- Breathing is a critical skill during barbell training. The proper breathing technique gives the Athlete of Aging strength, stability, and safety, making for better gains and more productive training. In this video, Sully discusses the importance of proper breathing during barbell training, the safety and utility of the Valsalva maneuver, experiments you can do on yourself with a pulse oximeter, and why only perverts hold their breath under the bar.

On my 3rd or 4th viewing now. Indispensable knowledge, and hard to believe I had something so essential so wrong for so long. I'll return to these "guide-rules" over and over again. Sully breaks down complex ideas in an original way, making sure you understand them, and he makes you laugh while he's doing this. Wow!
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!! I'm approaching '62' in a couple of months and enjoying lifting barbells-especially the dead-lift. I'm also on TRT and this has helped me immensely-mostly my emotions. 🙂
Not to go off topic here, but you're pushing some pretty impressive poundage in the videos Sully! Nice work!
Let's take a moment to appreciate doc's technique. Good tempo, positions, breathing - just perfect.
I'm sick of specialists that would snap under a heavy squat.
You are very kind, thank you.
Did you say "moment"?
Excellent info. One thing he hasn't mentioned in the few videos i have seen. Strength training also strengrhens the bones last year when i was 72 I fell 12 feet off my roof. I managed to land on my hands. (Still have good reflexes, not my first fall )
I sprained one wrist! My strengrh training is my work. Stone masonry and carpentry.
No more roofs!!!!!!
You are hilarious, and thank you for the clear, useful instructions 😆
Thanks Greysteel! 💪
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Doc!!
Excellent!
Thanks once more!!!
Very helpful, Doc...really appreciate the video examples of each exercise. 🙏
Thanks for the info!!!!!!!
Thanks, Sully, for the reply!
Hay dr Scully great job on the video thanks 🏋️
Amazing!
"In my day, when I worked with Paracelsus, Osler, and Cushing..." 😆
Not quite on this topic, but close enough to give me an excuse to ask this question- What’s the difference, from a conditioning perspective, from being able to shovel heavy wet snow for a half-hour (or push a prowler to exhaustion) and being able to run a couple of miles? I can shovel the snow, but can’t run a mile. While I have friends who can run for miles but are exhausted after shoveling for 5 minutes. Both seem to be somehow cardio-dependent. Thanks, and keep putting out these great videos!
They are both "cardio-dependent," but not identical, either physically or bio-energetically. The best conditioning for any activity is the activity itself, as we have noted elswewhere. If you want to run a mile, start by running half-miles. If you want to get good at shoveling snow, shovel snow. There WILL be some crossover, but the activities are different enough that training in one will not be definitive for improving performance in the other.
Great video! Really fun to watch and extremely informative. Now that you have established there is no kung fu / karate/ tai chi / qui business going on, do I have to also stop roundhouse kicking someone in the face between sets whilst wearing my Napoleon Dynamite USA flag pants? Takes the fun out of it a bit but it might stop me from losing my gym memberships I guess.
Actually, I love me some martial arts, complete with kung fu/karate/tai chi/kiai breathing. I do kata after barbells for conditioning. I just don't breath the same way under the bar. :)
Excellent post, thanks very much. I am a 63 year old man and I follow your weight training prescriptions; they are great. But I am most curious- there are no direct bicep exercises (curls, pull ups, etc.). Since pulling something towards us is a natural and frequent movement, I was wondering why this is not included. Your thoughts? Thanks.
We describe bicep curls and rows as _accessory_ movements in our book, along with chins and pullups, but I am constrained to point out that deadlifts (and cleans and snatches) ARE pulling exercises--in fact, they are often collectively referred to as "pulls."
When you take your breath to pressurize yourself do you also have to tighten your abs like you would if someone was going to punch you in the stomach and maintain that throughout the lift? I do well with the breathing technique that you showed but I struggle with knowing if I’m maintaining tight abs. Thanks!
My colleague Noah Hayden loves the "punch in the abs" cue. I don't use it as much, but I do think it can be very helpful.
Explain what a belt does? Please
What’s your opinion on breathing at the top of the press? Barbell Logic/ Starting Strength taught the press 2.0 for a few years
In this video, we kept it simple with press 1.0. The other version of the press, where we breathe at the top and take a bounce off the bottom, is EXCELLENT, but from a BREATHING PERSPECTIVE is almost a different exercise. It is very good for accumulating reps and learning to push your hips forward and to get shoulders under the bar. The SS / BLOC approach to this is endorsed by Greysteel! But for those just starting out with the press, breathing as shown here is the way to go.
@@GreySteel Thanks for the specific detailed answer. I personally prefer the Press 2.0 for sets of 5 & volume training. I like the basic press on strength sets.
@@SLouiss Yep. I do press 2.0 (breathe and bounce) for heavy singles, and "press 1.5" (breathe at the top and bounce) for sets of 5 and 8--which I think are GREAT for the press.
There is no Bizzarro, Kung 'Fu, Tai 'chi, Karate, Ki'-breathing, as you lock the bar out with a shout! I was doing it all wrong then...😂
What if you're doing the slow reps, like Drew Baye and Jay Vincent recommend to keep time under tension?
Dunno. We don't do those, although we do pause and tempo variants, without any need to change our breathing.
I do Kung fu. I never grunt or shout! A guy in the gym that growls while lifting...I called him Tony! (You know...Tony the Tiger)!
When I die, and go to heaven, I will be lifting. I will do valsalva in Valhalla
I am going to be using this quote. Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde “I wish I had said that.” “Oh you will, you will.”
Does Valsalva cause hemorrhoids?
❤
I take one breath for a set of 5 bench presses. Sometimes I will top it off on the second rep. Same with overhead presses. Guess im a pervert 😂
Yep. 🤣
I had hernia repair surgery nearly five months ago and my surgeon, though not a sports MD, told me that holding one’s breath during heavy lifting can exacerbate and/or cause a hernia - due to the increased intra-abdominal pressure. Were they BS’ing me?
I just started this year's training (it's cold in my garage up a mountain in winter) andy suspected hernia manifested itself from the first squat.
I finished, but am dreading some surgeon telling me I can't lift for x months after it gets repaired.
Yes, they were absolutely bullshitting you. We have covered the topic of hernia extensively, and this included an in-depth review of the literature. There is NO dispositive data that shows valsalva under loading causes hernia--if it did, it would be quite apparent that lifters have a high incidence of hernia, along with people who take a crap and have orgasms.

@@GreySteel Thank you! Great content, btw. Recently purchased the Barbell Prescription book and really enjoying it. Super informative.
😂❤
Shucks wanted to see a kungfu breath😂
Funny guy😅
I have massive amounts of dumbbells. Do you not use dumbbells. My Kung fu instructor always told me breathing techniques to kick ass..
