Breathing Techniques for Strength Training

 Today's strength breath trainer are extremely sophisticated. Previously, all you needed to do to increase strength and size was to "grab it and rip it," but today there is a field called personal training where a trainer seems to justify their income by the number of directions they repeat! Where has the KISS principle gone?

breathing trainers is right near the top of most trainers' exercise-instruction list. "Exhale when you lift a weight and inhale when you lower it," is the rule. That's pretty straightforward, I suppose, but what happens if you lift a maximum load? Should the breathing pattern remain unchanged? What happens while moving quickly and violently? What if you engage in extremely slow training where each repeat can take up to 14 seconds?


Who cares about such stuff, I know what you're thinking. Being a bodybuilder, gaining muscle is all that matters to you. You don't carry very large loads or move very slowly or quickly. Why not breathe like we've been instructed since childhood? It's more along the lines of moderately heavy weights performed at a moderate pace for a modest number of sets and reps.

The "tough guys" hold their breath when things get difficult. You would as well! When faced with near-maximal efforts, we all automatically carry out a maneuver known as a Valsalva maneuver. Pay attention the next time you're "exerting force" while sitting on a toilet if you don't believe me. You're not holding your breath due to the fragrance, I assure you! But then...

According to research, you should breathe deeply into your abdomen during strength training—roughly 75% of your maximum—hold that breath if you can, and only let it out once the rep is finished. This will increase intra-abdominal pressure. With the fewest side effects and best spinal support, this also helps you get stronger!

However, holding one's breath is an innate reaction to breathing. Naturally, you'll hold your breath when attempting to raise a large object. There's no need for you to consider it.


To be completely honest, explaining every little detail of purportedly "correct breathing" while showing an exercise would just confuse the client and probably hinder rather than enhance their performance.

Naturally, there are times when a reminder is required. For instance, during regular, low-intensity lifts, many beginners frequently cease breathing, thus an occasional prod might be required. Additionally, if you're holding your breath during isometric (static) contractions, pressure may rise significantly; in this situation, fast breathing is beneficial. Finally, it is important to urge cardiac and hypertensive patients to elevate while humming or breathing through pursed lips.
