Often prescribed        by Russian strength coaches and other mad scientists, the goal of power        breathing has generally always been to allow for increased power output        during a lift. This occurs by way of improved stability resulting from        the intra-abdominal pressure created when the technique is applied. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.t-nation.com/article/bodybuilding/ab_training_from_the_inside_out">For the duration of a power breath, nearly all lower trunk muscles contract        with significant force as oxygen leaves your body. The tightening begins        internally, with the transversus abdominus and diaphragm contracting        dynamically as you "push" the air out. Externally, your rectus abdominus        and spinal erectors simply contract isometrically. Keep in mind you're        applying resistance, so the breathing itself is actually quite a workout        for those internal muscles.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C5994981-FAF4-4298-BB9E-8F91DD412950/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
