I don’t think you’re supposed to hold your breathe when lifting…

  Just like your not supposed to puff your cheeks when playing an instrument, but that never stopped Dizzy Gillespie. More of a suggestion than a rule

    Gillespie also exemplified why the rule against puffing your cheeks is more than just a suggestion.

  Jokes aside, you absolutely are. Bracing properly is a critical skill in both olympic weightlifting and traditional strength training.

    Ah, shows how much I know about lifting... in general I've always been reminded to keep breathing when exercising.
