Walk into any fitness center, exercise arena or weight-training room and you will hear a lot of heavy breathing. It is an essential element in lifting weights because breathing properly will increase the effectiveness of the workout. Breathing improperly can lead to high blood pressure and sometimes serious medical problems. Any person who lifts weights or performs similar resistance training needs to learn correct breathing technique.
Muscle density develops as your muscles heal from the microscopic tears they develop during heavy lifting, but pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion can cause more significant muscle damage. If you feel that you can't continue with your lifting, stop. Don't risk injury to try and add another set to your workout.
