Yes, that's what I meant, but after breathing out. Holding an inhaled breath does keep your trunk stiffer, but breathing in also increases your pulse rate, and hence the slight shake in your hands that goes with it. There is also an increase in muscle tension, that can lead to tremor. Holding an exhaled breath, which I prefer, slows the pulse, reducing that shake, and also helps relax the muscles of your upper body, reducing any tension tremor.
