Stomach Vacuum?

[Dave_19]

Does any one feel this exercise can actually thin/narrow your waist line? I know arnold swore by it, but that doesn't mean a whole lot considering it was the 70's.

Im no expert but It may thin it alitle bit but only in the sense that you can suck your stomach in further and easier. I think there great. some people cant suck it in at all and others suck it down and make the illusion of having a 28inch waist when they may have a 33 or 34 inch waist.

I may try this awhile and form my own opinion. I think it was Frank Zane who beleived this was great exercise for wait area too.

in melvin anthony's dvd, he's in the locker room posing with milos, shawn ray, john brown, and some other guy and they get to talking about that and he said he lays on the floor and does it...and has been for years. this was the video of him training up the contest he won his pro card (usa's?). he wasnt talking directly to the camera or anything but to milos. ive been thinking about trying this as well as ive noticed my stomach seems to be coming distended a good amount.

i do them in the tanning bed along with holding my legs as tight & as hard as i can...i think they help with holding your stomach without realizing you are doing it...
