These both work out the transverse abdominis right? If so, why do they feel so different?

I can hold a dead bug and then add a stomach vaccuum on top of that. I cant wrap my brain around why this is the case if both exercises work the TA. It’s like flexing the glute and then flexing it again in a different way on top of that

Also, which of the 2 exercises is better for fixing anterior pelvic tilt?

Crazy stuff

Reading through my old posts and i miss being so strong and cut. I can still squat but not jump much else my knees act up. My dunking days are over unless someone can figure this out

Currently getting back to being serious in the gym. I barely made any net progress in like 7 years

Need to cut a bit. Im doing some bodybuilding style stuff now (which i should be primed for after doing strength training for like a decade!) maybe for a year before going back to strength training

Training via mike mentzer’s principles right now (1 set to absolute failure) and loving it

Need to start logging my workouts again!

I still remember after you finally fixed the thread title, andrew had to restore an earlier version of the forum and so we are still on kingfoosh for years

That first vid is crazy

Alright unusual question but are you having strange dreams?

- seeing snakes
- people shaped weirdly
- falling from a high place
- someone threatening you in the dream
- someone having sex with you

Anything of that sort? How often?

Ever get you iron levels checked? What about D3? B12?
