Now bear with me, because I have to get very specific as far as our muscles are concerned. The diaphragm, intercostals, transverse abdominis, and obliques are among the primary muscles of breathing. For the inhale, the main muscles of inspiration are the diaphragm and outer intercostals, whereas for the exhale, it's the inner intercostals, obliques, and abs. The sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, and upper pecs are accessory muscles, but modern man is using auxiliary muscles as primary muscles. And this change happens at a very specific age. In a 2017 Men's Fitness article on breathing, author and colleague Sean Hyson aptly described how the perfect childhood breath becomes "corrupted."5 Last year, I conducted a study on 158 children ages 2-11 and found that the age of change from an anatomically perfect breath to a mimicking, dysfunctional one occurs at exactly five and a half years of age. Prior to that age, children breathe using their diaphragm without shame or bracing. What causes the change? Starting to sit, spending less time on the floor, imitating parents and superheroes, stress, and shame about weight/body image--in short, bracing, guarding, and sucking it in. What is your story? What are the myths or experiences that have affected your breathing?

Take any machine and disconnect a main component from the engine. In the case of a human being, the main component would be the large muscle right underneath the heart and above the entire digestive system--the diaphragm. The ripple of dysfunction would spread from high to low; as a result, the consequences are so far from the source one may not recognize it. Your endurance not being what it used to be, that nagging back pain ... and you don't complain, but rather just keep disconnecting, numbing out, or justifying it as old age, bad genes, or bad luck.

Interviewers ask a number of control questions during the lie detector test and then compare the responses to the key questions.

Do you really understand the mechanics of your breathing muscles? A complex interplay exists during inhalation: The diaphragm flattens and the increased intra-abdominal pressure causes an outward expansion of the abdomen. As the diaphragm continues to move, its attachment to the lower ribs causes the lower ribs to expand horizontally. In other words, the rib cage opens. Make sure you can visualize this in your mind's eye.

A dysfunctional breathing pattern exists when there is minimal circumferential (meaning some ribs and belly) expansion, which is called "excursion," and when auxiliary muscles dominate. When this pattern becomes engrained, the diaphragm loses its dominance, and becomes "inhibited."
