So i was taught to NEVER hold my breath at ANY point during the benchpress or ANY lift for that matter. Is that what you go by too?

Just read an online article were they say you should hold your breath as you lower the bar and I was like duuuude that's not right.

Did the article say why? I was also taught not to hold my breath

@KingofPizza2 it says you get more explosive power that way but I dont buy it.

I was taught to inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up.
