The Stomach Vacuum is an isometric contraction (tenses the muscle without moving it) of the Transversus Abdominus (The abs under your abs). A stronger Transversus Abdominus can create a stronger Valsalva Maneuver (the powerful exhale necessary to contract a muscle during an intense workload).
- 
The Transversus Abdominus and Lumbar Multifidus are the inner abdominal muscles. These muscles are rarely discussed, and the most neglected. These muscles lie beneath the Rectus Abdominus and External Obliques. The inner abdominal muscles support posture and control deep breathing during power movements, such as heavy squats. They are responsible for back support. Since they are rarely targeted, they are often weaker. By building a stronger inner abdominal wall, you can limit and relieve back pain, create a tighter midsection, and add explosive power to your training.
- 
Also, building this area of the abdominal muscle will help you gain more control over your "abs" and assist you better in explosive lifts. Stomach Vacuums take practice, but they are extremely effective.
- 
Doing this exercise alone will not give you a 6 pack although it will strengthen your abs and assist you with every exercise you perform as every exercise bar some isolation of the limbs require the abs for stabilization , also the stomach vacuum can raise your blood pressure as you isometrically contract the muscle. If you have high blood pressure or are pregnant, skip the move entirely just to be safe! .
