how do you breath durring deads?

[t3c]

Just curious how everyone breaths durring deads...

 

[needsize]

Generally you want to exhale as you drive the bar up, and inhale on the way back down, but when you're nearing failure you just breath any way you can!

You're supposed to breathe during a deadlift? Huh, I kinda just hold it and pull like all Hell untill I see all the pretty sparklin lights..LOL... But I basically just grab a deep breath, reach down and grip the bar, lower my body and yank for all i'm worth... Then start letting it out after lockout

 

[Greek Freak]

breath at the hardest part for you..normally around your knees, once you get it to your thighs most people have no problem finishing off the movement.

 

[b fold the truth]

Hold that breath...big air...pull hard. I will breathe after I have stood up with the weight and maybe again at the bottom...

like bfold said...i hold my breath till i get to the top. i have to put as much air into my stomach as possible.

I take a deep breath when it's on the ground and start to exhale when I'm through the tough part of the lift. I wouldn't think it about it too much, just do what comes natural.

HUGE air before I descend to grab the bar and exhale at top. I actually hold my breath for the first few reps of almost every set. Just a personal thing, never had any problems with it

Reps or 1 rep max?

Reps, hold you air throughout the movement, and let it out and inhale again between reps (resting point dimmel style).

For max, suck in, flex abs, press out against ab wall, and don't breath until you lockout the bar.

 

[Hannibal]

Take as much air into the stomach as possible...reach down and grab the bar....push abs out against belt...stand up with the bar...drop the bar and exhale.

What's this rep talk?


In all seriousness, when I do happen to do reps for deadlift I treat them as a serious of consecutive singles...getting reset between each rep.
