Hey Brian, thanks to you I just put 25 lbs on my 225 squat, hitting a piss clean low bar 250. I got a belt and followed your advice and my squat has never felt better. I weigh 165 so that’s a 1.5 x bw 1RM. On 1/1/17, I weighed 138 and was a much weaker man. Thank you so much for such awesome content and for sharing your training journey with us. Big love to you and Neversate, Brian! I hope you heal quickly and continue to regain strength, man. Thank you.

This litteraly changed my lifting the first time you made a video about bracing, because I had NEVER heard of this before. I STILL send people your original video anytime I am trying to explain it to them. My squat went up by 50 pounds or more once I mastered this.

The more I do this the more I found that I naturally brace for other lifts. Like taking the garbage to the curb or trying to take all the groceries in the house in one trip. Maybe not eyes popping out brace, but still a brace.

Your earlier breathing and bracing video taught me the cadence I should have while lifting things, when to exhale, when to inhale, and that let me complete all my sets and reps while being able to give (if not 100% then at least) 80% of my strength to each rep. Now I'm going to start doing the same thing turned up to 11, brace as hard as I can, breathe in as deeply as I can, and I'm confident this'll help me with greater things in the future.

Brian your tip just helped my squat tremendously - i realised i concentrated my bracing too much in the middle instead of filling up the tank all the way to the bottom - ive been doing this for like 2 years - your comparison to a good brace to a legpress just clicked something in my head and trying to get the same feeling/support when bracing and filling up my stomach and to the back DANG!

Thank you for this video and your others. The number of times trainers, friends and even my own wife have told be to breath while lifting has been some of the worst advice I’ve ever received. I was always naturally holding my breath with out thinking about it. But today I used breathing and bracing properly after watching your videos and my 400lb deadlift felt like a 200lb deadlift. Not only that with in a day of watching you and also strength untamed dude my 3 power lifts form have gone from shit to awesome. So glad I randomly found this. Next time someone tells me to breath I’m going to just stare them in the face and turn purple.
@joshjohnston73886 жыл бұрын
A little physiology to back up why breathing "down and out into your belly" works so well. Sure, puffing your chest and throwing your shoulders back would seem to give you more lung volume. But it doesn't. When you inhale, the diaphragm (the muscle that makes you breathe and separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal) pulls downward. Your lungs don't expand upward. They expand downward and outward. Breathing down and bracing out gives your diaphragm and lungs more area to expand into.
