Killer advice! Right on the money! Especially in regards to what Jeff says about the Psoas, and Transverse Abdominal muscles. For several years I was having lots of lower back pain. So I started seeing a physical therapist, and one of the biggest problems he found for me were that I wasn't engaging my core correctly, causing tight hip flexors and a weak Transverse Abominus. Also strengthening my glutes helped a lot! I ended up wanting to go deeper to cultivate a more vibrant, health-focused lifestyle, and came across these Athlean-X videos. They have made a huge difference in not getting re-injured as I have created a much more fittness oriented lifestyle! Thanks Jeff! You're the best!

I'm slim, and my veins are like ropes, and I've got a sixpack. Nevertheless the only time I had somewhat flat lower stomach was once I was working hard physical work and I didn't eat enough (I was in a depression and didn't feel like eating at all, my colleagues all said I ate like a chicken then. I had slimmed as a result even more, so once I show them my abs, just for fun, because the women awed at a Chippendales' caledar: to prove I look better than the Chippendales. And they gape at me nonbelieving. Then I had this flat stomach. You shouldn't forget that most photos in Men's Health and the like industry moneymaker magazines are heavily and I mean really heavily photoshopped.

Jeff, I've looked all over your videos and could not find a solution for a stomach hernia. I have a situation where my rectus abdominis have separated and my linea alba is protruding through. My stomach looks like a tent when I try situps. All I can find is some exercises for women after they have a baby and have something called diastasis recti. I'm a male and didn't have a baby but my stomach has about a 3 inch soft area above the belly button. I've been told that it is the transverse abdominis muscle that needs work, but I don't know what to do.
Any thoughts on doing a stomach / rectus separation fix video?

great, ive had back muscle problems for more than 25 years and its gotten worse since ive aged. tried massage, chiropractor and physical therapy, they showed me a stretch like what you demonstrated however the leg part is all they offered so ill add your twisting and leaning with arms raised and see if i get relief. looks very promising. my back muscle's have gotten so tight at times that ive actually damaged the tendons that attach to my spine that left me bed ridden several times. you've been a major influence to me in diet and strength training that already im able to do so much more, thank you.

Nice video Jeff, was actually suprised when you said you have an hernia (i have a pair myself on low back. I am always looking for ways to improve core strength and stability just as a way to -protect- my back, but I was once told to avoid rotational movements like you did on the stretch part of the video, how that works to you? rotational movement doesn't bother your hernia?
Really like the videos by the way, super thumbs up for all the effort showing the importance of the correct execution and talking a lot about nutrition.

Okay I have no idea how to do ab exercises while sucking in my stomach, like that just places a the work in my back and hurts, but when I clench my abs they stick out like he said, so how am I supposed to clench my abs in a wa that doesnt make them stick out like what? Dont abs naturally stick out when you do crunches/sit ups? Imma just keep doing what I'm doing cause this guy is confusing me -

In ab workouts, we're supposed to cinch down our bellies and exhale when doing the contracting part of an exercise to not make the abs bloated right?
a) What about exercises that require constant contraction such as flutter kicks and regular planks?
b) Should oblique training follow these ab principles? (cinching down your bellies and the answers to question a)

I was under the impression that the distinction between upper and lower abs was a myth, or at least that you can't train one or the other specifically? If this is not the case, and the hanging leg raises train primarily the lower abs, what would you recommend as a complementary exercise to train the upper ones?

First of his videos where i must say that he is COMPLETELY missing the point. #1 reason for not having a flat belly simply is fat. And if you can see your abs and still don't have a flat belly than organ fat is the cause. So Ab Training and hip flexor Stretching will help ya a shit man.

When I started working out I only worked abs! In my ignorance I thought that was all there was to aesthetics. Almost two years later and my abs still stick out past my chest from the side. I'm pretty sure the problem is that my chest is too small in comparison to my mutant abs
