Stomach vacuum
On Jow Forums everything is.
both
whats it supposed to do?
clean the floors in buildings
>guy tries to hit you in the abs
>turn 90 degrees, suck in stomach
>guy misses his blow and loses balance
>falls to the floor
It's a self defence technique
Yeah just do them when you’re at work or driving or something.
it's a pose what else is it supposed to do?
you pull in your abs to make your waist look smaller when posing thats it
It demonstrates your leanness/conditioning by showing off separation between the biceps and the triceps and it draws the eye to the upper torso, so it highlights serratus, lat, and pectoral development and leanness.
so nothing then?
it makes your inner organs stronger
"The Stomach Vacuum is an isometric contraction (tenses the muscle without moving it) of the Transversus Abdominus. A stronger Transversus Abdominus can create a stronger Valsalva Maneuver (the powerful exhale necessary to contract a muscle during an intense workload). This is one of the best exercises you can perform to shrink your waistline in a very short amount of time. Many can knock 2 to 4 inches off their midsection in as little as 3 weeks with this technique. Also, building this area of the abdominal muscle will help you gain more control over your "abs" and assist you better in explosive lifts. Stomach Vacuums take practice, but they are extremely effective."

>This is one of the best exercises you can perform to shrink your waistline in a very short amount of time
>spot reduction
I shouldn't have to say this, but training a muscle so it has increased tonus =/= spot reduction
>stomach vacuum to avoid getting hit
>direct hit anyway
>full impact straight into internal organs
You seem like a fun guy.
Who said anything about fat, you fucking retard? A naturally contracted transverse abdominus will lead to a thinner waist line
The effects are permanent tho? My waist line looks thinner since i've started to do it and i hope it is permanent
Yes. Think of your muscles like a spring. The stronger the spring, the tighter it is, even while you're not actively contracting it.
This is also the reason why keeping your bent over row in line with your bench is important for shoulder health
You have to go back.
I have a naturally wide waist and even though I've been doing it for months, my waist hasn't shrunk by even a cm even though I've watched many videos on how to do it properly. Am I retarded? Feels like I'm going to be fridge mode forever. How do people even manage to bring in their stomach as much as OP's pic? Any tips to get better at it? Pls respond
yeah but stay the fuck away from them if you have a big waist
Why?
Made me laugh
>Not using the vortex you just created to of balance your attacker
do you even want to make it, user?
>thinking it means losing fat
>unironic Bill Nye poster
>also a brainlet
checks out
as opposed to outer organs?
Yeah it doesn't do anything for your skin at all.
or beenis
I used to do stomach vacumes and make waves with my stomach all the time as a kid, i never knew it was a legit thing
>not quickly expanding your stomach the moment of impact, smashing your opponent's fist
