  intra abdominal pressure, keep your breath in your abdominal while pushing the weight up, exhale when the weight is coming at rest position.

  a simple rule...breath out when ur exerting the force, whether pulling or pushing
  
  lets say for pull up. when u pull urself up u breathe out. when ur lowering urself u breath in
  
  when u bench pressing, u breath out when u push. and breath in when u lowering

  i am still quite sure of the intra-abodominal pressure method where you keep your oxygen in your abdominal when exerting the force out and exhale

  do deadlifts/squats/shoulder press/bench/rows dont waste your time with this kindda exercises whereby only one muscle group is trained.Stick to Core exercises that invovle back and legs.
  
  If you are not training your legs, you are not training, frankly i can tell you.Those strongman world series competitors hardly even touch benchpress or curls.

  yalor, bicep curls and bench press are overrated.
  
  try to concentrate on your hips and back and if possible, your legs.
  
  explosive strength is the key if u want to be strong.
  
  ps: if u want to punch people, work on your hips.
