Every bodybuilder wants six pack abs, and now the best way to get them is by using a six pack strap! You not only can achieve the “ultimate” six pack abs, but get the strong back to go with them.
Regular ab straps hook up to the chin-up bar and hang down and then you hook your arms into them. You life your knees to your chest, which may be difficult, especially for the inexperienced bodybuilder. The other problem is not being able to add any additional weight so there’s no progressive overload.
In order to get your six pack abs you need a high intensive output and progressive overload. You can’t achieve this the way you want to with a regular ab strap. The six pack strap has what’s called a “paratrooper handle” which makes the difference in your workout. Using it, you will also be exercising you abdominal oblique muscles along with the others.
The six pack strap works out your back muscles in concert with your abdominal muscles. The regular ab straps and crunch machines won’t work your back muscles that are the antagonistic muscles to your abdominals. This allows for an imbalance of strengths and opens you up to back aches and injuries. It’s much better to work out in a way that works the two together.
There are several other unique exercise that you can do with it. There is a weighted low pulley and high pulley crunch. In the high pulley crunch you work only the abs without any involvement of the chest muscles, biceps or triceps. This is what you want from an ab workout! One of the other exercises is a low pulley row for the lower back. Again, this works those critical lower back muscles to keep them in balance with your abdominal muscles and allows you you have a nice, strong back.
The original ab straps were a good idea to start with, but the six pack strap provides a workout that develops equally your abs, obliques and lower back muscles for maximum results.
