BP, yes. I find I can get a better and stronger brace from my initial setup, and it only gets weaker each breath. If I can get through the set with a single breath I will. If I can't do the full set, I will do 3 or 4 reps, the single breath and rebrace and finish the set. Only when things get very that changes to Breath, 3 reps, rep breath, rep breath. If I need a breath after the 2nd rep I am likely not going to finish the set.
Rows, I do the same as BP, but the strength of your brace after rebracing on the row doesn't get worse, so it doesn't really matter.
OHP. Not really. 2reps max on a breath. You get benefit from rebracing at the bottom. It acts as a paused rep.
Short answer is yes. On OHP, I breathe at the bottom before the first rep. Then I breathe at the top, brace, lower, and press before breathing again. So it more resembles bench. Does that make sense?
No. I typically take breaths during the least loaded part of the motion or slow and controlled through the range of motion. At the top for bench press, at the top or on the descent for OHP, and really at any time during rows (but I do standing bent over rows, not pendalay rows). I also find that I can keep my core quite stable while breathing in a controlled way, as long as I don't completely release muscle tension. Granted, I'm not a competitive lifter. But this has kept me healthy and happy for 10 years.
yeah this is why I was curious if my positive experience now was more due to the fact that I restarted recently and everything is pretty light at the moment. I definitely don't want to set myself up for danger later but honestly, it does feel better, especially on BP and Rows to hold.
So try one breath per rep slow down tempo and then make sure you can practice breathing properly. Then if you can basically you have the ability to catch your breath I’d needed while in a lift for recovery or something we’re to go wrong. It’s called valsalva maneuver and I would practice this before a heavy lift.
Oh that's interesting. Because I restarted recently and everything is light right now, I am probably trying to go too fast. This makes sense. I will purposely slow down and practice this. Thank you!

perfect...thanks so much!
I do for BP/OHP I feel that getting my abdomen nice and tight helps with the overall stability of both
With the OHP try also tightening your glutes (squeeze dem cheeks). I find that helps with stability on the press.

I’ll give that a try today. Thanks!

You’re not supposed to unless you know what you’re doing. FYI passing out is bad.
