Episode notes
Train Abs Like Other Muscles
- Train abs like any other muscle with heavy resistance and low reps for better development.
- Avoid high rep, no rest ab workouts that only burn without building muscle.
Core Strength From Gladiators
- Ancient sculptures depicted gladiators with well-developed core muscles, showing functional strength over aesthetics.
- Strong core muscles improve speed, power, and spinal protection significantly.
Engage Abs, Not Hip Flexors
- Use resistance-based ab exercises focusing on spinal flexion, not hip flexion, to properly engage abs.
- Perform movements that roll the lumbar spine rather than folding at the hips for maximum ab activation.
