    I do this all the time. Even when I'm jacked up on stims. Always wondered why it happened

    Yawning can be a sign of nervousness. I used to do it a lot when I first started weight lifting because I was uncomfortable in a new territory.

    Happens to me as well, especially on big lifts like squats

    I suppose it's probably linked to tiredness as I've been lifting a little earlier.

    I've heard yawning while singing pulls more oxygen to the bottom of your lungs. I'm guessing your body needs oxygen.

    Definitely, Yawns are just your body providing more oxygen to the brain.

    I used to yawn while working out, I haven't noticed it lately though (I blame you if I yawn tonight)

    I had a vocal coach tell me that yawning is a sign that your jaw is relaxed.

    I do this too. My trainer told me that a yawn is your body's way of gearing up for energetic or difficult activity. That yawning boosts your blood pressure and your heart rate. She said that a lot of people do it. Makes me mad when I do it. I breath correctly, use correct form, but I yawn. sucks.

    I find I did that when I used to play soccer. I do that now with running, which I think is slightly random, haha.

    Don't hold your breath while lifting. Deep breaths while you're resting.

    Lol, try inhaling when you are trying to *kitten* off the floor and 405lbs on your back. Holding your breath helps brace your core and if you wear a belt it gives you something to "push" against.
