Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, February 1, 2023 11:00 AM When most people think about lifting weights, they think about their biceps, triceps, shoulders, and lats. Their legs, quads, hamstrings, glutes. They think about what to do with the body parts that move, that hold the weight, that push against the ground—but neglect to think about the abdominal muscles that brace, resist movement and allow you to even lift the weight in the first place. Abdominal bracing isn't flashy or sexy, but it's the most important part of lifting weights and moving your body through time and space. The best way to train your abdominal muscles are not sit ups, crunches, or leg lifts- it's bracing, intra-abdominal bracing, or abdominal bracing. Whenever you move your body or lift a weight, you practice abdominal bracing. In fact, this bracing, this increase in intra-abdominal pressure, occurs spontaneously whenever you move your limbs. That's how central it is to human movement. If you want to deadlift, squat, or overhead press, you brace. If you want to throw a punch or throw a ball, you brace. If you want to jump over on obstacle or dunk a basketball, you brace. Abdominal bracing allows force to transfer efficiently throughout your body so you can act on the physical world. If you don't practice abdominal bracing, you lose energy, drop force production, and open yourself up to injury. Another reason to focus on and perfect abdominal bracing is that it's a great "ab workout." By fulfilling the primary function of the abdominal muscles—to stabilize the body in order to transmit force—you also give your entire abdominal complex the greatest workout ever. The heavier the weight or the faster the movement, the more bracing you require and the greater the training stimulus you've just applied. The better your abdominal bracing, the more force you can generate. The more force you generate, the more force your abs will have to resist. The more force your abs resist, the stronger your abdominal muscles—all of them—grow. Now, the thing about abdominal bracing is that we're always doing it. It's a subconscious autonomic response of your body to movement and lifting. Actually, it's more than a response. It happens before the movement, almost as a forecast or prediction. The contraction of the diaphragm and tensing of the abdominal muscles occur before you actually move. How to Practice Proper Abdominal Bracing Stand up right now and try this out. The only way to understand abdominal bracing is to actually do it in practice. 1. Prepare to take a punch. Imagine you're about to take a punch. What do you do? You tighten your abs, engage your core, engage your erector spinae (back muscles that run down your spine), tighten your butt hole, and gird your loins. Apologies for the language but there's no getting around it. 2. Take a breath into your belly. Keeping your core engaged and tight in preparation for the "punch," take a nasal breath into your belly. A big one. Now, the air won't be going into your belly, … Continue reading "What is Abdominal Bracing and How to Do It?"
