Use cable curls to help you build abdominal muscles!

　　Are you looking for a very useful abdominal muscle training method to help you chisel out dazzling abdominal lines? Rope curls are a good way to upgrade, but only if you do it correctly will it be useful!

　　Using cables to train abdominal muscles provides a huge advantage. The cable can increase resistance at will, and you can use more or less loads to train abdominal muscles. This method has a great effect on carving abdominal muscles

　　The following will introduce some common wrong actions of cable curls!

　　1. No curving the spine

　　When you are doing weight training, keeping your back in stable and neutral is a good form. After all, when you do squat, deadlift or bent over, the bending movement may damage your spine.

　　However, in cable curls, if your back is still straight, you cannot actively contract your abdominal muscles in all directions.

　　If the rectus abdomen wants to complete dynamic contraction, your spine must be bent 　　The lower back muscle (ereth spinal muscle) is the antagonist muscle of the rectus abdomen: when a contraction, The other is stretching. If the erection spinal muscles cannot stretch, the abs cannot contract. If they cannot contract, they cannot grow. It's that simple!

　　2. Shoulders and arms are moving

　　This error is subtle and many people have always overlooked this problem

　　To make sure you are just exercising your abs, you need to fix the end of the rope in the same position relative to the head during the movement. Don't let the rope drift up from the head

　　To make a standard cable curl, you need to completely isolate your abdominal muscles to exert force, so during the preparation process you need to place the rope at both ends of the head and lock everything in place, your upper body and arms should It is a whole to help the abdominal muscles work alone rather than shoulders or hands!

　　3. Sit down

　　　When you are close to the floor, don't let your lower body sink and sit down. You need to move your shoulders down and imagine that your shoulders can be placed on your thighs. If you are sitting on your thighs, it will greatly reduce your abdominal muscle training and make your lower body as solid as a rock to ensure that you only move in your abdomen.

　　4. The chin is too low and the neck is too curved

　　　Abdominal muscle training seems to have nothing to do with your neck, but it is not. Lowering your head too much may put too much unnecessary pressure on your neck. You need to raise your head a little and maintain a neutral and stable position.
