on a side note, at least he made the lift
You titled this thread wrong. You're supposed to hold your air on a lift. Sometimes you pass out. It's hard work.
that was something else, now i'm scared to deadlift lol. Glad hes alright.
He did hit his head hard on that machine pillar though.
His head hitting is what woke him back up.Naw, that was his upper back. He would have for sure been out longer or worse if that was a head crack.
You need to let the air out at some point before lockout and if doing reps your retake your air and repeat, I reset the whole life on reps.
When you lock your hips your air should be coming out not standing there holding it in.
I can hold air for a few quick reps... Not usually deads though. But I don't let out at the top so I can control the decent enough to get a good lift
You don't let it all out at the top lol.
You actually let air out squatting and pulling during the lift only bench you hold it in forever. The grunt and noise made pulling and squatting has air leaving you.
It's a technique only Powerlifter seen to have and for me it's hard to explain but squatting up you are releasing air pulling up also but not all or even a lot of it but you are especially at lockout.
