In this paper, it should go around the rectus abdominis , the rectus abdominis muscle. A muscle, its appearance is completely overrated in our society. And is therefore completely false and overtrained.
First, we must be one in mind: Only in a society where, as in Germany 37 million adults and 2 million children are overweight, can you have a stomach muscle as overrated. Would we humans grow mainly on the legs and start there would be fat, probably the gastrocnemius (the thick muscle in your back calf) muscle of the most depicted in the popular press and in numerous fitness newspapers. In India or Africa however, the interest in a well-developed abdominal muscles is very limited. Including, if one is slim and fit?
An osteopath designated times to me over the stomach muscle as one of the most important muscles in the body. I asked him, conversely, what muscle because the body is not important. He was then himself on the ropes and had a warm laugh at his statement. Both of doctors and fitness trainers of abdominal training is strongly recommended. First, to stabilize the body from the front more and sit up. Second, problems with his back. What has not yet rumgesprochen in the above groups: the abdominal muscle is a flexor, and first creates countless back problems. He has either the rib cage toward pelvis. Or if the chest is stiff, the pelvis to the chest. Sometimes both. If you train a flexor, he can obviously bend better. And do not support or stabilize better. The shorter the abdominal muscles, the more rounded, the back, the more will disappear the lordosis of the lower spine. The lumbar support is the evolutionary feature that lets us just go erect. It is fair to say who submits to an excessive increase abdominal training, physically and mentally down in the evolution of some steps.
One must also know that muscle training modified, particularly the cross-section of the muscle. He is so thick. This, however, obviously shorter. With regular abdominal training does so contrary to the medical recommendation, a just the opposite. Instead of stabilizing the body, reduce the abdominal muscles even more and pull the chest down tight. Added is that it is not the straight abdominal muscles that stabilize the body from the front. But the rectus is transverse , the transverse abdominal muscle.
Just because know some of the problems described above, exercise / stretch very intelligent people, the opponents of the abdominal muscles on the back of her body. It sounds totally logical to, however, arises an infantile thinking. To understand this, you have to dip a little deeper into the body structure. The body would be ideal in its structure if it were as straight as a pencil. Imagine a pencil with its flat end on a table, then he stands by themselves. Because he is in balance and consumes the least energy. One should also approach this ideal line as far as possible. The difference is that we need these joints and some play. As optimal a slight zig-zag line has been established. This allows us maximum freedom of movement with minimum energy use. Furthermore, it occurs in humans is not an outer, in a straight line, but inside a line. group at or nearby this inner line is, all body parts. As rates has also emerged a slightly convex shape of the front. On the back of the body we have to gain a spine. On the front lacking this amplification. Therefore, it is advantageous if it is slightly convex, marked by the pubic bone to the clavicle. The front is concave pronounced, she collapses and falls to the ground. Gravity does the rest and pulls the head and upper body more forward / down. The left, the correct grouping of body parts around an imaginary vertical line e . law, we recognize the man as he meets us frequently in the streets.
They are the back muscles, which must now increasingly work against the front of the train, so that the man is not completely collapses into itself. For weeks and months, the back muscles are overtaxed. Actually these muscles is to raise the body and extend. Now they must hold against and prevent collapsing. Through this ongoing train the front takes the back functions in the body for which it is not provided. It is inflexible and hard. The last pictures you can clearly see what I mean. The train the abdominal muscles is so strong that the chest muscles, including the clavicles flat downwards. The tension of the chest muscles is very intense. Consequently, it also pulls the shoulders forward. The hood muscle (trapezius) should these tensions the front to keep up with their own strong tension. He arches up and keeps the front from above. After the abdominal muscles and the chest with blue Senmotic were extended and are again taken more from the bottom, the trapezius muscles relax and the basic work to meet again.
It would be nonsense to suggest now an abdominal muscle training. The nonsense is multiplied if one were to exercise his back muscles around the train on the front removed. The back muscles increases only in cross section and may possibly to be even better. But that's not their job. To that extent by muscle training no balance or even function. But existing problems worsen and become manifest. This is also the reason why you can not improve physical fitness training body structure. One can only existing concrete physical problems and hide under biceps. And if you have read this review . Exercising also creates until many structural imbalances in the body
Just because the mass of itself in need of treatment physicians, Physios and fitness trainer does thoughtless little or recommend, it will not be the truth ! The solution is as usual: Do the opposite! If someone wants to be fit and pain-free, you have to extend the abdomen, then the back muscles can by itself up again. There is a balance. In one of my posts I mentioned once the Bundesliga footballers Podolski. I pointed out how much his stomach muscle is shortened. And as a result, the front of his body is concave instead of convex. The fact that Podolski gets a stiff back, was only a matter of time. Now it was time. Podolski was dropped due to his back pain. The guy is not yet 30 years old. In the pictures below to see what I mean by balance between front and back. On the pictures one sees how the shape of the back changes when the front extends and the changes in the position of the head.
I will probably confirm to everyone that a muscle works, the better and more relaxed he is. You can check for yourself quite easily: let your arm hang loose and all tips you quickly with your index finger to his nose. Now lift your forearm slightly and hold it in this difficult position. Tap now back quickly to his nose. The difference in responsiveness and speed is clearly felt and visible. Even so this must be the abdominal muscles nice and long and relaxed. In a chronically shortened Position suffers its responsiveness.
The abdominal muscles must also be able to easily extend to the important can take place contralateral movement between the pelvis and shoulder girdle. For rotations in the body, even if they take place in remote parts of the body, you need just a relaxed lengthening rectus. For example, if you sit upright and will turn his head. . This movement begins in the lower back and abdomen
Moreover: In the medical literature are often seen as opponents of the rectus abdominis muscle, only the back muscles called (especially the erector, the two thick lines on both sides of the spine). A very important opponent of the straight abdominal muscles is also the gluteus maximus , the great Pomuskel. This depends on the hip and is the muscle that makes us even walk upright. If we are to raise the Gluteen from behind, must be the abdominal muscles long and relaxed on the front. Are they permanently tense, they pull the pelvis forward and upward. The gluteus maximus on the back of the tank just has to and gets under continuous tension. Under tension, it can not raise us really. The interaction of Pomuskel and abdominal muscles makes it easy to the experience itself. Tighten your belly so that your back is around and walk backwards very quickly. Let your stomach go now and be really long and walk back very quickly reverse. When you run faster, coordinated and effortless?
