Hack squat 675lbs x 7

Hell of a damn set man. To clarify, you breathe in prior to the rep and breath out coming back up?

It is called the Valsalva Maneuver. It raises intra-thorasic pressure (among other physiological changes) and allows you to generate more force safely. It can create some risks in certain people, but many people (myself included) use it to maximize power generation safely.

Little info on it

Really, you only came in to be negative.

That, and to sprinkle neg reps apparently.

Not cool Simpske.

Thank you very much. I found myself dizzy sometimes after finishing a heavy set of hack squats and always figured it was something with my breathing during the set.

Absolutely. If you're not dizzy, you're not doin' it right.

Seriously though, I frequently get dizzy and light-headed when performing my heavy sets. It passes.
