Instagram is a wonderful world when you sift through the irrelevant content. A good post by .morin.1 brought this exercise to the forefront of my mind and had a go this morning to see how it can be implemented and how it stacks up with other similar movements.

Keep it simple.

Ab exercise Effectiveness by EMG activity.

What is EMG activity?
EMG activity measures the electrical signals produced by muscles during contraction, showing how much a muscle is activated during an exercise. Things to be aware of however, EMG placement can affect readings.

Does this mean these exercises make you stronger?
No 100% guarantees but with correct application of reps sets and resistance where appropriate you can certainly achieve strength gains. Key takeaway from this is that understanding activation is fantastic when wanting to develop awareness, stability and ensure we are recruiting the areas we want to see adaptation from. But this doesn’t automatically make you stronger.

How should I use this information?
Fantastic for ensuring you are recruiting all areas of the trunk(360 degrees of the “core”).
If you have identified a weakness in either abdominals or obliques then this can be used as a menu to choose the most effective exercises from.
