    Isn’t breathing more about the diaphragm? I mean, you need lungs to breath obviously, but ever tried breathing without moving your diaphragm?

      As a follow up to this, use your stomach muscles to inhale, not your chest. Can get a much deeper breath that way.

          Nope, from what I remember chest breathing is mostly a social adaptation - our instinct as babies/young children is to stomach breath, but we stop doing so over time as our lung capacity can handle it/we observe adults doing so.
