you gotta keep it clean you know

Been doing them for about 3 - 4 weeks and I'm already able to move most of my organs up my ribcage (on empty stomach of course).

>Why do it
Tighter core, stronger TVA, makes abs look aesthetic as fuark
>How to do it
Take a deep breath, exhale all your air out of your lungs, then bring your bellybutton to your back (like a valsava, but inwards)
>When to do it
I usually do it at the end of a workout

Why is this not seen as frequently in body building competitions as it used to be in the 70s and 80s?

I've heard the extra strength from vacuuming helps protect organs.

HGH, insulin, and turbo carb loading

how many times and for how long?

10x as long as you can hold it.

The Cat Vomit position is good:

>1. Get on all fours and keep your gaze focused either directly under your head or slightly in front of you. Don't arch your back or strain your neck.

>2. Forcefully exhale from your mouth until all air is fully expelled. Your abs should be contracted from this forceful exhale. Full exhalation is necessary to contract the transverse abdominals, and you'll use gravity to provide resistance.

>3. Hold your breath and pull your belly button upward toward your spine as hard as you can for a target of 8–12 seconds.

>4. Inhale fully through the nose after the 8-12 second hold.

>5. Take one breath cycle of rest (exhale slowly out the mouth, inhale slowly through the nose), then repeat the above for a total of 10 repetitions.
