Breathing Squats Vs Traditional Squats:

Breathing squats are similar to traditional squats, but with a higher number of repetitions. If you used to do 10 reps, then in case of breath squats you will have to do 20 reps with the same weight as for ten. For being able to do this type of squats, you have to be familiar with basic squats. If you can not perform ten basic squats, then breathing squats are not for you. But, later you can try it. Using heavy weights is essential for this exercise, so proper execution is important for your safety.

Compare to basic squats, breathing squats require longer rest in between sets. So, after each set you will have to take three huge breaths, inhaling and exhaling through your mouth. You have to take as much as possible air and feel how your chest sells up, and then blow it up.

First, ten breath squats have to be performed by following this rule. Once you reach this threshold, it will be difficult for you to go further, because you used to do only this number of reps. You need to gather all your willpower and do next reps with longer pauses between reps.
