Barbell Breathing during DL

[Jeffrey Farnham]

I'm moving from single DL to reps of 3-5 and was wondering if anyone could offer a healthy recommendation for breathing patterns? Many Thanks.

@Jeffrey Farnham, welcome to StrongFirst.

Clarify "set," please. Touch and go, touch and go with a short slack at the bottom, stand up and reset each rep but with no extra rest, etc.? There are lots of ways to do a "set" of deadlifts.

And you will help your own cause if you follow some of the recommendations here

and give us some training background on yourself, and also tell us why you're making this switch.

Thanks.

Hello,

I inhale when get down, exhale when get up.

Kind regards,

I stay pressurized throughout the rep. Take a couple diaphragmatic breaths, reset and go again. No more than 10 sec. between reps in a set.

If you lose to much pressure at the top you could fold up like an accordion and injure yourself.
