How does this force vary when the barbell is accelerated upward? Downward?


Escape artist Alexanderia the Great is training underwater by lifting weights in this case 25 pounds barbell curls while holding her breath. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Alex does 2 sets of 15 reps with 25lbs and does 5 extra curls for a total of 35 reps underwater. The stress in lifting underwater simulates the stress she goes through when battling shackles and chains. I do know that you are not supposed to hold your breath when you lift weights but the extreme stress in apnea helps me to better handle breath holds underwater for my escapes.
