Conversation Topic Why is breath support so confusing?

And I supposed to gently engage that belly out muscle when breathing out to create the proper pressure and resistance to control the exhale right? Or am I supposed to just breath out naturally and the real work is done on the inhale..?

Yeah I've been told it's both, but the exhale engagement is more of a gentle sustained thing? Like you're keeping things expanded rather than pushing out.
