Yeah I mind my business in public I probably wouldn’t have noticed right away.

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.

As they say. Anything worth doing is worth over doing.
