You breathing and bracing technique’s have been a complete game changer for me over the past two years! Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do for us!
Breathing and bracing has been critical to lifting things and your follow-along seminar was some of the best content on the habit to practice the skill.
Sounds like great cues and a super valuable breathing exercise to practice. So many lifts rely on a stable core, and locking that down properly (without feeling like you're going to poop or pop your head off) is immeasurably helpful.
Yes your core isn't your abs alone, the obliques, QL muscles, hip stabilizer muscles, low back (lumbar errectors) (which technically runs from your hips under your skull) and even your upper 2 hip flexors play into the "core'
@@BRAINFxck10 yes but they are a part of your torso, they are responsible for keeping your scapula bones tracking along your rib cage so I don't see that counting as your core since it only serves the purpose for the shoulder girdle, and not the lumbar spine
@@drip369 smh… bro your ribs are also your core! Serratus muscles also help your lungs to breathe properly and by keeping your torso and shoulders stable that does help support your spine and lumbar when your torso moves side to side.
I noticed that I cannot ever get a better breathe than when I’m box squatting. I sit on the box I’m using with my hands up on the bar I’m about to squat and I sit there just like how you’re saying with my belt/stomach against my legs. Great explanation as always though! Jumping into the beginning of Wave 3 of the Massbuilder program right now and it’s going amazing! Thank you for all the information you put out over the years it’s done so much for me and I truly am grateful.
Hey man, I'm gradually recovering from some stuff - I've been revisiting some of your stretching and recovery videos to help remind me of old cues and whatnot. This feels like such a good walkthrough for priming to brace correctly first time back. Thanks.
Thanks Brian your videos and cues have helped me a lot in the past. This is exactly what I’ve been needing. Focusing on my bracing became a huge focus of mine after I gave myself several bloody noses squatting. I’ve fixed the problem but feel as though I’ve been lacking in my brace as I’ve only been inhaling into my lower belly. I’m sitting on the toilet right now and can already tell this is going to be a game changer.
Jeez Brian you scared me! btw been chopping a LOT of wood lately and it has been shredding my core... and I also have a torn meniscus operation coming up. So that's exciting.
I started rucking lately and realized that I've been breathing wrong. The phrase, 'breathe out your back,' has been a constant lately. I've been breathing wrong my whole life it seems, and it is proving difficult to change this.
Hey Brian (great way to spell your name), what does your shirt mean? I’ve always told people to be apart of the GSD crew, which to me means Gettin’ Shit Done. Anyways, thanks for the content, been soaking up all your information for years.
I like to cue this on the drill where you have your client on the ground with a KB on their stomach by having them not only push away the KB but have them push their back into the ground too
First I wanna say I love your videos because of you I go into strong man I’m gonna start doing your power building strongman soon but I’m curious about what events to add to each of 4 days I have axel, CDB, sandbag ,yoke, farmer carry and keg
This is a good que that WSM Mitch Hooper uses for deadlifts. Of course I've seen all 3 seasons of Demon Slayer so I consider myself an expert on breathing techniques 😂
This might not be obvious. It sounds like you're tapping into Pectoral-Transverse Abdominis tension. I wonder how this would work in a half-depth wall sit with a classic bench cue and one's thumbs resting on the hip socket.

Man, I truly appreciate this! Thank you!

This comment means the world to me, my friend. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave it.

Yup also the serratus muscles around your ribs those usually get overshadowed by abs and obliques

This is a really good post, thanks for taking the time to make it!
I definetly feel it often in my face/head. So I will give this a try on thursday for squat-day.
Practice forcing it down. In your face is bad news

I’m so glad it helps brother!
lol, i just tried this and it seems simple but it's kind of a game changer. Awesome tip.
Thanks for trying it!
Go Brian!
Thank you!
Thank YOU!

awesome info, thanks brother! I'm on a layoff right now but i may try practicing this just at home to get the feel of it.
Definitely practice it because it takes time to master

Chopping wood is such great exercise
I’ll try it Friday with DLs. Thanks 🙏
Definitely going tot ry this come Friday.

Interesting.
I hope it helps
Thanks man I’m gonna give this a try
Much appreciated
I felt this instantly! Thank you!
Great!! I hope it helps!
Good work Brian.
Thank you my friend
Excited to try this
I hope it helps!
Hey Brian (great way to spell your name), what does your shirt mean?
I’ve always told people to be apart of the GSD crew, which to me means Gettin’ Shit Done.

Yeah, that’s what it stands for, but the Critical Bench guys gave it to me when I went on their podcast
I like to cue this on the drill where you have your client on the ground with a KB on their stomach by having them not only push away the KB but have them push their back into the ground too
I tried it and almost pissed myself there was so much more pressure than I’m used to
That is a great thing!
Not feeling it in your face is actually a great cue that's not often stated. Would've saved me a couple hard falls in years past lol
No doubt, sorry brother!
First I wanna say I love your videos because of you I go into strong man I’m gonna start doing your power building strongman soon but I’m curious about what events to add to each of 4 days I have axel, CDB, sandbag ,yoke, farmer carry and keg
Brian - great video and drill. You mentioned Brandon Morgan. Is that the one with Kabuki Strength?
Yes sir. I like his stuff
B-MAN!!!!!
Hello my friend
Didn't a few times and passed out. Not really 😂😂😂😂😂
💪🏻👌
Thanks!
This is a good que that WSM Mitch Hooper uses for deadlifts. Of course I've seen all 3 seasons of Demon Slayer so I consider myself an expert on breathing techniques 😂
I almost shit myself
Almost? Try harder next time.
0:58 yes, but that hurts my belly rolls
How not to feel it on your face? I guess just put pressure into my core?
Yes, you can control where that pressure is put with practice. I aim for an area right where my lifting belt goes.
Thank you. Been following your tips and they have helped. Been working with lower percentages in order to feel it. @@BrianAlsruheOfficial
