@joshuamanoi: How to do a Stomach Vacuum⚡️ As you all know, I often incorporate vacuums in my posing videos & photos! Doing a stomach vacuum is something that has been utilized for decades not only in the bodybuilding world for aesthetic purposes, but in physical therapy, as well. Here’s are the steps to help you learn the vacuum! HOW🧐 1. Take a deep breath. 2. Exhale completely. 3. Contract lower abdomen & pull bellybutton inward to the spine. 4. Hold for as long as possible. WHEN🕰️ - The best time to practice a vacuum is on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning! Here’a an easy rule of thumb - the less food in your stomach, the easier it’ll be to pull in. WHY📝 - Stomach vacuums are beneficial for many reasons like strengthening your core by training your Transversus Abdominis; a corset-like muscle that forms the deepest layer of abdominal muscles, which is responsible for helping stabilize the spine & prevent excessive loading that can cause injury. In the sport of bodybuilding, doing a stomach vacuum can create the visual of a smaller waistline, thus displaying the X-Factor that is so commonly sought after by competitors. Also, training this area of abdominal muscle will give you more control over your core & assist you effectively in explosive lifts! I hope this helps! Have an amazing Thursday, family!🤙🏽
