Stomach vacuums, l-sits and levers completely changed my core and how I look, bummed I didn't do these movements when I was younger.

[@jimlucas0]

Those are great exercises. Such a shame I can't reappy do them with my back... even doing a vacuum and flexing my abs hurts my lower back.

[@Retodd._.]

I don’t even understand how you get to the point where you can do l-sits and levers

[@antoniaosborne4972]

Stomach vacuum?

[@johnnysanchez4996]

That shit doesn’t work. Do heavy deadlifts and Squats.

[@Sky-Frogs]

@@antoniaosborne4972 Combination of breath control and posture to pull in the mid section. Here is their instructional video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJizqquEarZ8fdU

Full blown, fast as you can sprints. Hands down best AB workout.

[@NathanRhwmf]

something they didn’t really discuss that you hear competitors that step on stage is gut health. digestion is a massive component alongside the things they discussed imo

[@mishmohd]

I wish more people adopt Nicole's attitude. great vibe.

[@Leah-xv3zf]

Such great tips...I love you guys. Hands down, one of the best health and fitness podcasts

[@jjhondoe3016]

I have found that staying at a healthy body fat% instead of dirty bulking and cutting helped with losing body fat around the waist

[@TheArtofBlues]

Sprints! Sprints! Sprints! Make sure you learn proper form. Thats the answer

[@nguyenppl]

Omg mindpump please elaborate on this!!!!

[@Ruudwardt]

Chin-ups and weighted chin-ups. Fantastic abs (all anterior core) workout that not many people know. I could do dragon flag without any specific abs workout after half a year of w-chin-ups. Someone somewhere made a muscle activation study showing highest abs activation with chin-ups out of all possible abs related exercises. (rumor-anec-data) Also anything on gymnastic rings, rope climbing is torture for core. The biggest plus is that most of these are not 'abs' workouts. For strength only L-sit hold, and leg raises on bar are great for beginners to intermediate.

[@yes4989]

Weighted planks, weighted side planks and back extension variants is all you need for core and that's on everything

[@koenc]

They make your core defenitely stronger, but from personal experience I can say they make it also bigger . Which is logical if you build more muscle mass all around your core .

[@emmanueloluga9770]

@@koenc They dont make it bigger, not bracing properly makes the core bigger.

[@SHFTChannel]

[@golazo]

Nicole was annoying. seems like the kind of person who thinks the flag is racist, and shouts at people for not double masking

[@koenc]

The guy in the red T-shirt always seems to know what he talks about and maybe not coincidentally looks the best as well ..

[@noahtt3366]

Adam the bald one competed as an ifbb bodybuilder and got his pro card and justin the one in the flannel has worked with many athletes while sal does a lot of research and worked with clients for general health the most they all know what they’re talking about they just have a different less of specific knowledg

[@arianagm2332]

Lol maybe that's why you think he sounds like he knows what he's talking about!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤦

[@Chris-lp8mz]

Sal is the most knowledgeable for sure

[@Guitarfit]

I don’t train my Abs much due to the fact that they get trained with other exercises throughout the week, I don’t have a six pack but I do see definition, the biggest thing I have found is diet and cardio plus resistance training all work together. Sometimes I see that if I’m holding more water I look fatter so I don’t fuss to much, here’s a tip, look at yourself in the mirror in the morning before you eat, you will see that this is probably the best you are going to look for the rest of the day….why? Because food, water, work get in the way of a flat stomach.

[@RealMattKiefer]

This 100x

[@kyledan9405]

"pushing the levels of how lean i was". what does it mean? cutting even more calories? doing more cardio? i'm a man,41 yo, 168cm, 62 kg, doing home bodyweight training and kettlebells daily except sunday, i walk around 10k steps a day and 5000 steps slow jogging , i eat around 1400 calories daily, and i'm losing weight since february. i lost 9 kgs and i have the same problem with the pouch. any advice , please :)

[@jamesbrylevillareal8788]

How long have you been on a cut? It helps to have a refeed week

[@kyledan9405]

@@jamesbrylevillareal8788 since february. but i have refeeding days, once, max twice a week, on weekends, eating at maintenance calories. but my average daily caloric intake is around 1400 kcal. i tried a diet break once, in april, but i felt i loose control , so, no more breaks for me :))

[@MICHAELPHILIPSINC]

Just a little observation. I think your calorie intake may be too low. A good calorie calculator can help you.

[@dannyruiz3329]

Ditto to Michael Philips - your caloric intake is waaay too low for a man, even on a fat loss program. You can negatively harm your T levels and your overall health. Just eat 2k daily, then be at a caloric deficit at 200-300 calories.

[@benz1378]

Stop eating low as 1400 cals, its ruining your metabolism, switch to 2000 cals or 1900 cals before its too late or else your metabolism can get adapted to 1400 cals making it lower for you to lose weight

[@nicholaswoods4055]

Nicole def got around crazy in college

[@Justin-be6so]

Lmao

[@holyduo688]

Yea for women I think it’s actually engaging their core, not about doing more a abdominal stuff. Have you seen how they walk around, no core engagement. Just learn to engage your core ladies. Great advice men.

[@india1846]

yep. Women tend to have pelvic tilts and it just puts stress on their lower back

[@tylervincent2559]

Sal, where did you get that shirt man? I like it

[@antoniaosborne4972]

So glad you emphasise this with females - its so widespread and what is the pursuit of such low fat all about it? Me included

[@markkfitx]

I’m from Jersey as well and I can even hear the accent coming from her 😂😂😂

[@MoonkeeYT]

I know they weren't but they looked really annoyed while she was talking at the beginning lol

[@tilfliegel]

My wife had great success leaning her waist with hula hoop. Not sure how it works, but it does seem to do, what most people say is impossible: spot reduce fat.

[@uelude]

Increasing daily calorie burn rate utilises the fat, and tightening the transabdominal muscles etc slims the waist.

[@Bossanovawitcha]

I just don’t know why people focus on vanity if they’re healthier we just need to keep focus on that you guys do a great job

[@gretchengeorge5302]

They’re getting the benefit of it either way. People should focus more on themselves than worry about what a stranger is doing and why they’re doing it.

[@Bossanovawitcha]

@@gretchengeorge5302 If you think that is creating a healthier society you’re welcome to your opinion but I think it’s part of the problem not the solution

[@arianagm2332]

There's nothing wrong with wanting your body to LOOK a certainty way, hopefully you are healthy already but it's perfectly okay to fine tune an area of your body that you want to! Especially she's asking how to do it naturally that's great!

How do you do stomach vacuum??

[@dubz99]

Its like liposuction but you do it yourself at home with a vacuum cleaner

[@reneptune]

@@dubz99 yo stop 🤣🤣🤣

[@cm5066]

Lol clen is the only way.. 😂

[@sahusmc10]

You don’t need to do anything else. If you want a flatter belly and strong core: Be in a calorie deficit, cardio that you enjoy doing and going to be consistent with, and weightlifting. Don’t listen to all the other BS. You can also build muscle while being in a calorie deficit. Want to get lean? Eat less...

[@blaquenguni9249]

I hope no one takes this bs you wrote seriously. Stomach vaccums, fixing your posture (if your you have a pelvic tilt) can take your core to a completely different level aesthetically

[@davidaldair613]

Well, it's not B.S but you arent wrong either.
