i think hes dead ;~;




1 minute and 3 seconds

I went 1 minute and 25 seconds first try. I always expect to be the worst in these physical challenges and get pleasantly surprised every time.

second try was 1:51 I must've not been trying that hard the first time. I am pretty try-hard though I plugged my nose and my body started trying to suck in air through my closed mouth on it's own because I was trying so hard lol.

i have asthma so i can hardly hold my breath without me feeling like i'm about to black out

it's been 10 minutes

fun fact - you cannot die from holding your breath, as you will simply black out and automatically will start breathing again, whether you're mentally conscious or not.

This is true. When you are drowning and you try to hold your breath your body will literally force you to breath, and thats when you drown.


I was wonder how long because I was wondering that, since I was born premature, if I have small lungs and possibly thats why I get gassed when wrestling a few matches in a row, but it might just be my breathing/muscle endurance. But it doesnt make sense because I timed my father and he only got 30 or so seconds but he can run 15 miles like its nothing.

I have stuff lungs. Didn't make it to 30 seconds. I hope this isn't hereditary.

I think this is more like willpower than actual endurance. I can hold my breath longer than you because I can fight the voice in my head telling me to breath for a lot longer than you can. If we both were put in an air-tight container we'd probably die around similar times excluding if one of us panics more than the other.

I cannot break 1:20

Feels like my stomach starts to beat then I start shaking. I'm determined to reach 2 minutes
