BREATHING AND STRENGTH TRAINING PART 1

Tip of the day: Injuries are common in extreme sports and bodybuilding. Now if I were to tell you that you're breathing might have caused that injury, what would you say? How well do we know when and where to breathe?

 Normally, I trust the Axial loading method.We are meant to believe that we should exhale on the exertion phase. Are their exceptions to the rule?

This is what i learned from Dan Hellman. Inhalation always follows an extension (Axial), and exhalation follows a flexion. So conclusion: always follow the foetal position for breathing. If you are going away from the foetal position you must inhale and when coming back to foetal position you must exhale.

For example,in a bent over row with proned hands, inhale while pulling toward the belly button, and exhale coming back to starting position. Remember, this rule always applies when the load is not higher than (>80 1RM).
