✔ Why do you exhale when lifting weights?
Blood pressure increases during weight training, especially during the negative phase of a repetition (when the muscle elongates). You should never hold your breath while lifting weights, which can lead to dangerously high blood pressure.Exhale during the negative phase; and inhale during the positive phase.

Proper breathing during weight lifting is vital, not only for your performance, but also for your health. Breathing ensures that the blood circulating to your working muscles is oxygenated and that waste products are removed. Holding your breath during weight lifting can lead to dangerous increases in blood pressure, which can lead to injury.
