- Phil covers how to correctly perform - and hold - the Valsalva maneuver when deadlifting. Parker makes a few cameo appearances and shows off his retrieving skills as well.
When lifting, we strongly recommend lifting shoes (see our video below on that topic). Here are some solid options:

Your the only one that clearly showed how to keep close the throat for a proper valsalva. I never heard about saying "Hic" to close the throat and it made a world of difference for me, Thank You
You’re very welcome, and I’m glad to hear that it helped!
Really useful! I felt my spine strong as hell while deadlifting 🙏🏻
Glad you found it useful!
I was doing research on Antonio Maria Valsalva when I came across this video. I watched the whole video. Thanks for the bracing lesson.
Thanks for watching, and you’re welcome!
Oh and nice work explaining the Valsalva, Phil! :)
Best explanation of deadlift bracing I've found, and one that goes perfectly with the Rippitoe style set-up that eliminates hip rise and results in an ideal starting position each rep -- yet under 2k views?! Criminal.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the kind words pasaerc!
1:55 tightly contracted abs, glottis, keep at top. only when bar is on floor you breathe, keep mouth open and perform
Yep - good summary. You don’t have to keep your mouth open to perform it, but it is an easy way to check and see if you are performing it correctly and not accidentally just holding your breath against your lips.
sweetest training partner 😍 🐕
Absolutely :-)
Good boy, parker!
He’s definitely the highlight :-)
so i came here because i started today with deadlift in my workout and almost passed out thank you for this video i know where i make mistakes now :))
You’re very welcome!
Should the Valsalva maneuver be used with all the exercises, i.e. deadlift, squat, bench press, press, power clean, and even lying tricep extension, pullup, etc. or only when doing deadlifts?
Yep, all of them.
Hello there, I had a question about the Valsava: How do you valsava when you are doing multiple reps deadlift?
After you set the bar down, take a big breath, set your back again ("squeeze your chest up"), and then drag the bar up your shins for the next rep. Take a new breath before each rep.
@@TestifySC Thanks a lot!
You're very welcome!
When performing more than 1-3reps i usally become dizzy at the bottom going for a new breath. Is it due to faulty tecnique or should i just take a few breaths before continuing my set?
Martin - I can't address the technique as I haven't seen you pull, but if taking another breath or two helps avoid the dizziness, then I'd recommend that. Don't pull if you're dizzy - it has the possibility to create some rather unfortunate events. In general, don't spend any more time on the floor between reps with the deadlift (i.e., breathing, fidgeting, etc.), but again, if taking another breath or two solves the problem, then I'd go that route.
What if i release the air and “renew” the valsava on the top?
Breathing in and out only occurs at one point (on pretty much every lift). In the squat, this is the top of the movement. In the deadlift, this is when the bar is sitting on the floor.
With this in mind, we specifically coach lifters to continue holding the Valsalva at the top of the deadlift and until the bar is back on the floor. Air is support, and you're still supporting the bar at the top of the lift, so we want to keep that held breath.
This can be a hard habit to break (like any habit) if you're used to releasing your breath at the top (not difficult physically - you just have to remind yourself, and that's the easy part to mess up), but in the long run, you'll adjust, and it's not difficult to do.
Hope this helps!
"Don't lose that Valsalva at the top of the lift, wait until you set it back down then blow out your air."
Can I ask you to what extent I should release the air when the barbell is on the floor, before "re-valsalving"? Should I puff out all the air or only a little?
On the deadlift, you’ll pretty much release the entire breath at the bottom before taking a new breath and performing the Valsalva maneuver again.
@@TestifySC Thank you. And what about the other lifts?
Please I need help to get a proper diagnosis of my cardio problems
What about passing out after the deadlift? Trying to avoid that.
Are you concerned that it will be a problem in the future, or has it been a problem already?
@@TestifySC I haven't passed out yet, but a couple of times I've been super dizzy.
@@TestifySC future.
@@EricAndertonConstructionGenius Roger that. A few things - make sure you're performing the Valsalva against a closed glottis and not just against a closed mouth (usually accompanied by puffed out cheeks). If you say the word "hick" and hold the "ck" part, that's what a closed glottis feels like. Beyond that, you could experiment with hissing or grunting slightly when pulling - this has helped for some people. For the most part, this phenomenon passes, and you adapt as you get stronger and continue deadlifting, but those tips might help. Also, and importantly, if you get dizzy, take a knee. Falling hurts much less . . . if you're already on the floor. Admittedly, I say this with a bit of humor intended, but it's very true nonetheless, and we tell this to anyone if they ever get dizzy or lightheaded.
@@TestifySC good tip. Tried the hick move. Worked
Thanks now I don't feel a stretch/strain in my abs while deadlifting
Glad to hear it!
"Do not move the barbell!" Hahaha. Have you taken inspiration from Alan Thrall?
Ha :-) Nope, that concept comes years ago from the Starting Strength 5-step setup for the deadlift. I’m a Starting Strength Coach, and Alan used to be one as well. His delivery is a bit better than mine :-)
@@TestifySC haha okay! Alan started under starting strength too, yeah. You're both good content creators! Alan is very funny and entertaining guy too
Thanks for the kind words! Alan puts out some great stuff :-)
