Best frenzel tutorial so far !! great job Adam. Most professional FREEdivers are becoming more and more "comercial divers" and they don't really like to reveal tips and tricks unless it's a paid course. Passion is to be shared not be sold ! thanks a lot Adam, I have never ever seen such a beautiful frenzel tutorial... We are waiting for a Hands Free Equalization tutorial :)) thanks

Can't wait to test it underwater! I've watched this multiple times, trying along, and each time I got closer to making it. Now I can do it nearly any time I want. I'll keep exercising until I can go diving. Thanks a lot for this!

Don't know if you read comments on a 2-year-old video, but in case you do, Thank You! After reading one book, taking a freediving course, reading numerous articles, and watching several KZread videos I was still struggling to Frenzel. After just 2 days of performing the exercises in this video, I finally was able to Frenzel successfully. I am elated and wanted to try and share my good news with you and the community.

It's crazy, I literally tried it as you were speaking and managed to do it straight away. The way you worded it is so easy to understand and follow, it just felt natural. Thankyou my friend!

Awesome work Adam. I have learned Frenzel by watching your tutorial last year. Every time I dive, I think about you, mate! Thank you so much for all your hard work and willingness to help and educate people like myself.

this video is fantastic! Adam, you are a great teacher. 7 years of struggling with Frenzel and I finally understand what I need to be doing, and got my first successful Frenzel equalization on land just watching this. Thank you, so much!

I find myself back here. As I begin training again :) Such a great bunch of progressions!

Hi Adam! I want to thank you for this tutorial. I'm a beginner freediver and I had a hard time equalizing. After months of doing your exercises, I can now EFFORTLESSLY equalize ❤️ Thank you so much ❤️

I did my first Frenzel with this video, thanks a lot. The exercise with the tongue out and K sound, vocal cords closed and I did it, wow.

Wow, so thankful for this video! I've been working through a freediving Zero to Hero program with the goal of being an instructor, and this has been incredibly helpful! I spent an entire season working as a divemaster, and there is a stark difference between equalizing as a scuba diver vs. equalizing as a freediver. I've also been vlogging about my experiences in working through the challenges and successes of becoming a more skilled freediver, and your vlog provides me a lot of inspiration. Thank you!

Adam you are a great teacher! Keep up the good work with the videos, they are much appreciated

Hi Adam, I have learned a lot by watching your videos during my journey, from zero to becoming a freedive instructor. I have a student who are not able to frensel, she turns around every time to push up air from her abdominal to equalize. On our SSI level 1 course in Crete last week, I tried to work with her, and her equalization technique. 'Glottis' exercises, EQ tool exercises, and with the two exercises you mentioned. She has been on a Padi level 1 course before in indonesia. So ofcourse its frustrating for her, that she's not able to make it work, on her second Level 1 course. I tried to calm her, and to make her have patience during our course. On the last days session in our freediving week, I just wanted her to have fun, and use her old technique, and she did all the SSI Level 1 exercises on the line. On her last dive she went down to 24 meters, which means she is very confident in the water, and have a strong breath hold. But its like she tenses up in all her muschles when trying to frenzel correctly, from all the tension built up by frustration, of not being able to frenzel properly. From the baloon exercises, it seems like, she is able to controll her soft palate and her glottis. But she is not able to push up air with her tongue on land. Do you have some other exercises, for training movement of the tongue? I really dont want her to give op on freediving. Im planning to make a dry training program for her, so she hopefully will become a happy freediver:-)

Adam, I just started with freediving, had two session of deep dive and struggle so much with the frenzel, is like nothing was happenning whenever I was upsidedown. Can't wait to put into practice all your advices!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

This is so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips!

I started freediving a month or so ago and I’ve been having trouble equalizing and can hardly get past 15 ft without extreme ear pain, but I just did this successfully while watching this video, and will practice in the water in a few days. This is a GREAT video and the first time I’ve really understood this method! I’ll be doing these exercises all week! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial Adam! 🙏🏽 Although I still need to practice, because I just got into freediving, realizing I was trying to push the air from my lungs to equalize, what did work out in most cases up to a depth of 5m. But every time I tried to go deeper (than 5m) it turns out impossible for me to equalize, and the pain made me to ascend again. So I hope practicing with this tutorial will do the trick 👍🏽

Thanks! Great tutorial!!! You are a natural teacher!

Hey Adam! Awesome video and really helpful. I did learn how to Frenzel equalize while watching it. I did that while sitting upright. Now, I tried it upside down, but I felt that either I dont get the same equalization level as when upright, or feel no "push" pressure at all on my mid ear. How do I improve that when upside down? Is there something I could possibly be doing wrong if it's working while upright but not when upside down?

I just started diving and can go down to 8.5 but I watched the tutorial and I can go all the way to 10 thank you 😊

Well done, You've just created the best video tutorial there is on frenzel. I especially like how you mentioned the different tongue positions. My problem is that by the time I get to 20m I feel like there's a vacuum in my mouth and nothing left to eq with. Do you think a change in tongue position will help this? (I use the T position) Or do I just need more air in the lungs to compensate for pressure? Thanks for making this Adam!

@AdamFreediver

7 жыл бұрын

Domhnallus thanks mate!!! The issue could be that you're trying to pull up too much air. When you're deeper a T or K Frenzel will be hard because of the air you have to bring up for it so getting more familiar with the H position could sort that out because you don't need to pull up so much air to do it

Watch the end of the video: if you can equalize with the stomach sucked in, you are most likely doing correct Frenzel equalization. With Frenzel you should hear a similar pop (at least it does for me).

Amazing video! One quick question. If I can equalise with my air out my lungs, am I 100% frenzel? I am doing what seems like a semi correct technique but it also feels like maybe a tiny bit comes from my diaphragm, even though if I put my hand on my belly I feel no tension or movement when I equalise....

Fan-freaking-tastic man! I have a deviated septum and I was finding nearly impossible to Valsalva equalize both ears. But thanks to your instruction on exercises and technique, I can now Frenzel equalize easily. You saved me frustration and pain(from unequalized dives). And wondering what the heck was wrong with me. Keep up the good work 🤿🤙

Amazing tutorial! Pausing and practicing along with the video. New to the sport and have learned so much from watching your videos.

I've got a lot of these things down (as best I can tell), but I really struggle to get it right in the water. It works sometimes, but not always. I'm not sure if it's because I'm rushing it in the moment, or if I'm doing something wrong. Either way, I'm heading to Cairns on Friday to try and do some dives, hopefully it works! Maybe I'll practice as the plane changes altitude!

@AdamFreediver

7 жыл бұрын

I can think of 3 things off the top of my head: 1: like you said, you're rushing it 2: you're becoming tense in your mouth and throat and this is causing you to close your soft palate and block off the opening into your nasal cavity 3: you're letting too much pressure build up in your ears before you equalise

Anyhow, Infell upon your ‘how to’ video and thing it is fantastic. I can’t wait to practice techniques with my open water classes. Thank you. Regards Kim

Adam, Thank you so much! I am not a diver of any sort, but I have had a clogged middle ear for over a week and a half and I was desperate to find a way to relieve the pressure. I've been on antibiotics and have tried valsalva equalizing constantly with no results. I followed your tutorial and on my very first attempt my ear popped right open (so quickly it actually startled me!). THANK YOU for such clear, step by step directions!

I've been scuba diving for a few years and just got into free diving. 10 meeters has been a challenge but now the depths the limit. Thank you.

Hey, I was a kid when being in a swimming club and snorkel dived in Italy on vacation just a few meters down. Now at almost 23 years old I got curious how to get better and at minute 10-11 my nostrils expanded like 4 times bigger because I did it correctly. You’re the first guy to explain it super good, before I pushed air from my lungs into my nostrils. Now I made it so I can build pressure with my tongue. Thank you a lot.
