I can do 3:30 and I even submitted a short film about it to a local film festival. People still thought I cheated somehow. Everybody should be able to do 1:30 with some minor training. With extensive training 6m should be doable
Thank you for not choosing 50 seconds because 40 about killed me, and I am very stubborn.

Yes, it’s crucial in fact.
I remember reading about it, but care to explain simply why it helps?

The purpose of 40 seconds is for most people to feel accomplished so they are incentivised to sign up. This is a landing page for an upcoming app.
Thank you for checking it out. You are right, we are working on something to make us healthy in the most easy way.
Is 40 seconds... challenging for people? Sorry, I don't know, maybe this comes off as entitled. I'm 33, a SWE that sits at a computer 8hrs/day for work and then another 4hrs/day for play. I absolutely could not run five miles, but I do go for walks. I've smoked weed on and off for over a decade. This website was absolutely trivial for me to accomplish with zero prep. I wasn't even concerned about my ability when I st…

Frequency is the determinant variable, on and off over a decade is too open ended to be relevant.
I agree I could've been more clear. Less than an ounce of weed per month for five years. Then an ounce of weed per month, every month, for another 5 years. Two six month breaks. One three month break. Coughing up black stuff from my lungs wasn't unheard of. I had genuine concern about the damage I was doing to my lungs and brain, so I started trying to quit more seriously about two years ago. Two of the six month bre…
At least switch to a vaporiser if you dont quit completely.

Not an expert but my basic understanding is that the hyperventilating before holding your breath basically oxygenates your blood so that you can hold for longer.

No it's not, unless hyperventilating on pure oxygen (it's ridiculous that this is allowed in competition). I used to be a medical instructor for AIDA (now retired). Anything above 5 minutes is not simply a matter of training. One can put years into apnea walks and breath tables and never approach six minutes. Genetics (lung volume) and the body's ability to cope with increased CO2 levels are the critical factors.
