The SECRET To Bruce Lee’s ABS…
Published: Fri, 06/26/15
want but if you don’t have a sweet set of 6 pack
abs you’ve got nothing, right? Even more...
Whether you like it or not, your abs are not
only the root of all your strength, they’re also
the #1 group of muscles that people use to
judge whether you’re “in shape” or not. And...
Today, I want to share with you the ab training
SECRET you can use to build the 6 pack abs
you always wanted! Now...
Before you roll your eyes and think I’m about
to share with you some carb cycling, ab revealing
diet trick, I wanna assure you that these ab training
secrets are about the training methods that build
6 pack abs NOT fat loss diet strategies.
Ok, now that we’re clear on what you can expect
from this article, Let’s dig in…
Bruce Lee, perhaps one of the most shredded
guys to ever walk the earth has a famous saying,
"Absorb what is useful. Reject what is useless.”
This is EXTREMELY important when it comes
to ab training because… well… most of it is useless!
Let’s start with the stuff you should avoid then talk
about the ab training secrets that will give you the
6 pack you really want, Sounds good?
In the past, you and I were told that high volume
ab training routines like doing 1,000 crunches a
day was the secret to a strong shredded core. And...
Trust me when I say that these programs do NOT work!
I fell for the 1,000 crunches a day routine about a
decade ago and the only thing I got was a sore neck
and a patch of skin missing on my backside :-(
The good news is...
Recently there’s been a TON of research coming
out of Europe about the true function of your abs
that’s basically proven the high volume theory to be
wrong!
These studies performed by world renowned spine
health expert Dr. Stuart McGill have shown:
“Herniation (posterior and posterior-lateral regions
of the annulus) occurred with relatively modest joint
compression but with highly repetitive flexion/extension
moments. Increased magnitudes of axial compressive
force resulted in more frequent and more severe disc
injuries.”
Reference: Callaghan, J.P., and McGill, S.M. (2001)
Intervertebral disc herniation: Studies on a porcine
model exposed to highly repetitive flexion/extension
motion with compressive force. Clin. Biom. 16(1): 28‐37.
What this means is that these high volume, outdated
exercise routines wont give you the 6 pack results you
want and can actually cause disk herniation!
If we’re gonna listen to Mr. Lee’s advice, the first
thing we should do is discard outdated and potentially
dangerous routines like the ones we are used to hearing
about, right?
Now it’s time to absorb what’s useful...
I’ve recently come across some European research
that seems to show the true function of your abdominal
muscles. And...
This research points out that the best ways to activate
your ab muscles so you can dramatically boost your
core strength and get the best 6 pack results in the gym!
For example...
Did you know that your abs are actually supposed to
fire before you make any movement?
Literally, before you lift your arm, the responsibility of
your abs is to stabilize your spine and “brace” for
movement. In fact...
A new study done by Pavel Kholar at the ELITE Prague
School Of Rehabilitation says, “prior to any movement,
the core needs to brace.”
Reference: Kobesova A, Kolar P. Developmental
Kinesiology: Three Levels of Motor Control in the
Assessment and Treatment of the Motor System. Journal
of Bodywork and Movement Therapies. 2014;18(1):23-33.
These 2 facts tell you that the main responsibility of your
abs is NOT to move your torso like in a crunch or sit-up,
but rather to stabilize your spine. So...
Let me share with you 2 exercises that will help you build
strong stable abs and get you one step closer to a 6 pack…
The first exercise you can try is an elbow plank on a swiss
ball. When you do this exercise, you’ll instantly feel all of
the stabilizer muscles of your abs working hard to support
your body and keep your spine protected. And...
My other favorite exercise is called the alternating lying
leg raise. Just lie down on your back with your legs together
and feet towards the sky, keep your lower back glued to the
ground and lower one leg slowly toward the ground, then
alternate.
While these are great exercises for developing your core
muscles, I want to introduce you to an ab training method
based on the science I just shared with you that may be the
real key to building strong 6 pack abs...
This ab training technique is called a Core Activation Sequence
and to be honest I only recently came across these exercises
when my friend Tyler introduced me to their creator Dr. James
Vegher.
The reality is you can develop a strong 6 pack using the exercises
I shared with you above but the results will pale in comparison
to what you’ll get when you use the Core Activation Sequences
Dr. Vegher teaches. You can learn more about these Core
Activation Sequences and build a 6 pack even faster here…
