Your blood pressure is so high blood is not moving anywhere . And so in the middle of a very heavy set , especially complex movements , especially when they're loaded on your body . Um This could be an overhead press or , or squat variations , anything like that .
Well , with an acute bout of exercise , you can see that number reach as high as like 4 50/3 50 which effectively means you have total blood occlusion , right ? Your blood pressure is so high blood is not moving anywhere . And so in the middle of a very heavy set , especially complex movements , especially when they're loaded on your body .
Well , but you don't have to . But for a reasonably heavy set of hack squats or even leg extensions and given that I already can't leg extension , my body weight maybe be established and maybe this is why , um , the idea of holding my breath for an entire compound set . So again , brings to mind , um , you know , like , where is my insurance card ?
It's not the fact that you ran out of oxygen in three seconds . It's the fact that blood pressure got so high you blacked out . And so we wanna have , we're gonna have to play this game of releasing a little bit of the pressure so we can actually get blood to move a little bit , making sure that we don't lose spinal stability .
Who's gonna drive me to the hospital , this kind of thing ? Um In all seriousness , what if I want to breathe during the set ? I , I , I'll clarify I'm generally meaning if you're doing like a one rep max or something like that .
