Hey Jeff I just made pasta but my cheese grader broke. Do you mind if I
borrow your abs for this parmigiano?
What confused me about this is that you blow out the air, in order to make
your stomach collapse, BUT THEN YOU IMMEDIATELY SUCK THE AIR BACK IN (some
of it? all of it?) — while keeping your stomach collapsed — and then
start slowly letting the air out again. When you say “suck in,” I thought
you meant suck in your abs, but I guess you meant your abs AND your breath.
From the other comments, I don’t think I’m the only one who was unclear
about this breathing sequence.
What particularly caught my attention, though, was the idea that you can
have abs that look flat from the front but which seem to protrude a bit
when viewed from the side (4:31). I think I have a hint of that phenomenon
but have been unclear what the problem was. I thought I just had too much
fat (though I’m pretty lean), and I even cut a few calories. But I then
came to think that even if I peeled all the fat and skin away, the muscle
would still have that slightly protruding shape (with the problem even more
pronounced when I’m sitting). I thought maybe the muscle got too big and so
stuck out a bit. Then I thought maybe it was bloat. But you raised a new
possibility: that some underlying part of the muscle isn’t properly
developed. I’ve never heard anyone address that issue before and would like
to hear more.
I actually get distracted by how huge your arms are lol
what if i shit myself
Jeff, what do you think of “Signalling Training”, which Tom Hardy used for
Bronson?
Modified Stomach Vacuum that doesn’t suck. Lol
See what you did there Jeff .
I just started Athlean-X, including the meal plan. I’m starving. I’m 18,
only 5’6″, 130 lb male, but I’m so damn hungry. I’m on the 4th day, and if
I haven’t mentioned it, I’m starving. Do I need to be this hungry, or can I
eat a boat load of healthy food?
I can do vacuum already pose :))
Reminds me of the boxing stance.
My belly is tucked deep inside, and doing side movements with the upper
body and counter attack.
instructions were no clear, I ended up doing a poo in my pant
Old school bodybuilders were the best
Jeff, for the exercise, are we intending for Spinal Rotation or simply Hip
Rotation with no Spinal Rotation?
I didnt understand
How do you keep your testicles from raising up during this vacuum exercise?
Hi Jeff, can you do a video on your view with regards to carbs. You have
mentioned before to delay carbs post workout for greater anabolic growth
influence. I also have read not to eat carbs before training for the same
reasons. That leaves not many opportunities to eat carbs. I train daily
around 11am. What would be optimal? Thanks for your great info. Also, I’m
trying to gain muscle as I am pretty lean already.
What about doing Pilates to strengthen those inner core muscles?
Wow havent felt my abs, especially the lowers; engaged that well in a long
time.
Jeff how is your stomach so damn pushed in. It just baffles me everytime I
see it. I don’t see anyone else with the stomach so much damn pushed in,
even at low bodyfats people have stomachs that tend to pop out at times or
otherwise its flat. Not so pushed back like you, if you know what I mean.
It almost looks like u have no organs inside or never eat. Do you like suck
in your stomach throughout the video? If no how do I get a waist like that?
Ugh I try ta implement this technique, with all my major lifts.
Core everyday, indirect or direct.
I am assuming this will help me with basic energy transition. What was it
called it; kinetic chain? Thanks for all the videos, I really like the
tornado push up; you had demonstrated, in a few vids back. A top five next
to 1arm push ups and of course burpees.
you’re getting shredded like hell!!!!
You say you guys train like athletes but your biceps tell the opposite.
Great video anyway. Thanks.
How many ‘sets’ are ideal?
Hey, Jeff, I just started up college and I’m trying to eat as healthy as
possible. That said, a lot of the food is pretty high in sodium (probably
so it would last longer). How much is too much sodium and what affects will
it have on me? Also, I’d love a video on the different types of sugars and
how the body processes them. Thank you so much! – Max
As a professional singer, I use a similar exercise. The one bit of
confusion from Jeff’s explanation was to use the word “suck” for that last
final squeeze of the transverse abs. “Suck” implies inhaling, and you do
NOT inhale to max out the transverse ab. You SQUEEZE, which forces a
maximum EXhale. The Transverse AB is the same muscle that powers two
important involuntary actions that all of us do…the sneeze, and the cough
that comes when you accidentally inhale some food or drink. In short, the
“stomach vacuum” shouldn’t ever involve any INhaling. It’s a squeeze, not
a suck. (that sounds perverted!)
I have got of of loose skin after a huge weight loss i don’t know what to
do…
