Weightlifters may inhale deeply before performing a lift to increase intra-abdominal pressure, which can help stabilize the spine and support the lift. Some weightlifters also use smelling salts to help increase alertness and focus before a lift.

Is there a particular breathing pattern that will benefit me during weightlifting?

Yes, several. Anaerobic exercises are best when you hold your breath. Aerobic weightlifters should exhale as they push through the range of motion, and inhale as they reset; if they pause before changing directions, the inhale can be done at the rest, and another exhale during the reset. Aerobic cardiovascular exercise (jogging, etc) should have a deep, rhythmic breathing pattern.
