How to breathe for heavy squats and deadlifts

#squats #deadlifts #breathing

think about it if you’re in the most challenging part of the rep yeah if you breathe out all that tightness that you have like you have to lift the weight now yeah you don’t want to lose that core strength and that tightness so you take a big diaphragmatic breath yeah as you know from singing mhm you know you like you take that big belly breath hold it you do the rep when you’re like 3/4s on the way up that’s when you breathe it out so you’ll be like this I like to imagine water you take the breath you go underwater holding holding holding holding holding you come above the water you breathe that something they didn’t know before there you go so water at shoulder height

  1. So you breath in at the top and hold your breath for the whole negative and the lift up then breath out again? Or do you reset each time at the bottom and thats when you breath in? It actually makes sense because like you said you need that spinal stability from internal pressure on the neegative too. Not just just lift. I actually blew a disc on the way down from breathing out and losing that spinal stability.

  2. I never knew this! So it’s opposite to when u breath during an rdl? I always thought you had to keep your stomach tight and inwards when doing the actual movement 😂 but with a squat you breath and expand the belly outwards? I’ve been doing my sumo squats wrong all this time…. 🤦‍♀️😩

  3. Soo i habe a question. When i breath out at the top, my whole spine collapses and on camera looks really ugly, and feeling all the bracing just undo at the top feels super sketchy. I like to just rebrace right before the weight hits the ground again. The only issue with that, is it takes a second on the ground beforr i can do another rep, leading to big pauses between each rep. Idk if im doing it wrong or what
