Let's test your abdominal muscle strength?

Are your abdominal muscles strong enough? How to test the strength of your abdominal muscles?

　　Abdominal muscle strength training has always been the key to any sports! Many people have cool 6-pack abs but not big, they have strong abdominal muscle strength!

　　Or they did not fully exert the strength of your abdominal muscles!

　　How is your abdominal muscle strength? Let's do a test together!

　　The rectus abdominis is very important in maintaining the pelvis in the correct position (this indirectly prevents lower back pain).

　　Let's do a test now,

　　　The rectus abdominis is very important in maintaining the pelvis in the correct position (this indirectly has the effect of preventing lower back pain).

　　Let's do a test now,

　　　The rectus abdominis muscle is very important in maintaining the pelvis in the correct position (this indirectly has the effect of preventing lower back pain).

　　Let's do a test now,

　　1. Lying flat on the cushion with your hands flat on both sides of your body, lift your lower limbs, bend your knees and hips so that your lower waist is pressed against the cushion, and your thighs are approximately perpendicular to the ground.

　　2. Then start slowly lowering your lower limbs to keep the angle of the knee joint unchanged

　　3. Key point: Keep your lower waist and continue to be pressed against the cushion. When you find that your lower waist is arched (the lower back leaves the cushion), record this position

　　　If the thigh and the ground are inclined at this time, it means that your abdominal muscles are not strong enough (through the abdominal muscles Training angle can get smaller and smaller).

　　　If you can easily reach this angle or even lower, you can try to change it to a straight leg test, and then tie your ankle with a sandbag. If this can be done, congratulations! Your abdominal muscles are very strong.

　So what have you trained hard every time? It is the iliopsoas muscle!

　　This muscle that is adjacent to the rectus abdominis but has a very different function is the unbreakable abdominal muscle training and destruction king.

　　The last time you are exhausted in sit-ups is the soreness of the thighs and waist. At this time, the rectus abdominis is not yet complete The part is awakened!

　　As long as the lumbar spine arches during the abdomen rolling up, it means that it has "dripped" to the psoas major muscle. If you really "dripped" to the iliopsoas muscle during abdominal muscle training

　　The muscles that originally wanted to strengthen were not really fully trained (although the abdominal muscles have also been trained), while the iliopsoas muscle that needs to be soothed and weakened was "successfully" strengthened and strengthened.

　　Now - you need to review your abdominal muscle training movements again!
