DITCH YOUR 3 MINUTE ABS AND TRAIN YOUR CORE

Your core is responsible for so much in your training--whether directly or indirectly. It's important that you train your WHOLE core and all it's movements so you can get stronger, lift heavier, and move better! In this video I go over all the movements your core is responsible for and how to train those movements. Hope you enjoy!

    This is not you can achieve without steroids. And no, steroids are not only for being huge. Look at her chin, for example: it is getting some male aspects due to the testosterone. Don't copy people, study and develop your training based on how your body reacts to it. You can have some insights from people training, but never copy.

    Best thing I ever did was training abs between sets. Even 10 reps between sets adds up to a big total. Targeting lower abs and obliques more gave me better total results. I'm in my 40s, not huge but cut like a sandwich. I drink beer, eat pizza but just have always trained hard since I was a teenager.

    If you don’t overdue the weighted sidebend it will strengthen your side waist/obliques…the twisting can be problematic if you’re particular structure(s) aren’t favorable for them. Give them both a try and see how they feel.
