You’re Breathing WRONG On Squats!

[joe-wtoe]

Once I was at the bottom and thought, “why is everything black and white?” And then I woke up on the floor. Make sure you breathe at the top.

[pigeneguerra]

I learned to exhale on the way up because I would pass out if I didn't.

[spacetatters]

I pause with every rep regardless of weight and I'm an ass to grass guy, horray for mobility. The one thing I can confirm is that it gets waaay more difficult for me to re-brace myself if I take a breath at the bottom with anything over 245. Watching this channels videos on better breathing techniques and core stability exercises have helped tremendously with overall stability, but more importantly in my squat which is my best/favorite lift. Keep the content rolling dude! Love this channel

[BunnyWing]

Thank you. I was always taught breath in on the way down and out on the way up. I'll try to adjust my breathing and see how this technique feels for me.

[WillWinterz]

Prehab before you have to rehab my brothers.

[epistarter]

I was wondering about this ever since you talked bracing your core, really good idea with the underwater thing too

[iancanada]

I only start to exhale after the hard sticking part of the lift and it starts to go back up easily again

[josephdawson]

Wow this was very well said. Very easy to remember 🤝🏿👍🏿

[pramodreddymanne]

This breathing helped my posture... Did using dumbbell lift

[bestlobjagamer]

thanks king cant wait to further develop my squat technique !

[AthenaGate]

Thanks man, I have noticed that I am light headed after doing heavy sets on squats probably because I am not breathing correctly.

[ExecutionSommaire]

I feel like it's only recently that I've nailed the feeling of having your upper body really f*cking solid so that you can push hard and safely with the lower body. Digging the bar into my upper back to pass that sticking point helps a lot.

[artgonz]

Fuck yeah!!!! I finally found the answer to when to exhale 🦵🏼

[faresmhaya]

I don't know man. I sometimes get stuck mid way through getting up and I feel too much pressure from holding my breath. The only way for me to finish my ascent is to let some of that air out and maybe grunt a little.

[andriyandriychuk]

Can you please make a video about exertion headache???

[xkidmidnightx]

lol at that good morning squat. that's ridiculous

[Dad_Lyon]

You want to hold that breath and brace til you feel like passing out, then squat, and at the bottom pass out and crap your pants, Eddie Hall style.

[KaentukiTheFuki]

I'm so co.fused. I was told never to hold your breath because you can pass out or the intra abdominal pressure combined with a heavy lift can cause a hernia.... .I'm so lost. This is why I just do calisthenics with a vest. Weights are too technical and I'm hearing contradicting advice everywhere.

[prismatic]

Cool cool, but what do I do to rep heavy? I find at higher weight when trying for an 8 rep set, I'm absolutely gasping by rep 5 or 6, even if the weight was moving decently before

Everyone: (breath on the top)
