You exhale during the hard motion of the exercise, so if dumbell curling exhale during lifting it up, and inhale bringing it down. If you do that wrong you can develop hernia's where lifting heavy weights your intestines can come at you anal.

∙ 13y agoYou're supposed to exhale during the concentric phase, i.e., the harder part. It is often better, however, to hold your breath (or more correctly, utilize the Valsalva maneuver), during both phases. This generally allows you to generate a little bit more force, but it takes practice.
This is an evolutionary mechanism that humans have developed, in fact, and it becomes obvious when you think about it. I believe it is Mark Rippetoe who gives the example of having your car run out of gas in the middle of an intersection, requiring you to push it out of the way. Imagine how you would go about this: you would take a big breath and hold it before giving it your biggest push. It is innate.

When lifting weight up against gravity you should?
Exhale
When lifting a weight should you exhale or inhale?
Inhale and exhale whenever you need to. If your workout involves swimming, you may need to hold your breath when under water. If your workout involves lifting weights, you may find it helpful to inhale just before lifting. But in general, you should simply breath normally.
Could quadraceps weight training cause hernia in the groin area?
No, probably not. And if it did, then the problem was not the activity of the training itself, but that it was done improperly. Hernias are known to be caused by lifting heavy objects using poor technique. They say you should bend your knees and not your back. The other important thing to do is breathe correctly. You should exhale of effort and inhale on the recovery.
Do you usually gain or lose weight lifting weights?
This depends on the person and the kind of weight lifting you do. The short answer however is that lifting weights should help you to lose fat and gain muscle. If you are lifting heavily in order to gain muscle mass, you will gain weight. However, if you are lifting to get lean muscle, it should help to lose weight.
What respiratory systems do you use when weight lifting?
if you do a lot of running and cardio work then you have a healthy heart leading to a healthy respiratory system. but if you lift weights and hold your breathe during your repetitions then it is bad for you because your heart keeps pumping but you don't breathe and you keep harmful toxins inside your body. Not a big deal but still something to think about. make sure you inhale and exhale when your lifting, whether it is heavy or light.
