Hi does anyone here use valsalva when doing squats, deads, bench's etc.
I know Mark Rippetoe reccomends using it in starting strength, but is it safe?
I have heard horror stories of people having strokes while holding their breath and exerting.
If you dont use valsalva how do you breathe in certain exercises?
What are peoples thoughts on valsalva vs breathing?

Cheers Jonson
