Rock-hard abs!

Mee eens. Het lijkt een beetje een taboe geworden, maar buikspieren trainen met behulp van elektromagnetische signalen kan echt goed werken. Ik merk 't zelf heel duidelijk! Alleen, het gaat (natuurlijk) niet vanzelf. Je moet het sàmen met andere buikspieroefeningen doen (èn-èn), en gedurende langere tijd de discipline opbrengen om het dagelijks te doen; de meesten geven na een paar weken al teleurgesteld op. Zelfs zo'n standaard abtronic buikriem kan, na een weekje of twintig, je een mooi wasbordje opleveren als je de volgende regels in acht neemt (sorry, in Engels):

1. Abtronics only work in addition to “real” workout sports. With “real” I mean traditional, physically laborious sports that come with a lot of sweat. It doesn’t matter if it’s jogging, swimming, cycling, skating, fitness or whatever, but doing this is a necessary condition for abtronics to work. This is because your abs cannot be seen as isolated from the rest of your body. Keep up a good overall body condition as a whole, and your abs will respond indefinitely better to abtronics.
2. Complement the work of abtronics by stretching the same area. This is the golden rule that almost everybody seems to forget. Abtronics work by way of hundreds of brief but nasty contractions of the muscles. But this is only half of the exercise. For your abs to really develop as you picture them, you must stretch them for at least as long a period as your abtronics training lasted. So, if you’ve used the abtronic for, say, half an hour on a particular day, make sure you spend another half hour stretching that area. You can distribute the latter half hour over the day, but it is a vital part of the training.
3. Since people don’t seem to read manuals, I’ll add a few warnings: don’t use abtronics if your heart doesn’t function properly; don’t use it if there’s epileptica in your family; don’t use it if you’re pregnant; don’t use it if you have wounds on the area that you want to train, or had any wounds there in the past month.
4. Excessive bodily fat is a problem. Abtronics are designed to stimulate muscles, and less to eliminate bodily fat. However, if you have too much bodily fat on your belly (which is frequently the case with men), the muscle training will be less effective than you would like to. The recommended solution is to schedule one abtronics training each day using the “fat burner” program, and combine this with a traditional sweating sport, such as jogging or swimming. This is because the only real way to get rid of bodily fat is to burn it. A healthy diet also helps, but more in preventing fat, less in removing it.
5. As with everything, your muscles must get used to this method of training. Muscles are lazy by nature, and abtronics give them quite a shock! If you use high intensity levels from the very start, you are asking for trouble. The abtronics contractions must feel good. Take two weeks on the lowest intensity level, for ten minutes each day. The effect is no more than a pleasant massage, but it’s a necessary first step. In fact, never use the highest intensity levels unless you’re more than ten weeks underway.
6. Timing: although the manual states that you can use abtronics any time of the day, there are definitely more suitable times than others. Do not train while having breakfast, lunch or dinner; more importantly, do not train when you’re less than three hours away from bedtime. The vibration of the pulses of abtronics lingers on inside your body for a few hours – which is why abtronics are forbidden for people with epileptic problems. The best time for ab training is one to two hours after eating.
7. The use of abtronics can cause (minor) skin burns on the area that you are training. This is because we have a layer of skin that protects the muscles that lie beneath that skin. Contrary to regular fitness, abtronics train the muscles through the skin. Hence, make sure that you always apply a royal amount of water-based gel on both the belt and the area of your body that you’re training. When you put on the belt, make sure you can still glide it to and fro a bit – this means that the gel will do its work, namely to channel the abtronics’ signals directly through the skin to the muscles.
8. Keep up the discipline and have faith. Most people are disappointed after a few weeks’ training because they do not yet see the abs that they dream of, and stop using abtronics altogether. Result: failure and frustration. Others forget regular exercise because they are “too busy”. Nonsense. If your goal is to have fenomenal-rippling abs, the abtronics can do this for you – if you can keep up the discipline of using it every day for at least thirty weeks on end. Many people find this not easy, but the ones that manage to keep up, are rewarded with breathtaking abs (and much increased self-confidence as an even greater reward). So stop whining and just do it.

Kortom, ik denk dat iedereen die teleurgesteld is in abtronics, 'm niet op de goeie manier heeft gebruikt. Ik zie bij mezelf dat-ie wel degelijk werkt.

Hmm, als je het moet combineren met joggen, zwemmen en dergelijke, en je doet er nog andere buikspieroefeningen bij, tjah ... Hoor je ze dat er in de reclames bij zeggen ? En heeft het dan nog wel een toegevoegde waarde ? Is er ergens een studie die twee groepen vergelijkt, waarbij 1 cardio doet en buikspieroefeningen, en de andere hetzelfde plus die abtronic ? En vooral een onafhankelijke studie :D. Ik denk dat ik het antwoord al weet. Individuele ervaringen missen nogal wat bewijskracht.
 
Ik kon de "woodchop" ook nergens vinden, iemand?

En crunches met gewichten, ik neem aan dat je bedoelt dat je gewoon een 10kg (of 5 ofzo) schijf op je borst legt en ze dan doet?
 
Jinxxx.. lees je dan zelfs deze draad niet eens? :rolleyes:
Er staan 2 plaatjes in van hoe de wood chop gedaan moet worden.
Zelf trek ik de pulley helemaal door tot op de grond.

O ja.. google maar eens met de woorden: wood chop pulley exercise
dan vind je vast wat.. zo heb ik die plaatjes ook gevonden.
Lees ook maar eens dat magazine www.dolfzine.com voor ideeën.

Lol....

Okay, ik zat er effe snel over heen te lezen (was op me werk en mag daar helemaal geen gebruik maken van internet). Ik dacht dat je een andere oefening zat te beschrijven.

Voor de oefeningen kijk ik meestal op Exr en Biomechanics (met avi's!) en kom hem daar niet vinden.

My bad
