Six pack abs are all the rage and the best way to get them is by using a six pack strap! Who doesn’t want hard chiseled abdominal muscles? Better yet, how about a strong back to go with them?
The six pack strap works your back muscles along with your abs. It develops your back the way you want instead of the way normal ab straps work. Regular ab straps and crunch machines will not work your back muscles which are the opposing muscles of your abdominals. This allows for an imbalance of strength and opens you up to back pain and injuries. It is much better to work in a way that makes both work together.
Regular ab straps hang below the chip-up bar so you can tuck your arms into them and hang there. You then lift your knees up to your chest, which can be difficult to do, especially for inexperienced bodybuilders. You also have the problem of not being able to add any extra weight.
You need a high intensity output and progressive overload to get your six pack abs. You can’t get over it the way you want to with a regular ab strap. Six pack straps are called “paratrooper handles” that make a difference in your workout. By using it, you will be exercising the oblique muscles of the abdomen along with others.
There are many other unique exercises that you can do with it. Have a weighted low pulley and high pulley crunch. In high pulley crunch, you work only abs without involving chest muscles, biceps or triceps. This is what you want from an ab workout! One of the other exercises for the lower back is a low pulley row. Again, this works those important lower back muscles to keep them in balance with your abdominal muscles and allows you to have a nice, strong back.
The Six Pack Strap provides a unique workout for your abdominals, obliques and lower back muscles for maximum results.
