So what's the #1 secret to great abs that I'm hyping up? It has nothing to do with your diet. C'mon that'll be too predictable. It has nothing to do with genetics. It's not even about having a low body fat percentage (although that is part of the equation). So here it is.
The #1 secret to great abs is Contractions.
What Contractions?
Am I talking about screaming pregnant chicks? What's going on here? Well I did tell you that my secret abs tip wasn't discussed in the mainstream.
So let me explain:
Most people try to get six pack abs by doing "ab exercises." These are exercises like crunches, sit ups, weighted cable crunches, leg raises, etc.. And while these exercises can help build mass in your abs they do very little to contract your abs.
Doing these common ab exercises contract your abs by shortening and lengthening your spine. They are effective to a certain extent but doing too many of these ab exercises could potentially damage your spine and give you bad posture.
If you truly want impressive looking abs you need to do more exercises that contract your abs in a neutral position. The best way to do this is with isometric exercises. Basically isometric exercises are exercises that are done in a static position with no range of motion.
Isometric exercises really train you to contract your abs harder in a neutral position. It's awesome. And if you're able to strongly contract your abs in a neutral position, you will have truly amazing looking abs.
So what are some of the best isometric exercises? My top 3 favorite isometric exercises are the front plank, side plank, and renegade row.
Alright so, at least you guys know that the best way to get a six pack now is by avoiding crunches and focusing on isometric exercises.
Now all you need is to get a program that is based on this approach. I highly recommend Fighter Abs 2.0 by Andrew Raposo.
