You've been watching what you eat you've been doing crunches and you've lost weight and body fat but you still can't see your abs and it seems that no matter what you do, those abs will now appear. But don't really lose a hiatus even though this video has a strict enough title to help and start going over the 6 most common reasons for not showing abs. By figuring out the causes and fixing the miscalculations I'll do in this video, you should be on your way to a six-pack in no time.
But the big disclaimer is that you really have to make the changes I recommend, as you can't just watch the video and hope you get the abs. So let's jump right in, the number one reason your abs don't show is that you're not choosing a variety of exercises with a full range of moving, and you're getting minimal negative pressure.
It is a commonly known fact that the passive part of any movement is where the most muscle breakdown occurs. It is also known that in order for your muscles to grow back stronger, you first have to break those muscles effectively.
Meaning if we want our ABS to show, we must definitely focus on the part of the movement that breaks most of the muscle that was previously the passive part again.
The mistake many people make is that they focus primarily on movements that only allow minimal negative pressure because these movements cannot be performed with a full range of motion.
Let me give you some examples to enhance this home. A very popular exercise is the string cross press with a rope where you sit on your knees and have the rope behind your head pressed down. In fact, although I respect this exercise because in reality, the angle the weight pulls on your abs has been a problem previously, and on top of that, you can only get into the neutral position. I say the angle is a problem because you lose belly pressure before you actually get to the neutral.
This means that you have a really small negative range of motion and the maximum of your work is done within a really short range. It would be more like doing a biceps coil only going down to about sixty degrees instead of extending your elbows fully 180 degrees.
Let's take a look at other illustrated floor crunches that only allow you to go from a neutral position to having your shoulder blades slightly raised off the ground. Again, a little range of cranking, especially on the downside, the more negativity you can get is neutral.
The bottom leg raise has the same problem, the bottom will help you give your abdominal muscles the extension they can definitely use for growth. Also with regular leg lifts, the angle will again take pressure off the abs except for limited ranges of panning.
Plank is another example, it is isometric pressure meaning there is no negative at all. To overcome this problem, focus mainly on doing more effective exercises.
To be clear during sit-ups, the angle is set so that the pressure doesn't come out of the abs at any point, so the passive part starts at the top of the sit-up and continues all the way down because of the way the angle is set up.
This allows you to open up your abdominal muscles more and have more muscle breakdown. Same with the seated stability ball, you can curve backward around the ball allowing you to get past the neutral point. The bottom is usually the end of your move during a regular squish, but with the stability ball, you have a longer passive range of cranking.
Another upgrade is to raise the dangling leg from a bar or hang it over the edge of the seat. These exercises negotiate the same thing as they give you more room to work on the passive part of the movement.
I'm not saying to do those other moves but your circumstance--and--the flattering should be exercises that allow a full range of motion and give more negative pressure like incline and sit-ups like hanging leg raises like sit-ups on a stability ball. As well as a little exercise in the short term of movement exercises.
