How does breathing affect doing things like benching, curling, and sit ups? And does it affect pushups?

You're less likely to injure yourself by breathing with the exertion.

Speaking from the point of view of a powerlifter, breathing helps a great deal, IMO. You want the pressure of the air in your diaphragm; when you reach the "explosive" or "bottom" portion of a lift, releasing the pressure will give you moderate assistance in pushing the weight. Learning breathing techniques has really helped my bench, squat, and dead.
