Vacuum pose

[Azwrkoutcrw]

Can anyone tell me what the point of the vacuum pose is? To me it looks extremely strange! And also extremely hard to do! Who here can do the vacuum?

It exaggerates your upper body..some people can pull it off nice, some can't.
Big Dave Smith here can do it really good..I kinda can..it take a lot of work to get good with it.

I do them

I can do one and I do 100's of them a week. They can make your waist smaller if you do enough of them.

Agree

Aeli actually makes two points
1) Posing: it's a rare pose, but if done right it does make the rest of your body "pop-out" (visually I mean) to the viewer... look up "Frank Zane vacuum pose" and you'll see.

2) For training: doing the vacuum pose works the "transverse abdominis" muscle. It's a muscle that runs horizontal under all the other abdominal muscles and serves as a "girdle" if you will. It will pull in the stomach when relaxed.

I haven't done those in a long time Aeli, thanks for mentioning that... I may have to incorporate those again!

I do them as part of my ab training. I they have giving me tighter l look and helped me learn to control my abs much better. I higher recommend them although I have never done one on stage

Stomach vacuums are great for the transverse abdominis. Love them.

Used the search function for discussion of vaccums instead of just being lazy and making a new thread.

Good answere. I often browse old threads and almost repky because I forget in reading stuff from 5 years ago. Someone's it'd good to set of threads resurrected. When im not a fat fuck vaccine is one thing I exell in as I have a naturally small waist and lose my visceral fat very very easily even with slin and gh use. I should start doing them to tighten my mid section tbh. I get lazy with core stuff sadly

Hah! Depends on the phone. On my galaxy s4: settings, my device, language and input, then the settings button next to the keyboard input you're using. Should be able to turn off predictive text there.

Then afterwards, for your browsing pleasure, read the damnyouautocorrect website.

Funny website. Thanks for help

That's a movement I could never nail myself.
FRANK ZANE is a legend when It comes to the vacuum
pose.

 

[IronManRep]

If done correctly the vacum pose can look extremely graceful on stage. I like it

I used to always hit one on stage; I found them to be fairly easy to do. I would get a little crowd reaction but they didn't win me larger trophies.

You still need to be complete to win.

It's just a cool shot. Maybe if all things were equal, but your opponent fighting for position had a gut, it would push you into 1st.

If not, still looks cool for posing routines!

Of course. Fun to do if nothing else. Never expected to be catapulted into an overall win by doing one. If I decide to do a show as a 60+ I'm sure I'll throw it in again.

Two of my favorite poses I could never execute superbly:
-Vacuum pose
-Serge Olivia both arms up pose (forgot the name)

they are both pretty badass.
