If your AB TRAINING looks like this… STOP.

Can you spot what’s wrong with my form in this video? If not then you’re probably training your abs wrong. The primary function of your abs is to flex your spine, meaning in order to work them efficiently, you need to round and extend your lower back. However, a common mistake people will make is actually flexing their hips instead of flexing their spine. What this does is shift the work to your hip flexors as your abs are not responsible for movement of your hips. So instead, keep your hips in a fixed position, and only focus on rounding and straightening your back to fully contract your abs and ensure that they’re the muscle doing the work.

I hope that helps and subscribe for more lifting tips! #Gym #Shorts

Like any other muscle, your abs need to shorten and lengthen in order to work. In this case, the function they perform is trunk flexion, or the rounding of your lumbar spine. So, for them to work, you need to flex your spine (round your back) to shorten the muscle, and extend your spine (straighten your back) to lengthen it.
