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.

I've taught boys to spit in the urinal when done.

"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.

Leftover from when men chewed tobacco and spitting in public was common until it was (more or less) outlawed? Help me here...

It’s an early warning system for back issues.

“Ask a weightlifter.”
No joke. I’m a dedicated powerlifter and could have told them this.
You also exhale or your BP will goes so high on the positive part of the lift, you’ll get a nose bleed (or worse).
You also don’t let all the air out, until the weight is down.

This breathing and vocalizing concept is huge in martial arts training.

“dont use that toilet. it is not bolted down.”
You’re right! Lawdy...I didn’t notice that! Just the expelled gases alone could propel that thing thru the roof. We won’t even talk about the back pressure created from flushing manly things.
