Thrash Your Abs - Part 1
By Elliott Hulse
Thrash Your Abs
With 1 Explosive ¡°Primal¡± Circuit
Rip-up your midsection and set your metabolic
dial to incinerate, with 5 explosive core
movements done exclusively with cables? Not
only am I about to destroy several ugly myths
about core training but I am also going to hand
you the keys to the most dynamic training circuit
that has ever been designed.
If you are interested in having someone regurgitate the
same old ¡°core crap¡± that you are used to hearing with
a new spin on it¡ then don't bother reading this article.
I am about to expose you to a revolutionary paradigm
with regard, not only shredding your abs to pieces, but
also creating the most physically attractive and
functionally sound, ¡°rock solid¡± physique that you've
ever imagined.
The first thing on the chopping block is the idea that
your abs are meant to be isolated in exercise. Many of
us have been conditioned to believe that in order to
fulfill our physical potential we must ¡°pick and choose¡±
what body parts we are going to work on. This is the
same idea that has pervaded western medicine and
has created a million ¡°specialists¡± that continue to
know more and more about less and less. When we
begin to realize the ¡°relatedness¡± that everything has to
one another we will experience transformation in our
physiques, our vitality, our energy levels and our minds.
You are in integrated assembly of systems and
nowhere is this Truth more evident than with regard to
your core.
Today, our bodies are an exact expression of what our
ancestors were over 100,000 years ago (4). It is
believed that it takes about 100,000 years for
0.001percent of a genome to change¡ so yourself
and Primal Man are essentially the same (6). With the
generally understood stance that Primal Man was a
hunter and gatherer it is safe to say that our bodies are
still designed with the primary objective of hunting and
gathering (4).
Our nervous system is designed in such a way that its
most important function is to protect the vital organs
and brain, so that you can get off your ass and search
for sustenance in the great, dangerous wilderness (3).
Obviously today we can just go to the local
supermarket, but consider that this was not always the
case. Primal Man and even Agricultural Man had to
hunt and work HARD for his food.
Through evolution, our amazing nervous system has
integrated all of our organs with our muscles. Each of
your organs acts as the ¡°soil¡± in which all of your
external elements (arms, legs, abdominals, etc.) have
sprung forth and therefore are linked via the nervous
system (7). The left arm, for example is intrinsically
linked via the nervous system to your heart. This
explains why someone who is having a heart attack
has their left arm go numb. The inhibitory effect on the
muscles due to organ pain or inflammation is called
viscero-somatic inhibition (VSI) (3).
¡°So what the hell does all of this mean for me and my
flabby abs 'Primal Guy'?¡±
If it is understood that the function of your muscles are
contingent upon the health and function of your organs
and that the primary purpose of your having muscles is
to hunt and gather so that you can sustain life - then I've
just opened up a huge can of worms for ya!
The strength and function of your muscles, your
abdominals in particular are severely effected by the
health of your organs. Your deep abdominal wall, or
transversus abdominus, is in the same nervous loop as
your colon (3). So, if your colon is pissed off because
you fill your gut with processed foods like protein
shakes, ¡°sports drinks¡± and bars¡ then you can expect
your ¡°enormous bellyus¡± to only grow bigger, even as
you crunch your life away!
So the first essential prerequisite for completing the
program that I have outlined below is: Clean Up Your
Insides If you Want Your Outside To Look Good!
No ab routine in the world is going to work for you if you
continue to inhibit the muscles of your deep abdominal
wall through a dysfunctional lifestyle and a poor,
processed foods diet.
Next, the exercise program I've outlined below is
¡°integrated¡±¡ it takes into account that your abs, being
an intrical part of your ¡°core¡±, the originator of all
movements and, the protector of your organs¡ works
together with every muscle in your body and in all
movement patterns¡ as it has for thousands of years
(1,2). Imagine Primal Man needing to use a Crunch
Machine so that his abs would be strong enough to
propel a spear through the ribcage of a stampeding
buffalo for dinner!
The exercises below are not designed to isolate your
abdominals but to integrate them¡ the way they are
designed to work.
When you have begun to integrate your abdominals
into all of your movements you will realize a rapid
increase in your core musculature (5). For example,
secondary to my legs, the sorest part of my body - a
day after doing heavy dead lifts are my abs. This is
due to my understanding of how this mechanism works
and making a conscious effort to integrate my core into
the bend pattern. You can do this too, and when you
do¡ ab training will never be the same!
Say goodbye to boring post-exercise ab routines that
serve to isolate only the abs and hello to the most
exciting and effective full-body, TRUE core circuit ever
developed. Build sturdy legs, cannon-like arms and,
dominating strength while Thrashing Your Abs!
