Was watching an episode of "The Science of Stupid" and they did a segment on breathing properly while lifting...

So here is a video (I will note the times) of some of the clips they used to demonstrate why it's important to breath while lifting.

    I shouldn't be laughing this much....I've seen stars after a lift so I know I'm not breathing right.

    Okay, I've totally puked from working out, so I get that. What's the deal with passing out though? I'm loving freeweights, but don't necessarily want to make out with them (like that one guy's face) on my way to la la land.

    I think its from holding their breath? Or when doing a clean and jerk cutting off their windpipe while the bar is on their neck? I know ive seen stars before from not getting my breathing right lol

    I know I have come close to puking (especially pushing myself with DL's), didn't really think it was from my breathing.

    Thanks for the video, I needed the laugh pretty bad.
