Stomach Vacuum and Abs Training

admin 18/03/2019

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a big fan of practising the stomach vacuum as part of my abs training. This is not just for vanity reasons, in that it helps keep your midsection tight and prevents any stomach distention (plus it looks cool!). But also for the overall health benefits of training the Transverse Abdominis for a strong core and healthy lower back.

I talk about this in a previous post here!

Normally I like to include stomach vacuums as part of my abs training. I mix vacuums in with each abs exercise I do, in that I hold a vacuum for a second or so after each rep. I try and do this daily if I have time.

These are some of the exercises I do.

Training during Ramadan

https://howistayfit.com/training/training-during-ramadan/ Training during Ramadan admin 07/05/2019 When you cannot eat or drink for 16 hours or so each day, what do you do?! Training during Ramadan? A question I get asked regularly each year, is how to best eat and train during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims around the world, for it is within this month that the Muslim holy book, the Qur’an, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed. A special requirement for this month is that all Muslims who are able to, are required to fast every day from sunrise to sunset, abstaining from all eating or drinking, and not even water is allowed. Harder than Intermittent Fasting Clearly this is very different from the Intermittent Fasting (IF) protocols that are popular at the moment. At least with IF you still drink fluids whilst fasting. But for Ramadan, this is not the case! To make matters even more difficult, the Islamic calendar is ba...

Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review

https://howistayfit.com/training/abolic4/ Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review admin 28/02/2019 As you probably already know, I am generally not a big fan of nutritional supplements. The reason being, is that most of the time I don’t notice any results that warrant spending money on them. Apart from Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), I usually just stick to the few basics like whey protein, creatine, omega-3 fish oil, and multi-vitamins. However, I am quite excited by the results of a new supplement that I have been experimenting with: A-Bolic4 A-Bolic4 The product I have been using is called A-Bolic4. It is made by an American company called The Lab, and it is marketed as an “anabolic growth supplement”. They claim that it “supports anabolic growth, increased metabolism, cellular integrity, and male sexual health”. My Experience Before I talk more about the supplement, and what’s in it, let me talk about my res...

Post Workout Protein and the Anabolic Window

https://howistayfit.com/diet/post-workout-protein/ Post Workout Protein and the Anabolic Window admin 13/04/2019 I remember it so well. Every time I would pack my gym bag before heading off for a workout, I would always be sure to include my post workout protein shake. It would be ready mixed in my shaker bottle, ready to be slammed back as soon as I finished the session. And on the odd occasion when I forgot to pack my protein shake, I would be horrified! I would hurry home as fast as I could, to quickly get my protein down as fast as possible. My eyes would be on my watch, as I raced the clock to consume my post workout protein shake within 45 minutes of finishing my workout. Because if I didn’t get my protein in time, that gruelling workout I had just put myself through would be a total waste. It would result in no muscle gain if I didn’t have protein within the 45-minute post workout anabolic window!...
