Despite the need for a Valsalva maneuver for a safer lift, an exaggerated pressure response indeed increases the transient risk of artery dissection, even in young healthy individuals . Therefore, the loading parameters used in the session should be carefully selected, to guarantee the vascular integrity of the trainee, while maximizing the benefits of strength training. In this sense, convenient strategies to reduce the pressure response include selecting a rational number of sets and a sufficient break between sets , and choosing a reasonable compromise between intensity of load and the length of the set with that particular load .
