In this 7th installment of our Badass Workout of the Week, PJ Braun, president of Blackstone Labs and Prime Nutrition focuses on the all-important abs with a combination of moves and techniques that will help strengthen and chisel your midsection.
This badass workout is the only ab routine you will ever need to do. Many people get overly caught up in training abs, but when doing heavy compound moves or functional work, the core gets stimulated like crazy (when your form is correct), so the most important thing is to think about designing your outline around things you can’t normally do. The main thing being reverse curvature of the spine. In life we bend forward all day but we never move from the floor up with our core, and we seldom move our spines backwards lengthening our core.
