Ask a weightlifter. The Valsalva maneuver “splints” your abdomen and thorax turning it into a HUGE fulcrum for leverage. Wearing a weight belt can help this effect and add maybe as much as 25% to the weight you can lift. IMHO it is mistake and poor form so I lift being careful to INHALE because a prolonged Valsalva also does a number of bad things that can be very detrimental. Watch Strong Men deadlift a thousand pounds. They can do it but “black out” for several minutes.

"So we fill the lungs by breathing in and tense up the muscles of the torso to stabilise the spine. We throw our arms forward to provide momentum and with this effort, we hold our breath to maintain that stability.... We then release the breath slowly or quickly, depending on the nature of the task." "Free Grunt Zone"

This guy has too much time on his hands. I grunt when I bend over because I know I have to come back up.

grunting with physical exertion does seem to be habitual... Noted with pro tennis matches.

The only people I know who grunt when they bend over have bad backs.

Why Do Humans Grunt When They Bend Over? Well that all depends on who is standing behind you.
