For personal health reasons I have to have rather easy session, and I decided to try "breathing workouts". I used Wild Bill's timer. When I had to switch hands I racked the bell and waited for the next ring.
20 kg OA breathing MP:
Interval 11 seconds
3L/3R-5L/5R
Emphasis on good elbow extension
Duration - 3.5 minutes
20 kg OAJ:
Interval 10 seconds
3L/3R-5L/5R-7L/7R
Duration - 5min 50sec
I must say, it feels cool. Forces you to find optimal top position: shoulder rotation, grip, extended elbow. I also think this type of workout is better done on its own, not as an assistance finisher. Now that I think of it, I concentrated on time intervals and totally forgot about breathing. Not so much "breathing" workout after all.

Interesting, I use breathing to pace my reps during timed sets. So 6rpm means three nice, slow breaths in the rack, while 8rpm is only two, etc. It's more about getting into a rhythm for me, than keeping an eye on the second hand...
