Show Notes
If you've ever been curious about what you're supposed to be thinking about to brace during lifting, and what the difference between bracing and the valsalva maneuver is, this episode will clear that up for you. You'll also learn about intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), how it's created, the muscles involved, and why you don't want to think about "drawing in your belly button".
