In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses the anatomy of the muscle that forms the 6-pack as well as other important abdominal muscles such as the obliques and transversus abdominis. He discuss the functions of these muscles, from the movements they produce and how they help with posture and stabilizing the spine. He also discusses different exercise protocols for muscular endurance vs hypertrophy, as well as what influences the visibility of these muscles.

Somehow these anatomy in depth videos motivate me to work out more than a fitness/gym instructor ever could. Maybe it's because I'm fascinated to really see the marvelous structures and the interaction between muscles, which makes me want to "maintain" them, if that makes sense.

[blindeagle]

For the first time in history, fitness instructors all over the world will start to wonder, 'how come my students/trainees are able to teach me details on sixpack science'!!!
I love how both of u teach us in depth details in the easiest ways to understand, without losing a smile on ur faces.
I love all the videos I've watched upto now.

From across the world.
Thank You, both.

The oblique muscles were so well explained! That all made more sense than when other people tried explaining how they operate in different movements. Thanks for the video, Jonathan!

[M.JudgesRemixed]

Love that these videos are so anatomically thorough.

I say this as a body builder; this is an excellent resource you have put together.

[jungdoc]

Wish I discovered you guys back when I was in my gross anatomy course in medical school. You weave fitness and anatomy perfectly together. You make the concepts intuitive and easy to learn.

[lucaforni]

You guys are number one. One thing is seeing pictures on a book, another thing is seeing the strucures we work out everyday as they are really made. Thank you!

[aycarambas]

Most underrated yet impressive muscles. People hate working their abs. But when youve got that blocky set and chiseled core, you know it takes work!

[carmel]

I love the science behind the human body. Best in-depth video on the abdominals I’ve ever seen

[mclovinn]

This is the first time I actually visualize the actions of the obliques! The rubber bands helped so much! I memorized the actions in school but could never visualize it.

[tadmarshall]

This talk was a great combination of general information about how the body works and specific techniques to increase strength and endurance (and looks), thank you!

[ceciliadiaz]

Never though anatomy could be sooo exciting to watch and learn at the same time 😅

[M_Balo]

This channel is hidden gem of Youtube! Thank you and keep up bringing us high quality content :)

[JoeyIndolos]

From the point of view of protecting the abdominal viscera, I like to think of the transversus abdominis, internal obliques, and external obliques as forming plywood 🙂

[TGYtco]

Love it. I am a personal trainer, and this video is better than the textbook and drawings I learned this info from. 😂

[gabrielpita]

Its always so nice to se someone teaching about something they are excited about. Great video!

Hi, I’m in the process of watching the IofHA’s video on how caffeine affects the body, but thought I would jump on a newer video immediately the hopes my special request might be seen.

Can you please do a video on how Kratom affects the body and brain?

Thank you, and thank you for your marvelous education. I really appreciate the practicality of them, and how you make your anatomy presentations understandable to lay persons like myself, but also sophisticated enough to where I’m able to use your content as a reliable primary source. They’re very useful when I use the information you present as a guide to get lost on the web when doing further research and exploration on the facts, concepts, and processes you describe.

Nice work!

[greatunwinder]

Wish I had access to such in-depth videos while in school. Your presentation is superb. Thks.

[DonFranko]

I wish we had had anatomy lessons like this back when I was training to become a nurse.
