Serouisly, I remember reading it in the NASM textbook, then googling it to further understand, and I kind of understood it but with the help of this video I understood it in 8 mins!
@@nickrodriguez9867 woooo, how time flies haha! I passed my exam about 2 months ago now and have a pretty cool gig with it! Good luck on your exam and the knowledge portion. Exam was harder than I expected but still managed!
Just watched so many videos instructing to use "bracing" instead of "drawing in" but I totally agree with you that both can be used depending on the exercise or activity. I am not a specialist neither an athlete just someone trying to reduce back pain by strengthing my core.
When performing drawing in maneuver your body must be relaxed like doing hook lying while doing it so that the transversus abdominis muscle must be isolated. trans ab muscle is one of the primary core stablizers.
I am newly postpartum, baby is 6 months and I am confused on when I can reintroduce bracing? I’ve been doing tons of breathing in mechanism to build back my core and transverse. However now when I lift heavy or attempt to and attempt to brace the pushing out makes me look pregnant again 🫣😬 do you recommend anything ?
Do you know how I can maintain the brace longer when doing these exercises? I’m afraid at some point during my exercises I will accidentally let the brace go after using the technique. Should I practice breathing while bracing on my own time? Please let me know.
Thanks, it clarify my delima as I have diastasis recti and I was doing exercises wrong by bracing instead of drawing in, so just reversing the effect 😔
Very impressive. This is something that NASM does not teach-the when, why, and purpose of doing bracing and/or drawing-in. Excellent video, sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@Gmo630 I’m literally doing this right now 😂 I couldn’t picture it. I know bracing, but I wanna see it. Page 230, Chapter 9. 👍

Hey! Here for nasm example as well 😂😂
i really wish all of these muscle demonstration should show how muscle move during coring. All the cloth has already cover them. Very hard to see

This is the most amazing video after spending hours learning how to engage the core muscles.❤
Excellent. I’ve always been unsure of what is best and you have helped massively ❤
Glad we could help!
This helped me so much I couldn't understand and you cleared it all up.
Thank you very much sir. Was very detailed and informative 🤝
Excellente tutorial! Thank you very much 😊
pulling in your belly button is more for people who want a tiny waist,bracing doesn’t give you that,
Awesome information for Bracing VS Drawing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So are there not specific exercises where you should brace vs drawing in? Thanks for this explanation.
What about squats? I would think it’s better to contract and brace always for this with or without air inhaled
Nice video man, thanks for the information!
Do multifidus muscles engage in both??
Multifidus engages in drawing maneuvere
How the heck do you breathe when you're bracing?
Excellent video, tried reading from book got confused only thanks it helped
Glad it helped!
I’ve noticed if I cue up drawing in as my primary function my core will brace naturally when put under stress.
That's what I've noticed too
Thank you, very good and important!!!
This was very helpful thank you so much.
thank you for researching!

Have u read the McGill books or listened to any of his videos… so far ahead with his research I think he’d disagree with your statement💁♂️

Bracing is still best overall, but you can vary it up.
When I brace my abs, I feel pressure and a little hurt in my lower back, I dont know why? Whoud you tell me why?
Well clarified* gd video
Thank you
Excellent
