yo Elliot I have been successful with these Vince gironda vacuuming and I am even starting to get these cool striations coming down from my obliques the only things I might add to your presentation is what has helped me out and that is to not associate breathing with the vacuuming or to consider it a gym exercise instead practise it wile driving,shopping ,visiting friends etc.also try it wile expanding the ribs which is why I don't recommend associating it with breathing
Actually the reason that modern builders have large bellies is because they use growth hormone and insulin out the ass. Not really much to do with vacuums. But it sure makes for a catchy youtube video...
lol the reason arnold and friends had tighter waists than modern bodybuilders has nothing to do with vacuums. mega doses of gh + insulin = massive gut, simple as that. good tips tho.
thorcoloumbar fascia is really a back muscle and when trainers get you to do stability exercises on balance boards its to strengthen your muscles stabilizers
@SaosinComeClose abs only show when you have a low enough body fat %, he probably has an extremly strong core abdominal area learn fact before commenting. Motivate yourself dont be lazy
@PwnographyUncut Exactly, that's the point of the exercises hes demonstrating...to get a six pack. Which for your information I already have. That's like saying you can have a bicep or big pectoral muscles, but they're hidden under fat. Actually, your abs get bigger from working out, just like every other muscle. I go to the gym 5 times a week and plan out all my meals. So think about what you're going to say in a reply to someone you don't even know, cheeky cunt.
@sarmenia Right, obviously everyone has abdominal muscles. Some are more visible than others because of body fat percentage. If someone searches for a routine in 'how to get abs', I don't think this would be what they were looking for. The majority of people want ripped six pack abs, nothing more, nothing less. In this case, this is less.
@VivalaKingofIsrael Except I'm not though, I'm making my point. Try and think of something more constructive next time instead of an attempted insult.
@SaosinComeClose whats wrong with u westerners ? Im amazed how u ever achieve anything. You always need motivation from an outside source to do something. Elliot did his job by providing info, the decision to get in shape and the will to do it are yours alone
@mentalshade That was pretty much my thought too when I watched the video. But I know Elliott knows what he's talking about so I tried it. And if you do this right you will feel it in your core, and not in the same way as doing crunches or any other bas exercise.
Hey there! Have you thought about - fast abs magic (just google it)? Ive heard some great things about it and my friend got really defined 6 pack abs and lost a ton of belly fat with it.
The ONLY solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body.
I'm 5'4 weighing 191 and I dnt look that fat I got a hard stomach when I flex but it doesn't show only like the first 2 abs on top max bench 220 by the way and pretty strong legs that can max 850 lbs and I'm 16 yrs old
elliot i have two questions for you 1. should i do this everyday ? 2. ive been doing this for a couple days and im finding i get headaches when im done doing this. why is this happening do you think ?
you CAN do crunches without involvment of the hip joint and therefore no involvment of the psoas. I think youre talking mora about the sit-up type of crunch where ppl use momentum from the hip joint to perform a crunch. Simple solution: lie on a flat bench with the shoulder blades OVER the edge, hook your feet under the bench, so you dont fall from it, now stretch your abdominals and overextend your shoulderblades and upper body down to earth from the bench (dont exagerate this), now crunch
here we see someone with basic personal trainer schooling attempt to explain the benefits of eccentric, concentric movement and the valsalva maneuver without actually knowing what they are called. also bodybuilders and weightlifters who compete in untested federations have protruding bellies because they use steroids and HGH. its informally known as "roid gut"
Will performing these everyday as supplements to my workout split end up preexhausting my core and effecting my lifts negatively? I squat, deadlift, do other various compound exercises twice a week, thats the reason I ask. Or should these be done on my days off
haha really weird excercise elliot! You may also want to try different workouts offered by a site I found recently. Some workouts may not work in other body types. This site I'm talking about is offering programs like losing weight and getting that strong leaner look. Check out my profile to see the link to the site. I can't post it yet here.
Hey Elliot, I had two questions about the video that I'm really interested to hear your opinion about. First, when you say that personal trainers who say to do core stability exercises are wrong, why exactly is that? Aren't you working stability and your abs if you are doing exercises on wobble boards and exercise balls because you have to balance. And this it also works your nervous system? And, when you say exhale and pull your stomach in (5:55), why wouldn't you inhale to pull in? Thanks.
I came across your videos when I was looking for some good explosive workouts for my athletes in san diego... Exactly what I am looking for.. Great exercise!! grea video/s!! Keep it up..
@napischu Yeah i hate most physios on utube because they know fuck all and yeah there cocky! Elliot aint cocky and care's about helping people out and tells it how it is.
I would never hang out with Elliott after the gym. Because if for some reason he didn't get enough nutrition from his protein shake, he will just eat me whole. :-(
After a workout that I did yesterday, I didn't work on my abs at all, yet they kill !! I can't even move without them feeling like they're ripping or like I have 1000lbs on them!?

@MrJackanthony If you are to truely lose weight and get healthier you must realise that everything you say do eat drink and think results in a physical and mental expression/manifestation in your mind and body. If you want to lose weight i suggest you start examining the things you eat, your relationships with others, your life style,how you view the world and everything you do in your life with this simple Q...... is this good or bad for me, the people in my life and the world i live in!

I read about this in a yoga book ages ago. I used to do them over 15 years ago. I was 30 pounds lighter at the time and did not realize their importance when it came to weight training until I started weights 2 months ago. I wear a belt but I quickly realized that my inner core muscles had become very slack from no longer doing the stance I used to use when working. (it is a fantastic way to stand when doing a job that requires one to stand for long hours in the same spot!! )
I have been doing this exercise for two weeks now and I had to add another notch in my belt cuz my waist got smaller. My 36 pants are too loose now so I'm shopping for 34s
sorry bro you need to lead by example if you expect to have followers I am not impressed/know more professional ways to get this vacuum process working right so your missing a lot I hope this helps
Yo Eliot! I've been doing vacuums for a couple days now as often as I can. But I don't feel like I'm doing them correctly. Are there any ques that could help me out? Your squat ques were really useful and I was wondering if you had any similar ones for vacuums. Your videos are really helpful man, keep it up! Thanks for the help!
@mesidonaa one stumbling block to consider is your digestive health... are you pooping regularly, if your colon is stuffed with shit it wont work... also you may have inflammation due to alcohol consumption, prescription drugs, food intolerance, etc.
@strengthcamp I'm not sure how that relates to my question but my digestive health is fine. I refrain from alcohol for the most part and my diet has a lot of fiber. I don't believe I have inflammation. I'm just not sure if I'm performing the exercise correctly, since I can't see myself doing it (like most exercises) I can't tell what my form looks like. Do you have any tips to make sure I'm doing it correctly?
@mesidonaa if your digestive system is dysfunctional, inflammation in the colon creates inhibition of the deep abdominal walls. Also, you may simply be carrying too much intraviceral fat... the best way for me to help you would to do a video analysis... if you upload a video to this post as a response, i'll do an assessment for you, free of charge :)
@mesidonaa cool, i just saw it. first, you really are doing a great job, in fact you could probably use a bit more muscle in the back and shoulders to make your waist look smaller, but that is something you should ask a bodybuilder about... next place your hands on a lower bench and also try to keep your shoulders from shrugging... you really are doing well kid, just keep up your efforts and add some muscle IMO.
@strengthcamp Thanks, I'm trying to add a bit of weight. I was a lot smaller believe me. I'm about 4 months in, I'm just having a bit of trouble with weight because I have a lot of cardio in my routine (from track and field). On my back day I've got deadlifts (5x5), bent-over rows, and seated rows. And my shoulder day I do bench press, shoulder shrugs, OHP, and shoulder press. Am I lacking volume or should I just give it some more time? Btw your deadlifting videos were really helpful!
To continue on my last post... there's a reason Russian sports science is more advanced than ours in America. Yes. using the "anal lock" and tensing your abs is good FOR DOING AB EXERCISES, but not for martial arts or taking hits. Don't believe me? Try tensing up and getting hit by a Systema instructor. I'd bet you a hundred bucks tensing will hurt more.
YO ELLIOT... ever take an anatomy course? Fascia is NOT a muscle and THEREFORE can NOT contract to make you have "flat abs". Fascia merely COVERS your muscles like a SHEATH. You're thinking of your transverse abdominis. The TA is what allows you to maintain intra-abdominal pressure, my friend. And maintaining intra-abdominal pressure is NOT a good idea if you want to take a hit. Hence, the reason why more drunks survive car accidents than sober people that.... TENSE UP. biomechanics.
@StrengthFromAbove83 Yes, I understand that about fascia, and I'm pretty sure that I made that clear in the video, but I talk fast and stumble sometimes so forgive me if I confused this for you. -- I played football, rugby, hockey and martial arts.. I shelled out A LOT of hits in my life. Anyone who has actual experience with hitting knows you had better tense up or you'll get your shit blown apart (non official terminology) -- thanks though.
@strengthcamp I must have misunderstood you. On being hit, I have plenty experience with that subject being that I've been in the military for over 8 years. Again, my challenge to you would be to find a Russian Systema instructor, as him to punch you... and you tense up and see what happens.
@StrengthFromAbove83 Im not sure what a Russian Systema instructor is, but im pretty sure he can kick my ass... so, i won't be challenging one anytime soon.
When you do the abdominal bracing (let's say for squatting or deadlifting) do you also suck your belly and your anus in? Or abdominal bracing is a whole different story?
Hey Heliott I got a strenght question : Im feeling bad sore in my tendons mostly ..everywhere... Is there a Special Way of training to prepare tendons endure HEAVY lifting without having the fear that something ""Pops"" Thank you a lot !
@ArchAngelXIV yea buddy, a lot of martial arts focus on "tendon strength". basically its about building functional mobility into your program (stretching) also nutrition plays a big role, drink lots of water and avoid food that may cause inflamation.
Haha a "crap" load of muscles going on in the "anus"!

@MrJackanthony If you are to truely lose weight and get healthier you must realise that everything you say do eat drink and think results in a physical and mental expression/manifestation in your mind and body. If you want to lose weight i suggest you start examining the things you eat, your relationships with others, your life style,how you view the world and everything you do in your life with this simple Q...... is this good or bad for me, the people in my life and the world i live in!

I read about this in a yoga book ages ago. I used to do them over 15 years ago. I was 30 pounds lighter at the time and did not realize their importance when it came to weight training until I started weights 2 months ago. I wear a belt but I quickly realized that my inner core muscles had become very slack from no longer doing the stance I used to use when working. (it is a fantastic way to stand when doing a job that requires one to stand for long hours in the same spot!! )

Yo Eliot! I've been doing vacuums for a couple days now as often as I can. But I don't feel like I'm doing them correctly. Are there any ques that could help me out? Your squat ques were really useful and I was wondering if you had any similar ones for vacuums. Your videos are really helpful man, keep it up! Thanks for the help!

@mesidonaa one stumbling block to consider is your digestive health... are you pooping regularly, if your colon is stuffed with shit it wont work... also you may have inflammation due to alcohol consumption, prescription drugs, food intolerance, etc.
strengthcamp 1 year ago
@strengthcamp I'm not sure how that relates to my question but my digestive health is fine. I refrain from alcohol for the most part and my diet has a lot of fiber. I don't believe I have inflammation. I'm just not sure if I'm performing the exercise correctly, since I can't see myself doing it (like most exercises) I can't tell what my form looks like. Do you have any tips to make sure I'm doing it correctly?
mesidonaa 1 year ago
@mesidonaa if your digestive system is dysfunctional, inflammation in the colon creates inhibition of the deep abdominal walls. Also, you may simply be carrying too much intraviceral fat... the best way for me to help you would to do a video analysis... if you upload a video to this post as a response, i'll do an assessment for you, free of charge :)
strengthcamp 1 year ago
@strengthcamp I'll post as a video response. Thanks again.
mesidonaa 1 year ago
@mesidonaa cool, i just saw it. first, you really are doing a great job, in fact you could probably use a bit more muscle in the back and shoulders to make your waist look smaller, but that is something you should ask a bodybuilder about... next place your hands on a lower bench and also try to keep your shoulders from shrugging... you really are doing well kid, just keep up your efforts and add some muscle IMO.
strengthcamp 1 year ago
@strengthcamp Thanks, I'm trying to add a bit of weight. I was a lot smaller believe me. I'm about 4 months in, I'm just having a bit of trouble with weight because I have a lot of cardio in my routine (from track and field). On my back day I've got deadlifts (5x5), bent-over rows, and seated rows. And my shoulder day I do bench press, shoulder shrugs, OHP, and shoulder press. Am I lacking volume or should I just give it some more time? Btw your deadlifting videos were really helpful!

To continue on my last post... there's a reason Russian sports science is more advanced than ours in America. Yes. using the "anal lock" and tensing your abs is good FOR DOING AB EXERCISES, but not for martial arts or taking hits. Don't believe me? Try tensing up and getting hit by a Systema instructor. I'd bet you a hundred bucks tensing will hurt more.
StrengthFromAbove83 1 year ago
YO ELLIOT... ever take an anatomy course? Fascia is NOT a muscle and THEREFORE can NOT contract to make you have "flat abs". Fascia merely COVERS your muscles like a SHEATH. You're thinking of your transverse abdominis. The TA is what allows you to maintain intra-abdominal pressure, my friend. And maintaining intra-abdominal pressure is NOT a good idea if you want to take a hit. Hence, the reason why more drunks survive car accidents than sober people that.... TENSE UP. biomechanics.
StrengthFromAbove83 1 year ago
@StrengthFromAbove83 Yes, I understand that about fascia, and I'm pretty sure that I made that clear in the video, but I talk fast and stumble sometimes so forgive me if I confused this for you. -- I played football, rugby, hockey and martial arts.. I shelled out A LOT of hits in my life. Anyone who has actual experience with hitting knows you had better tense up or you'll get your shit blown apart (non official terminology) -- thanks though.
strengthcamp 1 year ago
@strengthcamp I must have misunderstood you. On being hit, I have plenty experience with that subject being that I've been in the military for over 8 years. Again, my challenge to you would be to find a Russian Systema instructor, as him to punch you... and you tense up and see what happens.
StrengthFromAbove83 1 year ago
@StrengthFromAbove83 Im not sure what a Russian Systema instructor is, but im pretty sure he can kick my ass... so, i won't be challenging one anytime soon.

When you do the abdominal bracing (let's say for squatting or deadlifting) do you also suck your belly and your anus in? Or abdominal bracing is a whole different story?

@ArchAngelXIV yea buddy, a lot of martial arts focus on "tendon strength". basically its about building functional mobility into your program (stretching) also nutrition plays a big role, drink lots of water and avoid food that may cause inflamation.
