Holding your breath

[headache2]

Do you hold your breath when lifting heavy or do you just exhale they whole way though ?

 

[P0N]

I do the valsalva maneuver during heavy lifts and then breath again after completing the rep

Only during the rep of my very heaviest sets.

 

[Fella Finn]

Concentric part of the lift is where I hold my breath.

 

[stevesmi]

breathing is important cause it gets oxygen through the body

if you are a smoker then you need to quit smoking for that reason, it will harm your oxidative health

 

[cbbram]

Breathe... Always breathe

 

[RickRock13]

I breathe through every rep typically, except on the last rep going to failure.

 

[Tazz]

don’t hold your breath man, always breath when your lifting.
