    You know what's funny, they may be called Arnold vacuums but I started doing them when I was in grade school back in the 70s. No one told me about them. I knew I was not FAT but I had a little bit of a gut so I figured if I concentrated on holding it in eventually it would get flatter; the muscles would learn to stay in instead of being extended out.

    I remember one kid trying to give me sh*t on the playground during PE once. He and said you are holding your stomach in. I said Yes and explained my theory. He stopped laughing.

    I have not done these for quite a while but yes they work. Time to start up again.....

    I'll tell you why bro, cause Arnold is a tad older than you and HE was doing vacuums in grade school.

    I'm kidding...I think he just made them famous.

    Yes he is a LITTLE older than me but when I was in grade school I had never head of him and neither had most people.
