Random Fitness Questions

Thanks,

Just to ask what's the name of that exercise that I do?

I must say to you, seeing as I asked you about forward head posture before, if you've came across this guy. Probably not, but I'm quite interested in his channel... he claims that forward head posture can be corrected. Here he talks about Jordan Peterson's forward head posture.

I found it. It's called the Cork Screw! it targets the transverse abdominis.

Is this what you meant to say?

"It doesn't lift or rotate the pelvis like the rectus abs or oblique abs do... which is what the movement in that exercise does."?

The instructor in that video said it worked the transverse abs. Is she wrong?

And what ways are there to isolate the transverse abdominis?

I think what confused me was the fact that you put a full stop (instead of a comma) before the word 'Which', which shouldn't shouldn't have been a new sentence, which should've also had the word 'does' at the end of it!

Anyway, is the instructor wrong? And if she is, then how do you target your transverse abs?

I think this is what we're looking for, for training the transverse abs.

That's a little uncalled for. I'm just making a few changes to my ab workout at the moment, hence the enthusiasm. I've been doing pretty much the same ab routine for the last 13 years. I'm not ignoring the advice, and more so just asking for advice.

Do you consider these guys to be experts or not? I notice you didn't use inverted commas around the word 'experts' so perhaps you didn't mean it sarcastically. If you think they are charlatans then come on out and say it. I don't believe everything I hear if that's what you're implying, and that's why I'm asking questions. Have you watched the videos?

I'm presume you know Jeff Cavaliere is as he's quite well known. His belly is very flat (in its relaxed state) and that's the aesthetic I desire... you don't desire that look very much and that's fine. But those exercises obviously work for him, so is he wrong in saying that they would also work for others? And there is nothing wrong with taking a bit more interest in one muscle group than another.

The Dr gains guy seems like more of a charlatan to me. He's saying that you have to do this very very specific exercise in order to target your abs properly. You've seen what he said from 6:20 in that video? about studies having shown that different factors affect the region of muscle grown within a muscle.

So Jeff's lying about the training he does as well as taking performance enhancers. He exercise routine might actually be quite simple, instead doing all these specific isolation exercises??

His defined abs may be to lower body fat more so than exercise selection. However, it's the fact that his lower abs are not only defined, but very far in! And don't tell me he's sucking his stomach in the whole time during those 5 minute presentations he gives.
