I rarely practised breathwork in my life but during my final year of high school I was basically locked in my house, and got a vitamin D deficiencey (quelle surprise) so I took up doing breathing meditation in a public park, and that really worked for me in a highly stressful period of time in my life, which got me some very good results, aced my exams, got into a decent college. I don't think I have applied myself as dedicated to anything as intensely as I did. I regret not making it a daily habit in my life, unlike gymming. Although I still sort of deep exhalations in highly stressful situations but thats about it. Also if you count breathing in and out during heavy lifts, that helps a lot too in my form, especially during squats.

What kind of breathwork? Is it kind of the same as box breathing? That’s breathing in for four seconds, holding it in for four, exhaling and pausing all for four seconds.
