    Post Breathing for various exercises?

    Is it important to breathe right when doing your workout?

    If it is, are there any specific breathing techniques required for the following: -Bench press, Squats, bicep curl, dips, bent over rows, lat pulldown, situps and pushups?

    Thanks in advance for helping me out!

    It's very simple: Breathe deeply and exhale hard during the concentric phase of the lift.

    If you are a beginner you shouldn't bother with this imo your body will do it naturally.
    I like to breath in during the negative movement and out during the positive movement.
    Except for exercises like squat and deadlifts I use valsalva maneuver breathing technique(holding breath during the whole exercise and breath between reps) to provide core support and help protecting my back.
    I also use valsalva maneuver to gain mechanical advantage.

    First off, I'm not a man. If you aren't comfortable with your current breathing techniques try both ones I listed, and find go with the one that works best for you You will need valsalva maneuver for squats and deadlifts to help stabilize your spine.
