Carve out those lower abs with ATHLEAN-X - http://athleanx.com/x/absunleashed

factor fiction can you actually train to get your lower abs in that elusive v-taper to show more you absolutely can but you have to do the right exercises and today I’m going to show you three ways to do just that what’s up guys jeff cavaliere athleanx. com that elusive v-taper right the one down here the lower ab region that leads down you know where can you actually train to get that to pop more the answer is yes but first and foremost you have to be able to reveal it right I don’t care if you train the ever-loving crap out of your lower abs if you don’t have a load of my fat level you’re never going to show that so that’s going to start with your nutrition you want to make sure that your nutrition is locked in besides that when we’re talking about actual training though it is possible but you have to change the way that you think about training the lower abs you have to understand that in order to get this area to show more you have to know that there’s multiple muscle groups that are involved and these areas here actually the inguinal ligament there’s sort of a blend of muscles that work their way into either inserting into them this way or running in the same direction and most of all guys that’s the internal and the external obliques so we can’t just think about training and straight one plane lower ab movements if we want to get this to show we have to work on incorporating internal external obliques which is going to be a lot of rotation at the same time and and this is the big one we have to make sure that we work on the muscles that lay underneath that area and that one’s going to be the transverse abdominus which any of you guys who’ve done Pilates or your live do Pilates that’s the muscle that we really focus on and that’s sort of like the weightlifter belt that goes around you this way the point of the fact of the matter is we need to develop that it allows the muscles above here to pop a little bit more so how do we do that all in one exercise well I’m going to show you now and I’m actually going to show you three different ways that you can work it if you put them together or serve if you have a great great low ab workout that’s gonna train your body the way that it’s meant to be trained and that’s what athlean-x is all about guys you remember you gotta train yourself the way the muscles are meant to be trained so what we do is we grab here onto a hanging bar okay and you’re going to grasp your fingers over top of each other and hang down now as you’re going to see the first thing we want to do is remember I said the transverse right here you can already see this contracting because we flatten out the transverse abdominus we do that by almost acting as if you just walked into ice-cold water if you guys walk in ice-cold water you man is freezing right you’d be pulling back in through here which makes this muscle pop because that transverse runs beneath that area so you want to engage that first flattening it out then you’re gonna twist as you can see as soon as I twist the external obliques will contract okay external and internal obliques external on one side over here internal obliques on the other side and then we’ll do our leg lifts so turn and Lynne leg lifts and then down and turn rotate leg lifts down and in rotate leg lifts down and in all right so one great way to do it let’s say you don’t have access to a pull-up bar no problem do it down on the floor so what we’re doing is position ourselves in front of anything that we can just to anchor ourselves on grab up here and when we pull back you get a lot of guys do straight leg reverse crunches whatever you want to call them but we got to get it up at the same time want to pull down on that transverse like we talked about and then we got to get that rotation in there too so it’s up and twist your butt to the left and down okay up and twist all the way to the right and down you feel that lighten up these areas right here finally they take you over to a band exercise you can do to really finish this area off anchor a band low could be around the leg of a couch could be around the bedpost whatever it is get down on the ground a great way to activate the transverse is to get a plank position because in order to hold that posture the right way you got to have the transverse working so you get into a plank your arm reaching out in front of you here like that again pulling up on the ABS to keep your transverse engaged come up rotate drive your knee across your body so here’s that rotation and then the elbow in and then up up up if I show you from the other side looks like this you’ll see that a little bit more here driving you see the rotation and in again driving up and working on that be cut at the same time remember you can get on the show gotta have that dying right doesn’t have to be restrictive it just has to be right and you got to use the right exercises and both of these things are covered with athlean-x training I said if you want to look like an athlete you got to Train like an athlete athletes need internal and external obliques to work with the transverse abdominis to work with the rectus all
