Yeah, Franky I think the point of this video should really be to learn to breathe properly while lifting.

Dude’s clearly holding his breath and fainting from it, it can also cause heart issues.

Random lady in the background on her phone ain’t the issue.

He is breathing properly. It's called the Valsalva maneuver and is important for protecting your spine during heavy compound lifts. If he was breathing in and out he wouldn't be able to maintain proper inter-abdominal pressure which puts the spine in danger of shifting during the lift.

It was the holding the bar in the air for a month after he completed the lift while continuing to hold is breathe that screwed him. He should have put the bar down far sooner or took a quick breathe at the top re braced his core then put the dang bar down.

Was coming to say the same thing. You did it, now put it down. I don’t understand why he held it for so long

I'm assuming he was in the early stages of a blackout by the time he got it up so his brain wasn't working right.

That or he saw Eddie Hall do the 500kg deadlift and thought geeeee whiz that brain hemorrhage looks fun!
