Interesting! I was holding my breath (“under water”, like this) last week and then an experienced lifter told me this breathing technique causes immense blood pressure peaks in the head and he suggested to me to keep breathing. What’s your take on this, please?

@jtsavor5649 9 ай бұрын

Hes not nearly as experienced as he thinks or he mistranslated what he was trying to say. During a single rep you have to maintain your breath in order to maintain rigidity within your core. However, muscles require oxygen to produce power. So you take a breath at the top of the range of motion. Take a breath, rebrace and execute. As for the blood pressure yes your blood pressure increases when exercising and sometimes under maximal loads blood pressure gets so high that a person can passport from it. Scientists can't totally account for why this occurs but aside from the fall it's safe and not harmful to the body. So hold your breath during the movement of a rep. Pause at the top to breath and rebrace before executing another rep. You can hold for multiple reps of you desire it's really a personal preference thing. Hope this helps. Be elite!!

Align your spine with your pelvis in a neutral position. Don’t flex or hyperextend your low back or tilt your hips forward (anteriorly) or backward (posteriorly). Maintain that relationship between your spine and pelvis the entire time.

@@brahmabull4004 if I was coaching him in person during a squat session, I would absolutely use simpler terms. However, in a written format, when I don't know this person at all, if I used words that are too simple, it might be unclear, especially considering "stacked ribs" is already a pretty simple cue, but he didn't understand that. So keeping it simple might not be right for him. I didn't say "a whole bunch of nothing." I'm not trying to "smart signal" I'm communicating clearly. But if I were to "explain it like he's 5" then I would say brace your abs or pull your ribs down (to keep them from flaring). Now I have better things to do in my life than explain myself to a random stranger who's speaking rudely to me, especially when I was simply trying to help someone.

@Un1234l 9 ай бұрын

Arguable. Most modern shoes don't offer much protection in the gym if weight were to be dropped on them regardless. So being barefoot is safer for better stability. But barefooc/minimalist shoes would be better still

@anonymous3883 9 ай бұрын

How it it dangerous, it can actually be more safe depending on the type of shoes you wear. A lot of modern running shoes have narrow toeboxes which cram your toes together, which can harm ankle stability. And when there's a lot of cushion on the shoe you dont get a good feel for the ground and you're gonna have to stabilize yourself on top of all the cushion moving under your weight, instead of just standing on the floor

@psychobillysardo 9 ай бұрын

@@Un1234l Pardon me, but this doesn't make much sense. You are carrying weights, it is right to have a minimum of protection, which you cannot give up just to have that extra bit of stability barefoot. Moreover, it is debatable how barefoot stability is becoming fashionable: we are simply talking about a "new age" trend even where it is not innocent, but even counterproductive. I mean, would weightlifters be assholes then if they had suitable shoes? Guys, suitable shoes exist, and it is good to use them instead of training irresponsibly and lifting weights barefoot.

@Un1234l 9 ай бұрын

@@psychobillysardo Like I said, even regular shoes don't help much when weight is dropped on them. But it is better protection than not having any shield. But that's where the risk VS benefit assessment comes into the equation: How many years and times have you lifted VS how many times have you had weight dropped on your feet? But once again, even regular shoes won't do much to protect you when heavy weight is dropped on your feet. And barefoot for performance and health is not a trend. It's very scientifically conclusive modern western footwear fucks up your feet and consequently things up the body. Modern day foot binding.
