Want to turn any ab workout into a supercharged abs workout capable of bringing the burn in a lot fewer reps? Then you better stop focusing on just the ab muscles that you can see and start paying attention to the ones you can-t. In this video, I show you an ab workout booster that you can use on every single ab exercise to make it instantly harder and at the same time, more effective. Most people train their abs and worry only about getting from point a to point b. They don-t consciously contract their abdominal muscles and think that just completing the motion is all that is needed. This is incorrect. Beyond that, it-s not enough to just focus your contraction on your rectus abdominus. In order to get the most out of every rep in your ab workouts you have to learn to first contract the transverse abdominus muscle. The transverse abdominus is the muscle that runs side to side and is positioned inferior and deeper than the rectus (the more popular 6 pack muscle. The role of this muscle is to act as an internal stabilizer of your abs and to cinch the waist tighter. You can contract this by imagining pulling your belly button into your spine, or thinking how you would react if you just suddenly stepped into an ice cold pool. Once contracted, you have to hold the contraction the entire time that you perform every rep of your given ab exercise. The cool part about this is that it works on every single ab exercise that you do. If you like to do hanging ab exercises in your abs workouts, this will work with them. If you prefer to do ground based planks and other ab exercises in your 6 pack workouts, this will work with them as well. The key is that you can-t forget to contract this muscle and hold it or you are simply counting reps that won-t help as much as they can in the long run. Now that said, if you want to develop an impressive set of six pack abs you obviously have to have your nutrition in check. No amount of exercise is going to show off those abs if you have a layer of fat covering them up. However, we don-t overlook that at athleanx. In fact, I provide you with the exact same ab revealing meal plan that I follow in my ATHLEAN-X Training System available at

I feel there is a problem when it comes to breathing and doing this activation of the TVM.
Yes, in the sidetwists kind of exercises there may be a good point of doing this.
But in the very demanding leglifts or other exercises won't this limit the amount of work you can do just because you can't breath properly?
I mean if you are striving to keep -the inner pressure- at high all the time (to flatten the stomach) that goes against -breating with you stomach- which is always the advise given when you want to relax and be stress free.
Also very important when doing intense sprinting intervalls (lets say 30 work +30 rest)where you just can't do it when drawing in the bottom part of the stomach.
Just to make an extreme example with the deadlifts.
There I have learnt to take a big breath and hold it during the pulling part.
This is called the Vasalva manouver and it basically makes you lift more weight.
To combine that with drawing in the stomach would almost be impossible for me when doing high reps (10+.

When he says it makes a hell of a difference, he's NOT lying. I've been working out my abdomens for months and i wasn't getting anywhere at all. No progress. After ONLY 2 days of using this method, they are sore and I can definitely see a difference in my stomach. He's explained this in another ab workout video, If you need help getting this -tense- feeling in your stomach do this. Suck in air, hold your breath, and push your stomach out. You should feel your stomach be a little more tense. Do all of your ab workouts using this tense feeling and I guarantee you will realize a difference. I went from months of training and feeling no soreness to two days with my abs killing me. Just make sure if your using my -hold your breath- method, take the time to stop your rep and breath out, and then hold it in again. I use this method for leg lifts, bicycle kicks, crunches, and sit-ups. If sit-ups are easy to you, try it this way. Guarantee you'll feel them much more and will instantly better

Can you do another video for the lats and the fact that i feel my Biceps instead of my lats while doing pullups and lat pulldowns? I know you've made a video with a ankle band but unfortunately our gym has not all the same stuff as you do, we have only 1 ankle band. So i would like to know if there is any other way to decrease the bicep use and increase the use of the lats because everytime i do such exercises i feel nothing in my lats but my biceps hurt like hell. I usually have more muscle soreness in my Biceps the day after a Back workout than the day after a bicep workout LOL

Jeff, you made a video before that back pain is caused by the hip flexors dominating the abs and not allowing them to do the movement. I get this back pain almost every workout even if I don't do direct ab exercises (Just doing planks/push ups/pull ups/squats) and I contract the transverses abs as hard as I can. I even practice pulling the belly button in towards the spine like you said. :/ what could possibly be wrong?
reply

you know I've always wondered how you're supposed to contract your abs but I could find any help. I looked at various videos in hopes of a trainer explaining it, I've asked people at the gym but I was still confused left unsure. I was told to flex your abs as if you're the angry hulk.
thank you for showing exactly how it's to be done. Belly button towards the spine. subscribing

Great Video!
Can you please make a full body stretch video I can do before I go to bed please? I want to be more flexible and I want to do the right stretches. I have been asking for this video for months now! I hope you read this soon. Thank you Jeff

reply

Hey Jeff, for another video, can you discuss fast twitch muscle fibers vs the opposite? Does this require the use of lighter weights or maximum intensity with control?
I'm a bit ignorant on this topic so I hope my questions make sense.
Thanks
