Which one is better? Breath hold on inhale, or exhale? The answer is; it really depends. The main goal of the challenge is to build CO₂ tolerance. This may not be easy, or comfortable, at first (it's a challenge, after all). But stick to it; and you'll notice a sense of being in control; even when the going gets tough. Remember... 𝘾𝙊₂ 𝙏𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 - Most discomfort isn’t from lack of oxygen but from rising CO₂. - The goal isn’t to fight that feeling, but to get comfortable with it. - Over time your body and mind learn that the first urge to breathe isn’t an emergency.

𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Fill up your lungs to about 70% of maximum capacity; or until you feel comfortable. Inhale fully; and gently release some air until the pressure on your chest feels more manageable. Until you hold your breath for 3-4 minutes or longer; the duration of the hold is going to be purely determined by your ability to stay calm; and the extra inhaled air does not offset the discomfort in the chest.
