I miss deadlifting.

Always deadlift with a comfy couch or lazyboy recliner behind you.

But why does that happen he didn't hold his breath that long. What causes this phenom? Is it something to do with a change in blood pressure?

   What is the Valsalva effect?
The Valsalva maneuver is a breathing method that may slow your heart when it's beating too fast. To do it, you breathe out strongly through your mouth while holding your nose tightly closed. This creates a forceful strain that can trigger your heart to react and go back into normal rhythm.Jan 10, 2020

every redneck dumbass simpleton’s goto exercise nowadays is deadlifting


it’s easy as shit to perform and you can make a bunch of noise banging weights around


serves them right - they pass out because they don’t have enough testosterone in their system to handle that much weight

Never passed out in over 30 years of deadlfting. I did lose my vision in one eye a few times. What felt like 30-60 seconds. I started to panic a little bit.

It's super popular right now for some reason.

I've always enjoyed them.  Mostly because it was one exercise that when I figured out technique, it was infinitely easier to progress.

I had a dizzy spell for the first time a month ago, and haven't done them since.

You don’t like when a flat bench is turned into a decline bench?

I’m good at making my incline presses a borderline flat bench.

Also I’m more impressed by the amount of people that can pull 500 now. I thought that used to be an accomplishment.
