Great Abs Using Kettlebell Exercises

With the decline in popularity of the isolation exercise for the Abdominals, the meteoric rise in popularity in kettlebell workouts has come at a good time and resulted in some awesome looking Abdominal muscles in gyms up and down the country.

It has been a long time since personal trainers advised that sit-ups were the way to achieve the perfect six pack as science and training techniques have improved over the years.

In no way shape or form am I advising you to completely abandon traditional Abs exercises as they do work to a certain extent but truly powerful abdominal muscles are only achieved through shifting heavy weight.

The body only improves to the amount of stress you put it under, consider how much stress you place your Abs under, performing the plank for example.................. a good solid bodyweight exercise, but one that will not induce growth in your Abs as why would it?

Truly powerful Abs that you come across are on display on power athletes such as weight lifters, sprinters, boxers etc. The truth is that only powerful, explosive movements that engage the fast twitch muscle fibres will induce muscular growth within the Abdominal wall.

This brings us to Kettlebell Workouts and how they bring about powerful looking Abs. The very nature of a any Kettlebell exercise especially the full body movements such as the Kettlebell swing and the Kettlebell clean require a lot of forceful momentum to drive the weight forward. This explosive force used engages the Abs and forces them to support explosive powerful movements. The result is that the muscle starts to resemble muscular tissue that is powerful such as the Deltiods of a Shot putter. This powerful muscle tissue is the difference between someone who has a 'six pack' visible due to low body fat and the rippling muscular tissue of a powerful athlete in which the Abs can be visible through a t-shirt.
