Hi,

I find that after a heavy (for me) deadlift set I often experience a
period of dizzyness which last up to 30 seconds. Today I found myself
cutting short a couple of sets in anticipation of the dizzyness. Is
there any sort of breathing technique or any approach that may help with
this problem?

Thanks, Ted.

Yes. Breathe.
