Hi,
I'm looking for some suggestions on how one should breath during something like a back squat or deadlift during fortitude training. I have re read the book and searched but didn't find what I was looking for. Any advice is appreciated.
I know in fortitude training the reps are supposed to be continuous but coming from a powerlifting background this was hard to get used to. I am accustomed to doing a rep or 2 then taking a big breath to re brace. When should this be done using continuous reps? I tried re breathing on the eccentric for squats and felt ok but I didn't want to lose my brace when lowering a heavy dead. Also, should deadlifts be touch and go to be continuous? I have always pulled from a dead stop each rep but obviously that does not keep tension the whole set.
