nah you want to make the naval as large as possible
breathing into the rib cage does nothing much, it's not a full breath of air.
When done correctly you'll feel pressure on the belt all around, not just the front and even down by the balls. Belt is good to get a feel of this, then you can go without the belt if you like. Some people need a belt to get the feeling of the pressure needed
Thats just expanding your stomach.. Has nothing to do with breathing. Take one of your deep breaths to the gut, then suck your gut in. Does the air coming rushing out of you? No..

This isn't what I wrote. I said 0ni is an idiot. Just calling a spade a spade FFS. If he is going to post idiotic shit then I'm going to label it as such, it's not personal, he's just an idiot and wants to act like one
If is not personal then say "I don't agree with you because. .."
You don't have to resort to insults.
Give it rest.
I dont mean all the way in, but so its not petruding
I have posted this before but thought it may help.
A common cue when squatting and performing other heavy, compound lifts is to "keep your abs tight" or "flex your abs".
Yes, it is true that flexing your abs will increase the stability of your lumbar spine due to cocontractile forces, but that reason alone does not mean it should be done. Part of an evidence-based practice means weighing the risks vs the benefits, and the risks of this commonly advised task are often overlooked.
"However, in light of other research, conscious co-activation of the trunk muscles during the squat exercise may lead to spinal instability and hazardous compression forces in the lumbar spine" (Bressel et al., 2009).
Not only that, but this coactivation will cause the muscles involved to fatigue faster (Gardner-Morse & Stokes, 1998).
Bressel et al. (2009) also supports these findings. Furthermore, Stokes et al. (2011) found that 20% abdominal activation provides no more stability than 10%.
Rather than flexing your abs, it may be more beneficial to concentrate on creating a "big stomach" (pushing your stomach out) through diaphragmatic breathing. This will create more intra-abdominal pressure which will provide up to 31% more support to the lumbar spine compared to resting levels (Hodges et al., 2005). - (cut and paste from https://www.facebook.com/TheStrengthGuys)
Pretty sure doing we do works for me and 0ni. Argue all you like Genics, but you asked for help so you should at least try it.
