Omaha Strength Coach- Strong Abdominal Muscles

February 18, 2011

Whaaaaa!!!!!

That’s right, the man you see in the picture above is a bad ass! He’s considered to be the most talented martial artist of all time and I will not dispute that…

I’m definitely a fan of his work ethic and mental toughness when it comes to developing self. After all, WE are our own worst enemies.  We can learn many things from him!

He was also known for his unbelievable strength with his two-fingered push-ups to pull-ups holding onto a 2×4. That is some serious grip strength people…

One thing that stands out to me is the development and strength of his abdominal muscles. There are many questions about how to get six-pack abs so I’m going to share what you can do.

Bruce Lee can do two-fingered push-ups! That alone takes tremendous balance and stability of the body. If you have ever done a plank you can see why this exercise is critical for that area.

Here’s a couple of exercises and circuits you can try!

First realize that if you’re a beginner you must start with basic movements then progress as you get stronger.

Start with planks holding bodyweight for 15 seconds to 1 minute.

Here’s the breakdown…

 

Beginner:

1)Front plank, left & right side also. 45 seconds on the front and 30 each side total 1:45 sec

Advanced Circuit no rest in between sets:

1) Leg raises 1×15

2) Russian Twist 1×15

3) Plank Knee to Elbow 1×15

Super Advanced Circuit no rest in between sets:

1) Hanging Knee To Elbows 1×15

2) Hanging Wind Shield Wipers 1×10-15

3) Full body Leg Raises 1×10-20

There ya have it! Give these a whirl and take your time on them. I once progressed way too fast in these and suffered from a strained abdominal muscle.

Take your time…

Stay Strong!
