In general, a decent strategy is to maintain a breath hold during the lowering, or eccentric, or most dangerous part of the movement, and then you can exhale on the concentric portion.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

If you're doing more than that, especially three to four to five to seven, eight, you're going to have to have some breathing strategy. A very common one is probably every third breath I'm going to do like [gasping], exhale on the third. Reset and re-breathe. Something like that.
exhaling on the concentric portion during it it is fine it's no problem um especially if you're not extremely heavy
If you're going to do a single rep, you don't need to worry about it. You you can just avoid or omit breathing entirely. You're going to be just fine.
