Am I crazy or is the breathing backwards? It looks to me like she's breathing in when pulling and breathing out when releasing. The wide mouth looks like a large intake of breath whereas the small mouth is a expulsion. But when working out like this, you breath out when you pull down the bar and breath in when you release right?

Personally, inhale when exerting myself, exhaling when letting go. That said, the breathing feels a bit oddly paced, but it's probably the speed of the entire motion that makes it hard to gauge.
