💥 Why Do Elite Lifters Brace So Hard During Heavy Deadlifts?
That viral Eddie Hall nosebleed might look extreme…
But the lifting strategy behind it is something your back can benefit from too.
🔑 It’s called intra-abdominal pressure.
By breathing into your abdomen and bracing around that pressure, you create more stiffness and support around your spine during heavy lifting.
And no—you DON’T need to brace until your nose bleeds 😂
Instead, learn the basics with these 3 exercises 👇
1️⃣ 90/90 Belly Breathing
Learn to breathe using your diaphragm.
2️⃣ Child’s Pose Breathing
Practice expanding your abdomen while improving mobility.
3️⃣ Braced Leg Lifts
Combine breathing + bracing to build core stability.
Better breathing. Better bracing. Better support for your back.
