I've heard its fine to hold most of your breath until you are past the sticking point. What do guys think?

I don't know if its fine or not, but i can't help but hold my breath till i get past the sticking point.

Complete and total BULLSHIT!!!!!
You never breathe out during exertion...you are asking for an injury...ask any world class powerlifter to breathe out during any lift and hell smack you upside the head and tell you to take your pussy ass bosu ball BS elsewhere!

Hahaha nice!

From a teaching perspective, people are told to exhale during the exertion because the increased blood pressure from holding breath increases the chance of losing consciousness. However, in a healthy person with healthy blood pressure, the chances of it happening are obviously quite low.

It's probably more of a cover their asses thing, than anything else...

The way I see it is: When you're pushing someone's car out of the snow, you take a deep breath and hold it in, right? Must be normal/natural for the body to do that if you instinctively do it, so it makes sense to hold it while lifting heavy too.

"When in doubt, breathe out!" LOL that's awsome!
