Hold Breath for Very Heavy Single Reps

For maximal or near-maximal lifts that can be completed without a breath, hold the breath through the rep to preserve spinal stability.

If you're going to be doing something in which you can complete the entire exercise without a breath, and it is of a maximal or close to load, that's probably your best strategy.
