A Breathing Tip

[lV3GlVl4]

I used to see some distension in my abs when i would squat or dealift a few years back, so i started trouble shooting it, and eventually came up with this. it works. give it a try if you notice the same problem.



Before you start a set of deads or squats, purposely take some breaths and notice if your stomach moves in and out. if it does, you need to retrain your breathing(will only take a few breaths, you should get it quickly) so that you are sucking air into your diaphragm(sp?). just imagine breathing completely up in your chest..as you suck in and out(dont breathe too deeply or youll hyperventilate yourself yourself).


youll know youve got in when you see your chest heaving up and down..stay in the pattern as you begin your set and hold it all the way through. pretty soon you wont even have to think about it.


This can seriously keep your waistline down if utilized on a regular basis.

this is very interesting. I tend to have the typical "turtle shell" abdomin. You can see the abs but the gut is a little larger than it should be. Don't think I'm talented enough to get this one though.
