When to inhale during dips

[hellstrum]

When doing dips do you breath in while lowering yourself? Or, do you take a quick breath at the top of the movement (when elbows are locked out) and then hold your breath while lowering?

Like you said, hold your breath through the reps and occasionally breathe at the lockout.

I breathe on the way down out on the way up. Same as any other lift really.
