i just finished third cycle today!!!!!!!!!

Is this guy breathing properly? I thought you were suppose to release breaths through the extension. It looked like he was gulping as much air as he could until his head almost exploded. Just not quite sure which is the correct way

hes def gonna pass out one of these days an or get a brain aneurism. technically you are supposed to breath out while exertion, but people naturally want to hold their breath when they exerting max weight.

It's called the valsalva maneuver. You suck as much air into your core to create intrabdominal pressure to keep everything tight. Def helps on heavier weight sets.

yes he is breathing correctly. inhaling as much air as possible contracts/stabilizes your abdominal which helps you stabilize the weight, thus increasing the weight lifted

and its pretty rare to get an aneurysm from lifting. if you do, its unlikely this had anything to do holding your breath for a couple of seconds. if you cant hold your breath for a couple of seconds without passing out, its conditioning thats the problem

are you seriously comparing someone holding their breath to someone holding their breath while trying to exert as much force as possible?

yes
but dont believe me, watch any strongman/powerlifting/olympic weightlifting video...theyre not exactly passing out all the time are they?

Spidey is so full of shit... reminds me of those self claimed experts at the gym.

Have not read one useful post from him.

much needed rest week this week. this last week sure tested me on 5 3 1

PR'ed 85lb x 2/leg barbell piston squat while holding my breath :fuckyea:

I could see where spidey is coming from, that's what they tell you to become a pt.

Makes sort of sense but then again, tons of heavy lifters don't exert through the movement and don't have issues.

I' say leave it to the individual if they want to slowly exert throughout the movement or at the top.

If this was an issue, it would be well-known in the lifting community then we would have knew about it by now. Since it isn't, then it isn't an issue.

does anyone know how much personal trainers charger per hr or session here in Vancouver. Whether it's from a private personal trainer or gym personal trainer.

the majority of you joe blows aren't powerlifters... just because you lift weights, does not mean you a power lifter, nor does it mean you should train like they do.

yea, because I said every single person will pass out every single time they do the VM...

lol is there someway to ban you from the thread?

if you bench/squat/deadlift youre a powerlifter.

there is really no reason you shouldn't train these lifts, if you dont why even go to the gym lol

you seem extremely uninformed to put it nicely, why do you feel qualified to give advice?

Hit my bench PR today
275lb x 2

It's been a long road to recovery rehabbing my rotator cuff 12 months ago

if you bench, squat, deadlift, you weight train. you are not a power lifter (unless you compete). i have more than just broscience as a background. the only person that i will respectfully debate with is instantneedles

haha okay buddy...i pity the people who listen to you

:fullofwin:

so if u swim you are not a swimmer
if you run you are not a runner ?
fuck i have been telling everyone i lift, spidey what should i tell them

i can see it now, you are the guy at the gym telling everyone that squatting is bad for there knees and dead lift is bad for your back

you should tell them you're not natty, that's what you should tell them.

just because you do bench press deadlifts and squats does not automatically make you a power lifter.. someone can be doing the three exercises for 15-20 reps along with other exercises.. they are not a power lifter. it just so happens that 3 of the exercises they do in their workout, are ones that are done in powerlifting competitions.

i can see it now, you are the guy at the gym pitching a tent at the guy next to you doing ATG squats, while ignoring the girl doing the splits in front of you.

ass too grass deads need to try those out
