How to Breathe Properly When Exercising: Breath Technique For Weight Lifting

what I do so I don't pass out is; breathe out when pushing, breathe in when pulling/coming down.

Thanks bro.

how about... right.......... now!

I'm editing as we speak. The goal is one per day

you did... BRO, YOU'RE UNDER SUSPICION.

So when are you going to cook something for us, Chef?

wait.. death isn't cool?

they say oxygen is not ur friend when lifting is that true

Hahaha exactly

will this work for bench press? reps from 6-12? I usually hold my breathe and exhale a bit after every rep, sometimes i do breathe in a bit after some reps aswell..does it matter how much you breathe in though? i don't really take a big breathe in after every rep as i would imagine it taking a lot of time

nice post champ, funniest and most informative stuff on here :)

No the opposite is true. We hold the bb behind neck. Breathe in and squezee scapula together (back and down). Trapezius, neck, shoulders, lower back, butt activated. We get our LUNGS (not stomach) full of air, blood receives a fresh flow of oxygen, and a lot of energy straight away. Then on squating down we breath out and we continue to breath out very deliberately and I would say forcefully on the way up, no stopping at the bottom. Then the next set of deadlifts will be a child's play

Thank you for your support!

That's what it all comes down to, most guys are afraid to admit it.

My family laughed when I told them I was going to lose fat with Atomic Fat Loss, but then they saw the results. Do a search on google for Atomic Fat Loss to see their reaction.

Seriously my comment was a translation of the real comment

Hahahaha. You're too fuckin much!!!!

Does this also count for other exercises?

I've heard about glaucoma coming from not breathing properly with lifting weights, is this true?

It would be a shame for you not to build strength when other normal people are able to build muscle so easily with "MegaMAX Muscle Maker" (Google it).

Wow. Superb movie. My cousin was once flabby. He changed his body from 290lbs of fat into 219lbs of absolute lean muscle mass. His buddies were shocked. I just signed up myself because I wanna beef up. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Search on Google)...

will simply flexing abs make pressure and help protect your core?

Chef Buff, why is it that when i do the valsalva maneuver sometimes i get severe headaches at the sides of my head and it persists throughout the workout after that? should i get it checked out or is it just exertion headaches?

Yes, but not nearly as effective or safe as the technique described in this video.

if you dont breath you will fill like shit shotining your workout

Thanks for tips i just deastroy my brains while deadlift i'll try it next time XD

thanks man i got very low degree asthma so intense cardio is out of the question burst sprints maybe short jogs anything longer is too much gotta take the pump soooooo yeh helps with the presses like the god dam push up and pull ups

i can do that with low reps but not high reps like 15 reps, are you suppose to breath different when doing high reps?

has anyone died young or old trying to use this technique for strength training? is there consequences to blood pressure?

can this not cause hernias from abdominal pressure? just wondering cause i thought you had to breath out during the lift

Do you know about the fat losing system that lies hidden in your body.  Just Go and Google Fat Blast Furnace to bring it out.

Watching this in 2015.

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but I have allergic and exercise-induced asthma and trouble holding my breath for that long. I know it's a matter of practice and training, but I'm not sure how to breathe until my lungs are finally trained enough or how to efficiently train them? I tend to get a shortage of breath and I have a general fear of suffocating haha 
I appreciate any suggestions :) Thanks!

You said this tip is for lifting low reps range, what about high reps (10-20 reps), can you show me how to breath when lifting high reps. Many thanks to you

i get prety dizzy doing this in sets of 5+ reps. dizzy to the point i have to sit down after the set.

I have a question, should you breath with your nose or mouth or both ?

nearly passed out doing this. I usually take a small breath in.

What if I did 2-3 reps before exhaling???

I get lightheaded as fuck when I do this breath holding stuff. Not for me... I just breathe regularly.

i think Omarsuf forgot to mention that you must breath from your nose and only

this is wrong do not try this. it can also make you get a HEART ATTQCK

Thank you for the advice. I've been using several of the techniques for almost a week now from more than one of your videos. Today is only a week later and I was just able to add 50 more pounds on squats and benching this morning. And the supplements I started taking might be helping as well. Been really sore, but can feel myself gaining strength. Thank you again for the ideas.

Why does my trainer an phsio tell me to draw belly to spine . Comfused . Even my friend s are doing it your way .

Bro if your not doing your heavy lift would you just say stay with belly to spine bracing . An can you do a video on this people say it's bad an people say its very important . Would be great to hear feedback on this from you . An yes on my current lift I do the big breath like you but people say it can cause pelvic tilt is this a load of bull or what thank you

But ... firstly, there are a lot of hernias from compressed breathing or Valsava. And that requires an operation with a long break.
Secondly, there are many hemorrhoids due to Valsava. But nobody talks about it ....
I know a lot of doctors with such patients.

thanks you for useful tips
