    You need a sometimes vote!

    Years ago, I read a study that suggested that grunting when you lift heavy weights is a way to control one's exhalation.

    Sometimes I roar. Especially when I work out at home.

    When using the valsalva maneuver, a quick yell or grunt increases the pressure on the abdominal wall, allowing for a momentary increase in power.

    So, yeah.

    interestingly, the two newb coaches that were around when I first started didn't know what this was...

    i don't think so...something about belts promoting bad form...but, then again, they didn't believe in glove use or opposing grip on heavy deads.

    Well i'm with them on gloves. I don't think they're needed.

    As for the alternating grip, they're useful once you're past weight that double overhand can handle.

    Hook grip is where it's at with heavy weight, though. Just takes a while to get used to it.

    Heng = grunt
    HA = shout

    Shouting HA wastes all your qi. One should instead keep the mouth closed and grunt HENG . Use the nose to breathe. The ridiculousness of the emoticons shows the difference. HENG is where the power's at, not HA .

    I find that shouting spells from Harry Potter movies makes me just as powerful as using my qi enhancing shouts.

    I guess it depends on whether your aim is to be good at shouting, or bringing more power into your movements.
