Get a ripped six pack and tight waist here
http://athleanx.com/x/ripped-to-the-core
Are you doing ab workouts but find that you still can’t get rid of the fat? Well, that’s because you’ll never be able to get rid of belly fat by doing ab workouts alone. Anyone that will tell you that is likely selling you a “shortcut” and isn’t qualified to be giving you workout advice (even if it is free)
In this video, I show you how to stop that bloated abs look by learning how to breathe properly during your ab workouts. While you should exhale on the exertion of any ab exercise, you don’t want to blow out (meaning, allowing your belly to protrude or extend during the exhale). Instead, you want to be sure that you cinch your belly down as you exhale. This will feel a bit awkward if you are not used to it but you will learn how to engage your transverse abdominus and get better a flatter stomach as a result.
This becomes more difficult depending on the difficulty of the ab exercise in question. For instance, on a basic crunch (as shown in the video) you will find that you will have much better control of your abs and will be able to learn this skill a little faster. Once you have it, transfer it to harder and harder ab exercises and see if you can still maintain that correct breathing.
But that’s only half of the equation. Others will tell you that if you want to avoid a thick waist or blocky abs you should not train your obliques. They will say that thickened oblique muscles will give you a blockier torso and not allow you to have a trim waistline. That is bad advice. If you want to have a tapered looking set of abs you will have to train your obliques. The orientation of the muscles is such that it will give you the visual tapering effect that you want to frame in your six pack abs.
That said, all of this is nullified by an inattention to your diet and nutrition plan. If you insist on eating bad foods and don’t pay attention to what you eat then you will never have low enough body fat to help you see your abs. This applies to your obliques as well. In order to see ripped abs, it starts and ends with your nutrition.
That said, the right combination of ab workouts and diet plans will get you a great set of abs. The 6 Pack Promise app from ATHLEAN-X is the perfect way to get started down that path. As the top rated ab workout app in the app store, you will find it is exactly what you’ve been looking for to get you started.

Train your abs like an athlete with over 105 ab exercises here
http://athleanx.com/x/complete-training-program-here
You’ve probably heard that full sit-ups are bad for your back and will destroy your spine. That might be a true statement, if you do your sit ups wrong. You see, spinal flexion is one of the motions available to your spine. When laying on your back, as you would before a situp or crunch, your abs are responsible for the curling of your trunk off the ground. Where this goes wrong is when people lack the stability of their pelvis during the motion. In this video, I show you how to be sure that you keep your hips and pelvis where they need to be to avoid many of the dangers of the full military sit up on your spine.
The military physical readiness exams require that you be able to perform sit ups. Like them or not, if you are preparing to enlist in the military, or even your local fire or police department, you are going to have to be able to perform full sit ups. In order to protect your spine along the way you want to be sure you get your pelvic position right.
Before initiating your first rep of an abdominal sit up, you want to be sure to flatten your lower back against the ground by posteriorly rotating your pelvis. This will act to shut down your hip flexors from dominating the movement, and more importantly, prevent the pelvis from starting in an anterior tilt. When starting from an anteriorly tilted pelvis you introduce a high likelihood that you will shift from anterior to posterior during the exercise. This creates high shearing forces in your spine that will be borne through the annular fibers of your spinal discs.
Over time, the gradual breakdown of the peripheral support of your discs leads to disc herniations and ruptures. In order to prevent sit-ups from hurting your back, you have to avoid the shearing caused by the shift from one tilt to the other during the exercise. You can prevent this by starting the exercise and finishing the sit up in a posterior pelvic tilt.
Slowly lower yourself down using the eccentric strength of the abs and perform your next rep in the same fashion. Don’t hook your feet under anything to start the exercise as this will trigger the early activation of the hip flexors which while automatically pull your hips into the undesired anterior tilt.
As you can see, if you perform the full military style sit up incorrectly it can definitely lead to back problems and a bad back overall. That doesn’t have to be the case however. In fact, you can train your entire body with a physical therapist created workout program by visiting http://athleanx.com and getting the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Get ripped abs and a strong core training like an athlete
http://athleanx.com/x/get-a-ripped-athletic-core-here
Do you have low back pain or tight hip flexors and have been told you need to do more core exercises to get your core strong and get rid of your problems? If so, you need to watch this video and see the truth about ab and core training when it comes to lower back pain and lower body tightness.
Your body craves stabilization, particularly in the area of the spine. If you have any type of instability in this crucial area, your body will find ways to compensate to create the strength that you lack. In the best case scenario, your abs and core would be providing the stability that your spine needs. Unfortunately, often times this is not the case. Weak core muscles and abs in particular can cause your body to seek out alternative muscles to provide the help that is sorely needed.
The hip flexors are prime targets of this request. This becomes problematic since the hip flexors attach to the sides of your lumbar vertebrae. When these muscles tighten up in order to provide additional stability they begin to pull on the vertebra in your lower back and lead to imbalance and often times pain. The stabilization is there, but it’s not coming from the right muscles, and this is a problem.
So, what are we told to do to rectify the back pain we are feeling from having tight hip flexors and a tight low back? We are told to stretch the muscles in our hips and lower back. This is a big problem and actually the exact opposite of what you need to do to overcome your problem. You have to stop looking solely at the site of the symptoms and instead look for the cause. In this case, you would have seen that the weak abs are a root of the issues you are having in your hip flexors and lower back.
But it’s not that simple. Maybe you are told correctly that you have to get stronger abs and a strong core so you start doing all kinds of ab exercises to help you do that. Unfortunately, if you choose the wrong ab exercises (not that they are bad at all, they are just wrong for your particular condition) you could wind up making your lower back pain and hip flexor tightness worse.
Many different ab exercises enlist the help of the hip flexors as a prime mover. This occurs a lot in lower ab exercises but can also occur in things as simple as the crunch. If you allow your ab training to include too many of these you will wind up simply over strengthening the hip flexors more and leads to a vicious cycle of more pain.
Start following the ab and core exercise alternatives you see in this video for a great way to get a stronger core without overtaxing your hip flexors. There are plenty of options for you to do, just maybe not the ones you would have immediately thought of. Start with these and you will see how much more quickly your tightness will go away when your ab and core strength starts providing the stability your back was craving all along. The hip flexors and lower back will finally be able to take a much deserved break.

Any exercise can become the worst exercise if you perform it incorrectly. That said, certain exercises deserve the title of the "worst exercise ever" simply because of the low reward, high risk nature of it. In this video, I show 5 of the worst exercises for building muscle and what you can do instead.
Each of the exercises listed in this video is included because of the high risk low reward that it offers. As a physical therapist and strength coach for professional athletes, I have to know where to draw the line between the two. If a quarterback or pitcher of mine wants to do max overhead snatches, I'm going to tell them it's a bad idea. Why? Because there are other ways to train upper body explosiveness without jeopardizing their career on one fatigued or poorly performed rep.
The 5 worst exercises in this video are as follows:
1. Chest flies - I've covered before why this is here. People will swear that they love the stretch they get on their pecs by doing this exercise. If you claim you never heard that argument, then you haven't spent enough time in the gym. They also claim that the adduction at the end of the movement gives them an incredible contraction on their chest. They're half right. There is no extra stretch on the pecs but they do increase the likelihood of injuring their pec with increasing loads held out at arms length. See the 3D crossover as a smarter (and better) option that you can overload even more and still get the benefits of the end contraction.
2. Behind the neck shoulder presses - The problem with this exercise is that it is bad for the shoulders. It places the glenohumeral joint in an awkward position for pressing, which can lead to impingement. Pressing from the natural scapular plane is much more natural and will allow you to press more weight overhead in the long run, leading to bigger shoulders.
3. Upright Rows - I've already discussed just how bad this exercise is for the integrity and health of the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder. What makes this shoulder exercise one of the worst is the position of the elbows and hands at the end of the movement. The exercise puts your shoulders into a provocative position for testing impingement. Instead, you want your elbows below your hands (as in the high pull) to still get the benefits of the abduction of the shoulders without the internal rotation.
4. Good Mornings - This is actually not a terrible exercise for your back as it loads the entire kinetic chain in a functional way. The problem is that most people don't have the necessary thoracic extension to pull it off with proper form. One slip up from here with the load positioned out in front of the body as it is, and you're likely to slip something else...a disc in your lower back.
5. Leg Extensions - This is a no brainer for me. This open chain leg exercise lacks any true function when compared to the numerous closed chain options you can be doing instead. Throw in the shear stresses, ACL tension, lack of hamstring co-contraction, and the imbalance of rectus to VMO firing and you've got a recipe for disaster.
For safer (and better) exercise options it's time you start training like an athlete. Follow the program used by today's top pro athletes to build ripped athletic muscle while protecting their joints and becoming more resilient to injury. Get the ATHLEAN-X program at http://athleanx.com

Build a ripped athletic body while fixing your shoulders here…
http://athleanx.com/x/get-a-bulletproof-body
Shoulder pain and popping is one of the most common causes of missed workouts. Shoulder injuries are incredibly popular among gym goers, but not surprising when you consider the amount of mobility the shoulder joint has and the many ways we abuse that in our training. In this video, I’m going to show you a short term and long term fix for shoulder pain and the popping, cracking, etc that goes along with it. Start training hard and stop letting your bad shoulders get in the way of your progress in the gym.
First, you must understand that there are many potential causes of shoulder pain when working out. Most often however it comes from an imbalance between the internal and external rotators of the shoulder. Unless you make a conscious effort to incorporate external rotation exercises into your shoulder workouts you will not do anything to counteract this from happening.
The role of the rotator cuff muscles in your shoulders are to do exactly this. They are there for external rotation of the glenohumeral joint to help keep the arm in a good position as you raise it up overhead. The rotator cuff muscles (three of the four muscles) will externally rotate the humerus to keep it from banging into the acromion as you elevate the arm. They also keep the head of the ball and socket centered in the socket with the elevation as well.
In order to temporarily reposition an internally rotated head however, you want to do the drill that I’m showing you here. Begin by placing your back against a wall and trying to keep the back of your elbows and the radial side of your index fingers in contact with the wall. Try to raise both arms overhead (keeping the elbows against the wall every inch of the way until you reach the height of your shoulders). At this point you will allow your elbows to come off the wall but you want to keep your fingers against the wall for the remainder of the raise.
Slowly lower your arms back down to your sides and repeat the movement for a total of 5 to 6 reps. You may find that with each rep you are able to keep your fingers and elbows in contact with the wall further and further. When done, step away from the wall and attempt to raise your arms up overhead again. If you had shoulder pain and popping or clicking before, you should see that almost all of it is gone now.
You’ve effectively repositioned your humerus by activating the shoulder external rotators. This is a short term fix however. In order to do this long term you must incorporate rotator cuff strengthening into your daily workout program. We have a complete training program that not only helps you to build ripped athletic muscle but keeps your shoulders and joints healthy at the same time. This is called the ATHLEAN-X Training System. You can get this program at http://athleanx.com and start seeing your best and safest results ever.

Time was when you wanted to train for six-pack abs, you'd do crunches.
Well, crunches get a bad rap these days. And honestly, there IS a reason they're not necessarily a great exercise (repeated, high-repetition flexing of the spine with very little resistance can cause issues in the long term).
http://www.thebestabdominalexercises.com
That being said, if you want six-pack abs, I believe you SHOULD still train spinal flexion, which is the basic purpose of a crunch...
...just don't use a "normal" crunch.
This 3-phase cable crunch exercise is goes beyond simple spinal flexion. Because in addition to spinal flexion, there will be an isometric component (similar to a roll-out) AND a supported spinal extension component (almost like "pushing" crunch).
Don't worry if you can't visualize the biomechanics as I've described them...the good thing is, you don't need to understand WHY it works for it to work!
To perform this exercise, you'll need a bench, a high pulley and a straight bar attachment. Set a moderate weight on the stack. I'm using about 130 lbs on my weight stack, which because of the double pulley setup likely works out to about half of that on a normal pulley (60-70 lbs). You'll need to play around a bit to get the weight right.
Kneel on the bench and set your hands palms-down on top of the bar like you were going to do a pushdown. This hand position is CRITICAL because you actually ARE going to do a pushdown...
Get into position for the cable crunch. Bend at waist, arch your lower back to get extension of the spine (this allows you to get more spinal flexion during the exercise, a.k.a. full range of motion). The handle should be held behind your head.
Crunch down as far as you can, until your upper arms almost touch the bench. Basically, you want to come down as far as you can on this initial elevated cable crunch. This by itself is a great six-pack exercise.
Now comes phase 2...
Hold that position and do a pushdown. This is where the tension feels somewhat similar to the roll-out exercise, as your elbows extend and the resistance shifts forward.
Come all the way down to the bottom until your elbows are fully extended.
Now it's time for phase 3...
"Push Crunch" the bar down until you touch the floor. Then hold for a few seconds.
The biomechanical movement involves some spinal extension. It's excellent (and somewhat different) tension on the six-pack abs, using the abs to "brace" against the resistance while the lower back muscles actually do the moving.
Now reverse the sequence, coming up off the floor a bit, then reversing the "pushdown," then coming back up to the top of the cable crunch.
This exercise puts AMAZING tension on the six-pack abs...aim for about 8-10 reps per set. It's a great way to finish off your abs after a workout.
As you'll see in the video (which I definitely recommend you watch), this exercise should be performed in a very controlled, almost robotic fashion, taking each phase on it's own.

In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro is taking a field trip to the gym so he can show you his favorite 4 abdominal exercises to get your abs to show.
In order to have your abs to show, you need to reduce your body fat (have a decent diet that facilitates your body fat reduction) and perform cardio the 1st thing in the morning. Now that you have the body fat reduced, you need to develop the abs and create separations. Here's how...
Alpha's Go To Ab Routine
Basic bench crunch - after getting into position, keep legs slightly bent, come up and pause. Alpha gives alternates for less and more intense options. 15 reps with dumbbell then 15 reps without the weight. Do three (3) sets of 30 reps.
Hanging Leg Raises - Alpha gives options to perform this exercise with pros and cons. It's about control, that little squeeze, and that little pause. He gives options to make the exercises less and more challenging. He also gives an option to hit the obliques. Go for three (3) sets.
Cable Crunch - it's a personal favorite of Alpha but is more difficult to feel. Your butt doesn't move. Only the upper body moves with a pause. Go for 15 - 20, three (3) sets.
The Ball Crunch - not the most masculine looking but one of the most effective. Chin to ceiling with the ball in the small of your back, go up, pause, and down. If you quiver, all of your muscles are engaged. You don't need to go super fast. Go 10 slow with a pause. Then go for 10 pulses. It's a great way to finish off those abs!
String of two of these together for a superset. Alternate back and forth for 3 sets. Perform twice a week with a few days in between. If you squeeze, go slow, and contract, you'll feel it for days. Freeletics FREE Gym App is an option that Alpha has been using too. It's the best fitness app he's ever seen. Remember, no abs were ever seen without a low body fat percentage!

Out of all the exercise machines in the gym, the ab crunch machine is among the very worst. Although this exercise does workout your abs, that is no indication of it being good for your body.
Many people due to sitting in bad postures over the years and bending at their waist develop a bulging disc at various areas of their spine. Discs serve to act as shock absorbers between your vertebral bones. The inner layer of the disk is gooey, while the outer layer is hard. A bulging disc happens when that inner layer causes the outer layer to bulge out. When one has a prolapsed disc, the inner layer escapes the outer layer. This can be a major deal because nerves coming out of the spinal cord can then become compressed. This can lead to nerve pain traveling all throughout the pathway of that nerve. Commonly, Sciatica can result from this occurring.
When one sits on the ab crunch machine, the spine changes position from an S shape to a C shape. This causes more pressure to be placed at the disc. Also, many people already have a bulging disc. Finally, combine these things with using your abs to move the heavy weight and you can wind up with a prolapsed disc.
Because of these things, one should consider using a Pilates ball for ab exercises. Not only will the ball protect your back provided you don't go into some crazy position, but the unstable surface provided by the ball will allow you to activate your core more. It is for these reasons that using a ball for ab workouts is a far better choice than the crunch machine.

6:05Ab Workout Mistake (BLOATED ABS!!)
Ab Workout Mistake (BLOATED ABS!!)Ab Workout Mistake (BLOATED ABS!!)
Get a ripped six pack and tight waist here http://athleanx.com/x/ripped-to-the-core Are you doing ab workouts but find that you still can’t get rid of the fat? Well, that’s because you’ll never be able to get rid of belly fat by doing ab workouts alone. Anyone that will tell you that is likely selling you a “shortcut” and isn’t qualified to be giving you workout advice (even if it is free) In this video, I show you how to stop that bloated abs look by learning how to breathe properly during your ab workouts. While you should exhale on the exertion of any ab exercise, you don’t want to blow out (meaning, allowing your belly to protrude or extend during the exhale). Instead, you want to be sure that you cinch your belly down as you exhale.

This becomes more difficult depending on the difficulty of the ab exercise in question. For instance, on a basic crunch (as shown in the video) you will find that you will have much better control of your abs and will be able to learn this skill a little faster.

If you insist on eating bad foods and don’t pay attention to what you eat then you will never have low enough body fat to help you see your abs. This applies to your obliques as well. In order to see ripped abs, it starts and ends with your nutrition. That said, the right combination of ab workouts and diet plans will get you a great set of abs. The 6 Pack Promise app from ATHLEAN-X is the perfect way to get started down that path. As the top rated ab workout app in the app store, you will find it is exactly what you’ve been looking for to get you started.

4:30Military Sit Ups (BAD FOR YOUR BACK?)
Military Sit Ups (BAD FOR YOUR BACK?)Military Sit Ups (BAD FOR YOUR BACK?)
Train your abs like an athlete with over 105 ab exercises here http://athleanx.com/x/complete-training-program-here You’ve probably heard that full sit-ups are bad for your back and will destroy your spine. That might be a true statement, if you do your sit ups wrong. You see, spinal flexion is one of the motions available to your spine. When laying on your back, as you would before a situp or crunch, your abs are responsible for the curling of your trunk off the ground. Where this goes wrong is when people lack the stability of their pelvis during the motion. In this video, I show you how to be sure that you keep your hips and pelvis where they need to be to avoid many of the dangers of the full military sit up on your spine. The military physical readiness exams require that you be able to perform sit ups. Like them or not, if you are preparing to enlist in the military, or even your local fire or police department, you are going to have to be able to perform full sit ups. In order to protect your spine along the way you want to be sure you get your pelvic position right. Before initiating your first rep of an abdominal sit up, you want to be sure to flatten your lower back against the ground by posteriorly rotating your pelvis. This will act to shut down your hip flexors from dominating the movement, and more importantly, prevent the pelvis from starting in an anterior tilt. When starting from an anteriorly tilted pelvis you introduce a high likelihood that you will shift from anterior to posterior during the exercise. This creates high shearing forces in your spine that will be borne through the annular fibers of your spinal discs. Over time, the gradual breakdown of the peripheral support of your discs leads to disc herniations and ruptures. In order to prevent sit-ups from hurting your back, you have to avoid the shearing caused by the shift from one tilt to the other during the exercise. You can prevent this by starting the exercise and finishing the sit up in a posterior pelvic tilt. Slowly lower yourself down using the eccentric strength of the abs and perform your next rep in the same fashion. Don’t hook your feet under anything to start the exercise as this will trigger the early activation of the hip flexors which while automatically pull your hips into the undesired anterior tilt. As you can see, if you perform the full military style sit up incorrectly it can definitely lead to back problems and a bad back overall. That doesn’t have to be the case however. In fact, you can train your entire body with a physical therapist created workout program by visiting http://athleanx.com and getting the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

8:287 Core Exercises for Low Back Pain (IMPORTANT!)
7 Core Exercises for Low Back Pain (IMPORTANT!)7 Core Exercises for Low Back Pain (IMPORTANT!)
Get ripped abs and a strong core training like an athlete http://athleanx.com/x/get-a-ripped-athletic-core-here Do you have low back pain or tight hip flexors and have been told you need to do more core exercises to get your core strong and get rid of your problems? If so, you need to watch this video and see the truth about ab and core training when it comes to lower back pain and lower body tightness. Your body craves stabilization, particularly in the area of the spine. If you have any type of instability in this crucial area, your body will find ways to compensate to create the strength that you lack. In the best case scenario, your abs and core would be providing the stability that your spine needs. Unfortunately, often times this is not the case. Weak core muscles and abs in particular can cause your body to seek out alternative muscles to provide the help that is sorely needed. The hip flexors are prime targets of this request. This becomes problematic since the hip flexors attach to the sides of your lumbar vertebrae. When these muscles tighten up in order to provide additional stability they begin to pull on the vertebra in your lower back and lead to imbalance and often times pain. The stabilization is there, but it’s not coming from the right muscles, and this is a problem. So, what are we told to do to rectify the back pain we are feeling from having tight hip flexors and a tight low back? We are told to stretch the muscles in our hips and lower back. This is a big problem and actually the exact opposite of what you need to do to overcome your problem. You have to stop looking solely at the site of the symptoms and instead look for the cause. In this case, you would have seen that the weak abs are a root of the issues you are having in your hip flexors and lower back. But it’s not that simple. Maybe you are told correctly that you have to get stronger abs and a strong core so you start doing all kinds of ab exercises to help you do that. Unfortunately, if you choose the wrong ab exercises (not that they are bad at all, they are just wrong for your particular condition) you could wind up making your lower back pain and hip flexor tightness worse. Many different ab exercises enlist the help of the hip flexors as a prime mover. This occurs a lot in lower ab exercises but can also occur in things as simple as the crunch. If you allow your ab training to include too many of these you will wind up simply over strengthening the hip flexors more and leads to a vicious cycle of more pain. Start following the ab and core exercise alternatives you see in this video for a great way to get a stronger core without overtaxing your hip flexors. There are plenty of options for you to do, just maybe not the ones you would have immediately thought of. Start with these and you will see how much more quickly your tightness will go away when your ab and core strength starts providing the stability your back was craving all along. The hip flexors and lower back will finally be able to take a much deserved break.

10:32TOP 5 WORST EXERCISES (Stop Doing These!!)
TOP 5 WORST EXERCISES (Stop Doing These!!)TOP 5 WORST EXERCISES (Stop Doing These!!)
Get your one way ticket from Snap City to Muscleville http://athleanx.com/x/one-way-ticket Any exercise can become the worst exercise if you perform it incorrectly. That said, certain exercises deserve the title of the "worst exercise ever" simply because of the low reward, high risk nature of it. In this video, I show 5 of the worst exercises for building muscle and what you can do instead. Each of the exercises listed in this video is included because of the high risk low reward that it offers. As a physical therapist and strength coach for professional athletes, I have to know where to draw the line between the two. If a quarterback or pitcher of mine wants to do max overhead snatches, I'm going to tell them it's a bad idea. Why? Because there are other ways to train upper body explosiveness without jeopardizing their career on one fatigued or poorly performed rep. The 5 worst exercises in this video are as follows: 1. Chest flies - I've covered before why this is here. People will swear that they love the stretch they get on their pecs by doing this exercise. If you claim you never heard that argument, then you haven't spent enough time in the gym. They also claim that the adduction at the end of the movement gives them an incredible contraction on their chest. They're half right. There is no extra stretch on the pecs but they do increase the likelihood of injuring their pec with increasing loads held out at arms length. See the 3D crossover as a smarter (and better) option that you can overload even more and still get the benefits of the end contraction. 2. Behind the neck shoulder presses - The problem with this exercise is that it is bad for the shoulders. It places the glenohumeral joint in an awkward position for pressing, which can lead to impingement. Pressing from the natural scapular plane is much more natural and will allow you to press more weight overhead in the long run, leading to bigger shoulders. 3. Upright Rows - I've already discussed just how bad this exercise is for the integrity and health of the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder. What makes this shoulder exercise one of the worst is the position of the elbows and hands at the end of the movement. The exercise puts your shoulders into a provocative position for testing impingement. Instead, you want your elbows below your hands (as in the high pull) to still get the benefits of the abduction of the shoulders without the internal rotation. 4. Good Mornings - This is actually not a terrible exercise for your back as it loads the entire kinetic chain in a functional way. The problem is that most people don't have the necessary thoracic extension to pull it off with proper form. One slip up from here with the load positioned out in front of the body as it is, and you're likely to slip something else...a disc in your lower back. 5. Leg Extensions - This is a no brainer for me. This open chain leg exercise lacks any true function when compared to the numerous closed chain options you can be doing instead. Throw in the shear stresses, ACL tension, lack of hamstring co-contraction, and the imbalance of rectus to VMO firing and you've got a recipe for disaster. For safer (and better) exercise options it's time you start training like an athlete. Follow the program used by today's top pro athletes to build ripped athletic muscle while protecting their joints and becoming more resilient to injury.

5:27Shoulder Pain and Popping (SHORT & LONG TERM FIX!)
Shoulder Pain and Popping (SHORT & LONG TERM FIX!)Shoulder Pain and Popping (SHORT & LONG TERM FIX!)
Build a ripped athletic body while fixing your shoulders here… http://athleanx.com/x/get-a-bulletproof-body Shoulder pain and popping is one of the most common causes of missed workouts. Shoulder injuries are incredibly popular among gym goers, but not surprising when you consider the amount of mobility the shoulder joint has and the many ways we abuse that in our training. In this video, I’m going to show you a short term and long term fix for shoulder pain and the popping, cracking, etc that goes along with it. Start training hard and stop letting your bad shoulders get in the way of your progress in the gym. First, you must understand that there are many potential causes of shoulder pain when working out. Most often however it comes from an imbalance between the internal and external rotators of the shoulder. Unless you make a conscious effort to incorporate external rotation exercises into your shoulder workouts you will not do anything to counteract this from happening. The role of the rotator cuff muscles in your shoulders are to do exactly this. They are there for external rotation of the glenohumeral joint to help keep the arm in a good position as you raise it up overhead. The rotator cuff muscles (three of the four muscles) will externally rotate the humerus to keep it from banging into the acromion as you elevate the arm. They also keep the head of the ball and socket centered in the socket with the elevation as well. In order to temporarily reposition an internally rotated head however, you want to do the drill that I’m showing you here. Begin by placing your back against a wall and trying to keep the back of your elbows and the radial side of your index fingers in contact with the wall. Try to raise both arms overhead (keeping the elbows against the wall every inch of the way until you reach the height of your shoulders). At this point you will allow your elbows to come off the wall but you want to keep your fingers against the wall for the remainder of the raise. Slowly lower your arms back down to your sides and repeat the movement for a total of 5 to 6 reps. You may find that with each rep you are able to keep your fingers and elbows in contact with the wall further and further. When done, step away from the wall and attempt to raise your arms up overhead again. If you had shoulder pain and popping or clicking before, you should see that almost all of it is gone now. You’ve effectively repositioned your humerus by activating the shoulder external rotators. This is a short term fix however. In order to do this long term you must incorporate rotator cuff strengthening into your daily workout program. We have a complete training program that not only helps you to build ripped athletic muscle but keeps your shoulders and joints healthy at the same time. This is called the ATHLEAN-X Training System. You can get this program at http://athleanx.com and start seeing your best and safest results ever.

4:17Get Six-Pack Abs that POP with the 3 Phase Cable Crunch
Get Six-Pack Abs that POP with the 3 Phase Cable CrunchGet Six-Pack Abs that POP with the 3 Phase Cable Crunch
Time was when you wanted to train for six-pack abs, you'd do crunches. Well, crunches get a bad rap these days. And honestly, there IS a reason they're not necessarily a great exercise (repeated, high-repetition flexing of the spine with very little resistance can cause issues in the long term). http://www.thebestabdominalexercises.com That being said, if you want six-pack abs, I believe you SHOULD still train spinal flexion, which is the basic purpose of a crunch... ...just don't use a "normal" crunch. This 3-phase cable crunch exercise is goes beyond simple spinal flexion. Because in addition to spinal flexion, there will be an isometric component (similar to a roll-out) AND a supported spinal extension component (almost like "pushing" crunch). Don't worry if you can't visualize the biomechanics as I've described them...the good thing is, you don't need to understand WHY it works for it to work! To perform this exercise, you'll need a bench, a high pulley and a straight bar attachment. Set a moderate weight on the stack. I'm using about 130 lbs on my weight stack, which because of the double pulley setup likely works out to about half of that on a normal pulley (60-70 lbs). You'll need to play around a bit to get the weight right. Kneel on the bench and set your hands palms-down on top of the bar like you were going to do a pushdown. This hand position is CRITICAL because you actually ARE going to do a pushdown... Get into position for the cable crunch. Bend at waist, arch your lower back to get extension of the spine (this allows you to get more spinal flexion during the exercise, a.k.a. full range of motion). The handle should be held behind your head. Crunch down as far as you can, until your upper arms almost touch the bench. Basically, you want to come down as far as you can on this initial elevated cable crunch. This by itself is a great six-pack exercise. Now comes phase 2... Hold that position and do a pushdown. This is where the tension feels somewhat similar to the roll-out exercise, as your elbows extend and the resistance shifts forward. Come all the way down to the bottom until your elbows are fully extended. Now it's time for phase 3... "Push Crunch" the bar down until you touch the floor. Then hold for a few seconds. The biomechanical movement involves some spinal extension. It's excellent (and somewhat different) tension on the six-pack abs, using the abs to "brace" against the resistance while the lower back muscles actually do the moving. Now reverse the sequence, coming up off the floor a bit, then reversing the "pushdown," then coming back up to the top of the cable crunch. This exercise puts AMAZING tension on the six-pack abs...aim for about 8-10 reps per set. It's a great way to finish off your abs after a workout. As you'll see in the video (which I definitely recommend you watch), this exercise should be performed in a very controlled, almost robotic fashion, taking each phase on it's own. -

In order to have your abs to show, you need to reduce your body fat (have a decent diet that facilitates your body fat reduction) and perform cardio the 1st thing in the morning. Now that you have the body fat reduced, you need to develop the abs and create separations. Here's how... Alpha's Go To Ab Routine Basic bench crunch - after getting into position, keep legs slightly bent, come up and pause. Alpha gives alternates for less and more intense options. 15 reps with dumbbell then 15 reps without the weight. Do three (3) sets of 30 reps. Hanging Leg Raises - Alpha gives options to perform this exercise with pros and cons. It's about control, that little squeeze, and that little pause. He gives options to make the exercises less and more challenging. He also gives an option to hit the obliques. Go for three (3) sets. Cable Crunch - it's a personal favorite of Alpha but is more difficult to feel. Your butt doesn't move. Only the upper body moves with a pause. Go for 15 - 20, three (3) sets. The Ball Crunch - not the most masculine looking but one of the most effective. Chin to ceiling with the ball in the small of your back, go up, pause, and down. If you quiver, all of your muscles are engaged. You don't need to go super fast. Go 10 slow with a pause. Then go for 10 pulses. It's a great way to finish off those abs! String of two of these together for a superset. Alternate back and forth for 3 sets. Perform twice a week with a few days in between. If you squeeze, go slow, and contract, you'll feel it for days. Freeletics FREE Gym App is an option that Alpha has been using too. It's the best fitness app he's ever seen. Remember, no abs were ever seen without a low body fat percentage! -
4:38Warning! Ab Crunch Machine Can Cause A Bulging Disc / Prolapsed Disc
Warning! Ab Crunch Machine Can Cause A Bulging Disc / Prolapsed DiscWarning! Ab Crunch Machine Can Cause A Bulging Disc / Prolapsed Disc
My Site: http://fitnessoriented.com/ Out of all the exercise machines in the gym, the ab crunch machine is among the very worst. Although this exercise does workout your abs, that is no indication of it being good for your body. Many people due to sitting in bad postures over the years and bending at their waist develop a bulging disc at various areas of their spine. Discs serve to act as shock absorbers between your vertebral bones. The inner layer of the disk is gooey, while the outer layer is hard. A bulging disc happens when that inner layer causes the outer layer to bulge out. When one has a prolapsed disc, the inner layer escapes the outer layer. This can be a major deal because nerves coming out of the spinal cord can then become compressed. This can lead to nerve pain traveling all throughout the pathway of that nerve. Commonly, Sciatica can result from this occurring. When one sits on the ab crunch machine, the spine changes position from an S shape to a C shape. This causes more pressure to be placed at the disc. Also, many people already have a bulging disc. Finally, combine these things with using your abs to move the heavy weight and you can wind up with a prolapsed disc. Because of these things, one should consider using a Pilates ball for ab exercises. Not only will the ball protect your back provided you don't go into some crazy position, but the unstable surface provided by the ball will allow you to activate your core more. It is for these reasons that using a ball for ab workouts is a far better choice than the crunch machine.

Ab Workout Mistake (BLOATED ABS!!)
Get a ripped six pack and tight waist here http://athleanx.com/x/ripped-to-the-core Are you doing ab workouts but find that you still can’t get rid of the fat? Well, that’s because you’ll never be able to get rid of belly fat by doing ab workouts alone. Anyone that will tell you that is likely selling you a “shortcut” and isn’t qualified to be giving you workout advice (even if it is free) In this video, I show you how to stop that bloated abs look by learning how to breathe properly during your ab workouts. While you should exhale on the exertion of any ab exercise, you don’t want to blow out (meaning, allowing your belly to protrude or extend during the exhale). Instead, you want to be sure that you cinch your belly down as you exhale. This will feel a bit awkward if you are not u...

Warning! Ab Crunch Machine Can Cause A Bulging Disc / Prolapsed Disc
My Site: http://fitnessoriented.com/ Out of all the exercise machines in the gym, the ab crunch machine is among the very worst. Although this exercise does workout your abs, that is no indication of it being good for your body. Many people due to sitting in bad postures over the years and bending at their waist develop a bulging disc at various areas of their spine. Discs serve to act as shock absorbers between your vertebral bones. The inner layer of the disk is gooey, while the outer layer is hard. A bulging disc happens when that inner layer causes the outer layer to bulge out. When one has a prolapsed disc, the inner layer escapes the outer layer. This can be a major deal because nerves coming out of the spinal cord can then become compressed. This can lead to nerve pain tr...

Get a ripped six pack and tight waist here
http://athleanx.com/x/ripped-to-the-core
Are you doing ab workouts but find that you still can’t get rid of the fat? Well, that’s because you’ll never be able to get rid of belly fat by doing ab workouts alone. Anyone that will tell you that is likely selling you a “shortcut” and isn’t qualified to be giving you workout advice (even if it is free)
In this video, I show you how to stop that bloated abs look by learning how to breathe properly during your ab workouts. While you should exhale on the exertion of any ab exercise, you don’t want to blow out (meaning, allowing your belly to protrude or extend during the exhale). Instead, you want to be sure that you cinch your belly down as you exhale. This will feel a bit awkward if you are not used to it but you will learn how to engage your transverse abdominus and get better a flatter stomach as a result.
This becomes more difficult depending on the difficulty of the ab exercise in question. For instance, on a basic crunch (as shown in the video) you will find that you will have much better control of your abs and will be able to learn this skill a little faster. Once you have it, transfer it to harder and harder ab exercises and see if you can still maintain that correct breathing.
But that’s only half of the equation. Others will tell you that if you want to avoid a thick waist or blocky abs you should not train your obliques. They will say that thickened oblique muscles will give you a blockier torso and not allow you to have a trim waistline. That is bad advice. If you want to have a tapered looking set of abs you will have to train your obliques. The orientation of the muscles is such that it will give you the visual tapering effect that you want to frame in your six pack abs.
That said, all of this is nullified by an inattention to your diet and nutrition plan. If you insist on eating bad foods and don’t pay attention to what you eat then you will never have low enough body fat to help you see your abs. This applies to your obliques as well. In order to see ripped abs, it starts and ends with your nutrition.
That said, the right combination of ab workouts and diet plans will get you a great set of abs. The 6 Pack Promise app from ATHLEAN-X is the perfect way to get started down that path. As the top rated ab workout app in the app store, you will find it is exactly what you’ve been looking for to get you started.

Train your abs like an athlete with over 105 ab exercises here
http://athleanx.com/x/complete-training-program-here
You’ve probably heard that full sit-ups are bad for your back and will destroy your spine. That might be a true statement, if you do your sit ups wrong. You see, spinal flexion is one of the motions available to your spine. When laying on your back, as you would before a situp or crunch, your abs are responsible for the curling of your trunk off the ground. Where this goes wrong is when people lack the stability of their pelvis during the motion. In this video, I show you how to be sure that you keep your hips and pelvis where they need to be to avoid many of the dangers of the full military sit up on your spine.
The military physical readiness exams require that you be able to perform sit ups. Like them or not, if you are preparing to enlist in the military, or even your local fire or police department, you are going to have to be able to perform full sit ups. In order to protect your spine along the way you want to be sure you get your pelvic position right.
Before initiating your first rep of an abdominal sit up, you want to be sure to flatten your lower back against the ground by posteriorly rotating your pelvis. This will act to shut down your hip flexors from dominating the movement, and more importantly, prevent the pelvis from starting in an anterior tilt. When starting from an anteriorly tilted pelvis you introduce a high likelihood that you will shift from anterior to posterior during the exercise. This creates high shearing forces in your spine that will be borne through the annular fibers of your spinal discs.
Over time, the gradual breakdown of the peripheral support of your discs leads to disc herniations and ruptures. In order to prevent sit-ups from hurting your back, you have to avoid the shearing caused by the shift from one tilt to the other during the exercise. You can prevent this by starting the exercise and finishing the sit up in a posterior pelvic tilt.
Slowly lower yourself down using the eccentric strength of the abs and perform your next rep in the same fashion. Don’t hook your feet under anything to start the exercise as this will trigger the early activation of the hip flexors which while automatically pull your hips into the undesired anterior tilt.
As you can see, if you perform the full military style sit up incorrectly it can definitely lead to back problems and a bad back overall. That doesn’t have to be the case however. In fact, you can train your entire body with a physical therapist created workout program by visiting http://athleanx.com and getting the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Get ripped abs and a strong core training like an athlete
http://athleanx.com/x/get-a-ripped-athletic-core-here
Do you have low back pain or tight hip flexors and have been told you need to do more core exercises to get your core strong and get rid of your problems? If so, you need to watch this video and see the truth about ab and core training when it comes to lower back pain and lower body tightness.
Your body craves stabilization, particularly in the area of the spine. If you have any type of instability in this crucial area, your body will find ways to compensate to create the strength that you lack. In the best case scenario, your abs and core would be providing the stability that your spine needs. Unfortunately, often times this is not the case. Weak core muscles and abs in particular can cause your body to seek out alternative muscles to provide the help that is sorely needed.
The hip flexors are prime targets of this request. This becomes problematic since the hip flexors attach to the sides of your lumbar vertebrae. When these muscles tighten up in order to provide additional stability they begin to pull on the vertebra in your lower back and lead to imbalance and often times pain. The stabilization is there, but it’s not coming from the right muscles, and this is a problem.
So, what are we told to do to rectify the back pain we are feeling from having tight hip flexors and a tight low back? We are told to stretch the muscles in our hips and lower back. This is a big problem and actually the exact opposite of what you need to do to overcome your problem. You have to stop looking solely at the site of the symptoms and instead look for the cause. In this case, you would have seen that the weak abs are a root of the issues you are having in your hip flexors and lower back.
But it’s not that simple. Maybe you are told correctly that you have to get stronger abs and a strong core so you start doing all kinds of ab exercises to help you do that. Unfortunately, if you choose the wrong ab exercises (not that they are bad at all, they are just wrong for your particular condition) you could wind up making your lower back pain and hip flexor tightness worse.
Many different ab exercises enlist the help of the hip flexors as a prime mover. This occurs a lot in lower ab exercises but can also occur in things as simple as the crunch. If you allow your ab training to include too many of these you will wind up simply over strengthening the hip flexors more and leads to a vicious cycle of more pain.
Start following the ab and core exercise alternatives you see in this video for a great way to get a stronger core without overtaxing your hip flexors. There are plenty of options for you to do, just maybe not the ones you would have immediately thought of. Start with these and you will see how much more quickly your tightness will go away when your ab and core strength starts providing the stability your back was craving all along. The hip flexors and lower back will finally be able to take a much deserved break.

Any exercise can become the worst exercise if you perform it incorrectly. That said, certain exercises deserve the title of the "worst exercise ever" simply because of the low reward, high risk nature of it. In this video, I show 5 of the worst exercises for building muscle and what you can do instead.
Each of the exercises listed in this video is included because of the high risk low reward that it offers. As a physical therapist and strength coach for professional athletes, I have to know where to draw the line between the two. If a quarterback or pitcher of mine wants to do max overhead snatches, I'm going to tell them it's a bad idea. Why? Because there are other ways to train upper body explosiveness without jeopardizing their career on one fatigued or poorly performed rep.
The 5 worst exercises in this video are as follows:
1. Chest flies - I've covered before why this is here. People will swear that they love the stretch they get on their pecs by doing this exercise. If you claim you never heard that argument, then you haven't spent enough time in the gym. They also claim that the adduction at the end of the movement gives them an incredible contraction on their chest. They're half right. There is no extra stretch on the pecs but they do increase the likelihood of injuring their pec with increasing loads held out at arms length. See the 3D crossover as a smarter (and better) option that you can overload even more and still get the benefits of the end contraction.
2. Behind the neck shoulder presses - The problem with this exercise is that it is bad for the shoulders. It places the glenohumeral joint in an awkward position for pressing, which can lead to impingement. Pressing from the natural scapular plane is much more natural and will allow you to press more weight overhead in the long run, leading to bigger shoulders.
3. Upright Rows - I've already discussed just how bad this exercise is for the integrity and health of the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder. What makes this shoulder exercise one of the worst is the position of the elbows and hands at the end of the movement. The exercise puts your shoulders into a provocative position for testing impingement. Instead, you want your elbows below your hands (as in the high pull) to still get the benefits of the abduction of the shoulders without the internal rotation.
4. Good Mornings - This is actually not a terrible exercise for your back as it loads the entire kinetic chain in a functional way. The problem is that most people don't have the necessary thoracic extension to pull it off with proper form. One slip up from here with the load positioned out in front of the body as it is, and you're likely to slip something else...a disc in your lower back.
5. Leg Extensions - This is a no brainer for me. This open chain leg exercise lacks any true function when compared to the numerous closed chain options you can be doing instead. Throw in the shear stresses, ACL tension, lack of hamstring co-contraction, and the imbalance of rectus to VMO firing and you've got a recipe for disaster.
For safer (and better) exercise options it's time you start training like an athlete. Follow the program used by today's top pro athletes to build ripped athletic muscle while protecting their joints and becoming more resilient to injury. Get the ATHLEAN-X program at http://athleanx.com

Shoulder pain and popping is one of the most common causes of missed workouts. Shoulder injuries are incredibly popular among gym goers, but not surprising when you consider the amount of mobility the shoulder joint has and the many ways we abuse that in our training. In this video, I’m going to show you a short term and long term fix for shoulder pain and the popping, cracking, etc that goes along with it. Start training hard and stop letting your bad shoulders get in the way of your progress in the gym.
First, you must understand that there are many potential causes of shoulder pain when working out. Most often however it comes from an imbalance between the internal and external rotators of the shoulder. Unless you make a conscious effort to incorporate external rotation exercises into your shoulder workouts you will not do anything to counteract this from happening.
The role of the rotator cuff muscles in your shoulders are to do exactly this. They are there for external rotation of the glenohumeral joint to help keep the arm in a good position as you raise it up overhead. The rotator cuff muscles (three of the four muscles) will externally rotate the humerus to keep it from banging into the acromion as you elevate the arm. They also keep the head of the ball and socket centered in the socket with the elevation as well.
In order to temporarily reposition an internally rotated head however, you want to do the drill that I’m showing you here. Begin by placing your back against a wall and trying to keep the back of your elbows and the radial side of your index fingers in contact with the wall. Try to raise both arms overhead (keeping the elbows against the wall every inch of the way until you reach the height of your shoulders). At this point you will allow your elbows to come off the wall but you want to keep your fingers against the wall for the remainder of the raise.
Slowly lower your arms back down to your sides and repeat the movement for a total of 5 to 6 reps. You may find that with each rep you are able to keep your fingers and elbows in contact with the wall further and further. When done, step away from the wall and attempt to raise your arms up overhead again. If you had shoulder pain and popping or clicking before, you should see that almost all of it is gone now.
You’ve effectively repositioned your humerus by activating the shoulder external rotators. This is a short term fix however. In order to do this long term you must incorporate rotator cuff strengthening into your daily workout program. We have a complete training program that not only helps you to build ripped athletic muscle but keeps your shoulders and joints healthy at the same time. This is called the ATHLEAN-X Training System. You can get this program at http://athleanx.com and start seeing your best and safest results ever.

Shoulder pain and popping is one of the most common causes of missed workouts. Shoulder injuries are incredibly popular among gym goers, but not surprising when you consider the amount of mobility the shoulder joint has and the many ways we abuse that in our training. In this video, I’m going to show you a short term and long term fix for shoulder pain and the popping, cracking, etc that goes along with it.

Get Six-Pack Abs that POP with the 3 Phase Cable Crunch

Time was when you wanted to train for six-pack abs, you'd do crunches.
Well, crunches get a bad rap these days. And honestly, there IS a reason they're not necessarily a great exercise (repeated, high-repetition flexing of the spine with very little resistance can cause issues in the long term).
http://www.thebestabdominalexercises.com
That being said, if you want six-pack abs, I believe you SHOULD still train spinal flexion, which is the basic purpose of a crunch...
...just don't use a "normal" crunch.
This 3-phase cable crunch exercise is goes beyond simple spinal flexion. Because in addition to spinal flexion, there will be an isometric component (similar to a roll-out) AND a supported spinal extension component (almost like "pushing" crunch).
Don't worry if you can't visualize the biomechanics as I've described them...the good thing is, you don't need to understand WHY it works for it to work!
To perform this exercise, you'll need a bench, a high pulley and a straight bar attachment. Set a moderate weight on the stack. I'm using about 130 lbs on my weight stack, which because of the double pulley setup likely works out to about half of that on a normal pulley (60-70 lbs). You'll need to play around a bit to get the weight right.
Kneel on the bench and set your hands palms-down on top of the bar like you were going to do a pushdown. This hand position is CRITICAL because you actually ARE going to do a pushdown...
Get into position for the cable crunch. Bend at waist, arch your lower back to get extension of the spine (this allows you to get more spinal flexion during the exercise, a.k.a. full range of motion). The handle should be held behind your head.
Crunch down as far as you can, until your upper arms almost touch the bench. Basically, you want to come down as far as you can on this initial elevated cable crunch. This by itself is a great six-pack exercise.
Now comes phase 2...
Hold that position and do a pushdown. This is where the tension feels somewhat similar to the roll-out exercise, as your elbows extend and the resistance shifts forward.
Come all the way down to the bottom until your elbows are fully extended.
Now it's time for phase 3...
"Push Crunch" the bar down until you touch the floor. Then hold for a few seconds.
The biomechanical movement involves some spinal extension. It's excellent (and somewhat different) tension on the six-pack abs, using the abs to "brace" against the resistance while the lower back muscles actually do the moving.
Now reverse the sequence, coming up off the floor a bit, then reversing the "pushdown," then coming back up to the top of the cable crunch.
This exercise puts AMAZING tension on the six-pack abs...aim for about 8-10 reps per set. It's a great way to finish off your abs after a workout.
As you'll see in the video (which I definitely recommend you watch), this exercise should be performed in a very controlled, almost robotic fashion, taking each phase on it's own.

In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro is taking a field trip to the gym so he can show you his favorite 4 abdominal exercises to get your abs to show.
In order to have your abs to show, you need to reduce your body fat (have a decent diet that facilitates your body fat reduction) and perform cardio the 1st thing in the morning. Now that you have the body fat reduced, you need to develop the abs and create separations. Here's how...
Alpha's Go To Ab Routine
Basic bench crunch - after getting into position, keep legs slightly bent, come up and pause. Alpha gives alternates for less and more intense options. 15 reps with dumbbell then 15 reps without the weight. Do three (3) sets of 30 reps.
Hanging Leg Raises - Alpha gives options to perform this exercise with pros and cons. It's about control, that little squeeze, and that little pause. He gives options to make the exercises less and more challenging. He also gives an option to hit the obliques. Go for three (3) sets.
Cable Crunch - it's a personal favorite of Alpha but is more difficult to feel. Your butt doesn't move. Only the upper body moves with a pause. Go for 15 - 20, three (3) sets.
The Ball Crunch - not the most masculine looking but one of the most effective. Chin to ceiling with the ball in the small of your back, go up, pause, and down. If you quiver, all of your muscles are engaged. You don't need to go super fast. Go 10 slow with a pause. Then go for 10 pulses. It's a great way to finish off those abs!
String of two of these together for a superset. Alternate back and forth for 3 sets. Perform twice a week with a few days in between. If you squeeze, go slow, and contract, you'll feel it for days. Freeletics FREE Gym App is an option that Alpha has been using too. It's the best fitness app he's ever seen. Remember, no abs were ever seen without a low body fat percentage!

Out of all the exercise machines in the gym, the ab crunch machine is among the very worst. Although this exercise does workout your abs, that is no indication of it being good for your body.
Many people due to sitting in bad postures over the years and bending at their waist develop a bulging disc at various areas of their spine. Discs serve to act as shock absorbers between your vertebral bones. The inner layer of the disk is gooey, while the outer layer is hard. A bulging disc happens when that inner layer causes the outer layer to bulge out. When one has a prolapsed disc, the inner layer escapes the outer layer. This can be a major deal because nerves coming out of the spinal cord can then become compressed. This can lead to nerve pain traveling all throughout the pathway of that nerve. Commonly, Sciatica can result from this occurring.
When one sits on the ab crunch machine, the spine changes position from an S shape to a C shape. This causes more pressure to be placed at the disc. Also, many people already have a bulging disc. Finally, combine these things with using your abs to move the heavy weight and you can wind up with a prolapsed disc.
Because of these things, one should consider using a Pilates ball for ab exercises. Not only will the ball protect your back provided you don't go into some crazy position, but the unstable surface provided by the ball will allow you to activate your core more. It is for these reasons that using a ball for ab workouts is a far better choice than the crunch machine.

They Come, Nocturne

They Come, Blitzkid

They Come, Accessory
They Come
Paralyzed by fear
As the vultures pick at my feet
And my skin is simply ripped off
In the blackness of the void
The merciless punishments of man
Are treated with nonchalance
They Come
They Come
For Me
Winged demons
They live their lives
Agony and bitterness
They come for me
With heartless, thirsty mouths
They Come
They Come
For Me
Rip at my face
Get them away
They come for me
In the darkness of the day
They Come
