Pavel Tsatsouline's formula for a ripped powerhouse of six-pack muscle:
|
To get strong, hard, tight abs you have to do high-tension exercise which means as much tension as you can stand for 5 to 12 reps (depending on your goal). This is very different from what we’ve all been taught.
Pavel Tsatsouline's techniques include a wide variety of abdominal exercises. These are necessary because a body will adjust to an exercise, becoming more efficient in performing a specific movement. To continue getting maximum results, you have to change something, like the movement, the load, or the number of reps. Just as important, anyone following his directions will never become bored with their workout! The exercises range from the unusual "Janda Sit-Up" which is a partnered drill where the hip-flexors are "turned off" through the use of an interesting little reflex, to the elegantly simple "straight legged sit-up", to the down-right brutal and torturous "Dragon Flag", Bruce Lee’s favorite abdominal exercise.

Unedited, unsolicited testimonial (hit "Refresh" for many, many more):
|
"I am writing on behalf of the entire Board of Directors of the Texas Tactical Police Officers Association to express our sincere gratitude to you [Pavel] for helping with our Conference 2000. We trained 536 officers from 129 agencies.
Your portion of the instruction was a huge success. All of the student critiques were very complimentary. As a team leader with the Houston Police Department SWAT team, I am constantly looking for new ways to improve my physical performance. According to the student comments, you have truly introduced a new and revolutionary fitness program to our members. In particular, our members commented on your common sense, practical exercises that utilize a minimum amount of equipment to achieve the very goals that other instructors require thousands of dollars of equipment to achieve. These techniques will help each officer reach new levels of fitness and ultimately improve their ability to protect the communities they serve. It is our mission to provide the very best training available, anywhere. Your efforts helped make that possible. " "-M.L. "Sandy" Wall, Training Advisor |
