go was more on exploring military elite units who incorporate spiritual practices in their training. I'm also available via email sometimes.

Hello Stormblood, do you have any tips or books to start some military training and to prepare for some exams?

I emailed you but, if that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to copy my reply and/or reply here or make a specific thread. Just a note that I'm not old/influential enough to give any secret advice.

Ah, you mean THAT iron shirt. Well, that sounds good. How long have you been doing it?

If snowboarding is on your list, be sure to consider downhill biking or enduro biking for the summer season. It's a rush!

I've heard about "being neurotypical", but that's about it. So basically I have to learn more about this subject.

After some moments of reading, I think I'm a blend of 2B and 3. Makes the most sense to me.

I know we derailed, but if you want another thread then create one!
