Which one is it?
A combo of both. Holding your breath while exerting yourself raises your BP and you’re also not getting oxygen.

When the brain senses that the heart is beating hard and blood pressure is high, it sends an impulse throughout the body to relax. Blood stops reaching the brain during this maladaptive nervous system response, eventually making you faint.

I still don't understand how ppl allow themselves to pass out while deadlifting. That's one of the few lifts you have complete control over. You know whether or not its going to fukk you over a fraction of a second after lifting it. You can bail out before it even reaches your knees with zero risk.
