KINGfit

My journey began with transforming from obese to lean through diet and exercise...I want to make the world better, if only one person at a time.

Bettering myself with every day. I was formerly 265 pounds, consisting of 39.7% body fat. With dedication, I transformed my body into 185 lbs composed of 8.7% body fat. Wanting to share the experience of life feeling healthy, strong, and more confident, I began helping others to attain their specific fitness goals. The way to achieve fitness goals is accountability, inside and outside the gym. Eve

Exercises

Core focused:

Decline bench spinal flexion
Stability ball prone/extension, supine/flexion, side-lying/lateral flexion

Less effective: cable crunches,
Standing lateral flexion with plates - cables supply consistent resistance and most people shift their hips instead of flexing their spine

Primary functions of your core muscles are creating a stable foundation for your global muscles to generate force - ex. Pullup, or to articulate your spine, ribcage, and pelvis in the transverse plane.
When people make reference to the “lower abs” they are usually engaging their iliopsoas muscles that originate from the medial perimeter of the liacus and lower lumbar region respectively. This gives a feeling that you’re working your “lower abs” because of their placement. Your abdominal wall will contract from the pelvis to the abdominal aponeurosis/ribs as understood by the “all-or-nothing” contractile muscle theory. A lot of times people are performing concentrated hip flexion because they use excessive weight instead of focusing on the flexion of the spine.

I can go on and on and maybe I’ll come back and flesh this out but I wanted to address a question asked of me. As time goes on this Instagram will likely serve as a dumping ground or repository (depending on your perspective) of what I know from decades of training.

But then again, what do I know? I’m just a dude from Michigan.
