Mistake #1: Too Much Volume
Way too many people perform countless reps of pretty much any type of ab exercise out there. Instead we should be focusing on the strength aspect of core training.
By now we should all know that crunches and sit-ups are a complete waste of time. I don’t think it’s necessary for me to beat the horse with that one.
The thing is… many people perform more reps when training their core, compared to other muscle groups. Strength should also be considered when training your core. You don’t train strength by doing 500 reps of an exercise.
Here’s something else that is considered “too much volume for core training”. Holding a plank longer than a minute. If you can already hold a plank for a minute or even 30 seconds (Assuming you have great form) then it’s time to move on.
Mistake #2: Drawing In Instead Of Bracing Your Abs
Here’s what I mean by that… too many people suck in their stomach instead of pushing it out. Which is also known as bracing.
Strength comes from bracing your abs, not sucking in your gut. Try this… push a heavy object as hard as you can while sucking in your gut. Now push that same object while you push your stomach out and brace your abs. You will notice a huge difference.
We need to perform exercises that reinforce the brace if we ever want rock hard abs.
Mistake #3: Neglecting Other Muscles In Your Core
If all you’re doing is concentrating on the “burn” then sorry to break it to you, but you won’t be getting Six-Pack Abs anytime soon… especially if you have a belly.
Working your core as a whole will engage more muscle groups in your midsection, causing you to target belly fat and sculpt a Rock Solid Midsection.
Luckily for you, I’ve got a unique method to train your whole core without performing a high amount of reps, while teaching you how to BRACE your abs so that you can Target belly fat and finally have the Six-Pack Abs you deserve.
The most effective way of doing this is by Training Like A Fighter
Think about it… Fighters have to go through the process of getting punched and kicked repeatedly to their midsection.
On top of that, they produce a tremendous amount of power in their strikes and it all comes from the fascinating core strength that fighters posses.
