Breathing

Newman

When I was at the gym last week a quite big guy came up to me and told me that I was breathing in the wrong way while practising.
He told me that I had to breath out while moving the barbel up and that it allways is like this when you are training (benchpress etc.)

I think this feel wrong, i want to breath out while moving down the barbel.

Is it true what he told me?

Yes, it is true. It makes it so you don't get the barbell trapped on your chest without having air. Also, it makes it a little easier to actually lift.
