AB workout


Shawn ray once called bodybuilding "the great art of illusion." Many bodybuilders understand his words too literally and stubbornly shake only muscles that always in mind. The press, understandably, is on the tenth place, because of the world men's fashion short tops are not yet sunk. Meanwhile, the main function of the press is not aesthetic. This muscle group is not accidentally takes on the body center position. It is by value.

Even those who vaguely heard about the functional benefits of press, shake his formally - some twists. This exercise is a pacifier will not name. It raises precisely the large straight muscles of the abdomen. The same one that cut the tendon strips for model cubes. Moreover, the most resistant in twists athletes will report to you the result of the rivers of sweat disheartening news: for some reason, even from thousands of twists the cubes don't grow. This sad secret we will reveal to you later, but for now will acknowledge that even in the absence of external effect of twisting the bodybuilder is very useful. The fact is that when you run absolutely all strength exercises, not counting the actual exercises for abs, he tenses statically. As a result, your waist, which was supple and flexible, suddenly hardens, and becomes a strong pillar of the body. Now, when you perform key basic movements most static load assumes the rectus abdominis. When you earnestly rocked it twists you, it turns out, worked on the improvement of the result in the squat, bower, heavy rods for a back and even bench press.

However, when you do other exercises, the monotony of your approach to training the press goes sideways. You rocked the rest of the abdominal muscles, which include the paired external and internal oblique muscle and transverse muscle. All this intricate musculature of the abdomen is responsible for the equilibrium of the body.

A few words about why twisting does not create a relief cubes. Remember how in childhood you were made of clay ball. You kneaded clay mass from all sides. So it is with cubes press. To obtain a rounded convex shape, line, load, and twisting a little. Have an impact on the cube from all sides. In other words,a diverse and multi-directional load.

Stone press


Starting the AB workout, select one exercise from "Bending", "Bending" and "Turns". Perform the exercises one after the other without rest, and every movement bring the muscle to absolute "failure". (If the exercise requires the additional weight, do the set of 20-25 repetitions.) A cycle of 3 sets (1 set per exercise) should be performed 3 times, resting between cycles no more than 30 seconds. 2-3 workout exercises you need to change to other and then to make a new complex. After 2-3 workouts and change exercises again. Sooner or later you will have to revert to the old movements. If you did the exercise with body weight to "failure", we now apply the weights. Build up resistance to the first training run of 20-25 on the second and third 12-20 8 to 10 repetitions. As burdening use pancakes from the rod, weighted balls and ankle weights on. In separate exercises, you can apply the dampers.

Flexion


Twisting with the ball

Tackles with the ball

Observe the position of the stop on the floor to straight arms for pushups. Shin lay on a medical ball. The body is completely straight.

Turns


This is not to think, but any exercise that involves moving a weight in the hands, and causes associated displacement of the center of gravity. Thus, all power of movement in standing, sitting and even lying down not to lift the barbell or dumbbells, as many people think, but to crazy to retain equilibrium when the shell, weighing sometimes more pounds, well beyond the centerline of the body. About exercises for your legs and say nothing.

However, we will return to the upper limbs. Remember popular lifting on a biceps with a barbell standing up. Naive beginners think, if the weight of the barbell limits the power of the biceps. Actually, the workload determines the strength of the abdominal muscles. They help the body to resist, when you hold the bar in a push up. Otherwise you will tip over forward like a crane, a boom which raised an intolerable burden. Inflate a powerful press, and the weight of the barbell itself will jump by 10%!

It turns out that ignoring the comprehensive training of your stomach, you're hurting the workout the muscles that used to be considered the main. According to conservative estimates, your working weight is behind the greatest possible 5-10%. How can you then not call your technique training is not effective?

Recall that the abdominal muscles perform the movement in 3 planes. The first is called the sagittal and direct means to bring the building to the feet and legs to the body. The second is called the front and comes down to tilting your body to either side. But the third type of movement is rotation of the body.

From the beginning, you need to train the musculature of the press to work the team: the only way they will be better able to keep the balance of the body. This is one of the main rules of an effective workout. Well, for this you need some kind of whirlwind of 3 different movements. Rather Tricity, when the exercises follow one another without rest.

Get the functional steel press, and you will be amazed how much easier it will be to perform exercises that you thought had nothing to press nothing!
