Use Planned Breathing During High-Rep Sets
For long sets, strategically insert breaths as reps accumulate rather than breathing randomly under load; for example, do the first 10 reps without a breath, then reset and breathe in safe positions such as lockout rather than vulnerable mid-range positions.

“if we think that they're going to do around 25 reps... we might say, okay, do the first 10 without a breath and then exhale, reset, and then do five breath... and then one breath per rep until we can't get any more.”
