Of course, there are also many friends who exercise just for abdominal muscles. Every day, sit-ups, all kinds of abdominal rolls, or training content will be arranged separately for detailed abdominal muscle training.
However, I always hear many people say that abdominal muscles don't need to be practiced deliberately. Why? How can you have abdominal muscles without practicing? Let's talk about this problem briefly in this issue.
There is little room for abdominal muscle development.
Compared with the chest, shoulders, arms and other muscle groups, the development space of abdominal muscles is actually very small. And we practice abdominal muscles to make them thicker and more obvious.
But we should pay more attention to how to make the abdominal muscles more obvious than to make them thicker.
Everyone has abdominal muscles, but the key to showing abdominal muscles is not the thickness of abdominal muscles, but the body fat rate. Moreover, the thickening of abdominal muscles is very limited, and it will not increase the girth like pectoral muscles.
Therefore, compared with "having abdominal muscles", it is better to try to reduce and control the body fat rate.
A little thicker.
I believe many friends practice abdominal muscles to slim down and become abdominal muscle training.
You know, local fat loss does not exist, and there is no exercise at all. Being thin means that the whole body fat drops together. If you want to thin belly, you just need to lose fat normally, and you don't need to practice some to waste time.
Secondly, if the body fat is not reduced, the thickness of abdominal muscles (especially the lateral abdomen) has increased to a certain extent, which may lead to a thicker visual effect of your waist and abdomen.
Abdominal muscles need to look at genes
In fact, the presentation of abdominal muscles and the final visual effect not only depend on the thickness and body fat rate of abdominal muscles, but also depend on individual genes, that is, the natural shape of abdominal muscles.
Some abdominal muscles, no matter how you practice and how low your body fat is, may look thin or even not particularly clear.
But as long as some abdominal muscles can be displayed, they still look clear and full.
So for abdominal muscles, as long as you are not particularly thin, the key is that the body fat rate determines your abdominal muscles. Training the day after tomorrow will help improve your abdominal muscles, but it may not be that helpful. You don't need to work so hard on your abdominal muscles.
So some friends may find it incredible that you don't need to practice your abdominal muscles at all? Is it really enough to control body fat rate and abdominal muscles? Don't worry, and look at the next point.
Normal training is enough for abdominal muscle development.
It doesn't mean that abdominal muscles don't need to be practiced at all. It is a common strength training for upper and lower limbs, especially multi-joint compound action training, which requires abdominal stability, and even many actions require abdominal muscles to participate in high-intensity contraction.
In other words, when we usually practice large muscle groups, the stimulation of abdominal muscles is actually enough. If you want abdominal muscles, you need to pay more attention to controlling body fat, so you don't have to be a abdominal muscle training.
Of course, if you just want to practice, it is not impossible. Special abdominal muscle training can really stimulate abdominal muscles directly, but there is absolutely no need to spend too much effort on abdominal muscles for the above reasons.
As long as your whole muscles are large and your body fat is well controlled, your abdominal muscles depend largely on your genes.
Well, that's why you don't need abdominal muscles. I hope it helps you. Let's go
