Bottom line: In each exercise you do, you should be using this breathing technique.
What is a decompressed breath?
So basically a decompressed breath means you’re going to take a large diaphragmatic breath in, and then at the full inhale, turn on your transverse abdominis and lift your pelvic floor (aka 'brace your core'). Maintain this core brace and match your breath to the movement, exhaling at the point of greatest exertion (yes, audibly - we should be able to hear this breath).

Notes:
Faster reps will mean faster exhales, and slower reps mean slower exhales.

An exception to this rule: whenever under a very heavy load like when you're doing a heavy deadlift or squat (or picking up a very heavy dog, child, or bag of cement mix), you will want to hold that inhale for longer and exhale when the 'rep' is almost complete.

Bottom line: Apply this breathing throughout this course, both for strength exercises and stretching exercises.
