What are /fit/s thoughts on stomach vacuums? Arnie swore by them.

>>41282337
God damnit, I've been wondering about this also.

I motherfucking forgot about them, thanks for reminding me.

From what I read they're great for the V belt

you're never gonna be the next Tom Platz of abs doing cookie cutter shit like this

>>41282337
For real though

I do these during basic stretches and when I'm doing easy lifts.
And sometimes whenever I'm sitting/standing around not doing much.

There are no downsides to it, and it trains that band of muscle right above the abs to stay nice and tight.
i.e. it helps you not have abs that stick out far from your gut like a fucking mong

so i'm just holding my breath for a minute or what?
I get what I'm "supposed" to do but I don't see how this could be an effective exercise nor how it could reduce my waistline in 3 weeks

>>41283640
Yup. Fixed that nasty gut look for me.

trains the transverse abdominals. Its what packs in your in abdomin. The abs are slightly convex, so when they get real big, you get turtle gut. The transverse abdominals brings them back in

It's a legitimate practice that's fucking millennia old. Yogi and monks have been doing this shit forever to maintain proper posture and improve cardiovascular health. Anyone who says anything against vacuums and diaphragm breathing is a gains goblin and you need to notify your nearest gym's court wizard.

Stomach vacuums are a yogic cleansing technique that is really good for you. It massages your organs, which has a detoxifying effect. It's really good for bloating and digestion problems too. Your not gonna get abs from doing them. But they have a bunch of great benefits. The original name is uddiyana bandha.

Here is a video of a hot girl doing uddiyana and nauli, which is a more advanced version.

I do uddiyana every morning. They should only be done on an empty stomach.

I honestly think this should be on the sticky. Its so simple, easy and efficient, everybody should know about it

>>41283669
so unless i have big abs and like 10%bf these will do fuck all for aesthetics?

>>41282337
I do them.
I think they help keeping the waist tight, and they're so fucking easy there really isnt a reason not too.

The thing where she's moving her hips looks weird as fuck

Is this one of those things that is going to release mustard gas?

>>41282337
I already have wide hips. Would rather have a thicker waist and go fridge mode.

>>41283732
stupid question, because if you don't have those, you have no aesthetics to begin with
