Bench Press Breathing: Game Changer Tips

I used to just hold my breath and hope for the best on bench day—turns out, that’s not the move. If you want to lift more and stay safe, how you breathe matters way more than you think. 🔸 Take a deep breath before you unrack the bar. Fill your chest and sides, not just your belly, so your whole trunk feels tight. 🔸 Keep that breath in as you lower the bar. This keeps your body solid and helps you push through the tough part. 🔸 As you press the bar up, start exhaling slowly through pursed lips. This fuels your muscles and keeps you steady. 🔸 Don’t forget your form: feet flat, shoulder blades squeezed, elbows tucked. Good breathing only works if your setup’s on point. Took me a while to get this down, but it’s made a huge difference in my lifts. Give it a shot next time you’re on the bench! #BenchPress #GymTips #StrengthTraining #Health #Fitness
