Quick Tip for Amazing Abs

[BigD]

Here’s an ab technique that’s been around for years, but you may not have heard about. When doing your ab exercises, make a conscious effort to keep your tongue firmly on the roof of your mouth. That’s right—your tongue on the roof of your mouth!

Not only does this place the muscles in your neck in a biomechanically stronger and therefore less vulnerable position, but also there’s some good magnetic imaging evidence which suggest that this simple technique may enable your body to recruit more muscle fibers in the abdominal region. And utilizing more muscle fibers translates into greater development and definition. I know it sounds odd, but it works and that my friends is what counts.

Interesting tip. Question though...I was always told to breathe through my mouth and blow out hard when I'm coming up...is that just b.s.?

Well BigD, thanks a whole lot for making me shit my pants. You must be real proud of yourself now.

But seriously, i thought it was pure bullshit, today wasn't an ab day for me but i had to try it. And thats about when i shit my pants. I seriously can't beleive how some stupid little thing like this can make such a huge difference. I'm still not quite sure why it makes such an incredible difference but hey besides the shit in my pants i'm not complaining.

You can still roof your tongue when you exahle hard while contracting the abdominals. Boxers, and most other athletes, use this technique. That's why you hear that 'sssss' sound when you see a boxer throw a punch. This technique is a major building block for any explosive athletic movement because it conditions you to have a stable torso. While exhaling during any forceful movement you should maintain abdominal tension. It can take some practice for some people to be able to feel the difference but most will notice right away.

, Try doing cardio keeping a heartrate of 140+ for 30 mins wearing a mouthguard. First time I did this I thought I was going to die, but you realize it's all in your head. You think you aren't getting air but you are.
