THE IRONMAN BODYBUIDLING SYSTEM The Searchers and Leaders of a Revolution

IronMan Oct.1991
As part of a series I did some years ago when I was Director of Tudor Bompa Institute I did this lesson on why it was important to “monitor” your spread sheets and result graphs form your training program. I saw it today and thought it was worth publishing alone. Are there secrets here, yes. But….don’t bother if you are too lazy to perform the work to get to this point. It is not easy.
Many People are still subscribing to my old You Tube page. This is the newest one.
Here is the link for my new You tube page. I took all the music out of the old ones and re-edited many of the new ones. This page is still active because many of the article I have written are linked here. The same videos are on the new page, plus many more..If you find an article and there is no link. Just let me know and I will fix it. fred@fredkoch.com
The Biggest Mistake in Modern Sports Training
The “Core” (Abs and Lower Back) making up approximately 1/3 of the body, we all know that. What we have missed in strength is training the abdominals of the core like any other body part . Why do we strength train ever other body part with heavy weights and NOT the abs? Are the muscles made up of some different fiber type? Do sports not really use the abdominals of the body to promote power like other muscle groups? Maybe we have been doing them wrong all these years. The Ab Mat changed all that. These are the question that hopefully will stay with you and give you some “food for thought” with this article and videos.
Damn, I have been looking where to buy this ab bench for a long time. Finally one of the readers sent me a link. I had alot to due to the design and use way back in the Ironman days. SO, I find the link to buy it and go to the You tube videos on how to use it. Guess what ? All the videos are wrong. The users do not know how to use it. Check out the wrong way here. Then I give you the right way. They don’t get the full stretch, thus not working the abs through a full range of motion. This bench is well worth the money.
Right Way:
Just incase you don’t have an ab bench or can’t find one, try this .
Check Out the rest of the ways to use it on my Yout Tube page. It is so amazing to me that people just don’t understand in 2017 how the abs acually work.
Any questions..fred@fredkoch.com or see Fred Koch Training on Facebook.
I recieved a question from a reader the other day about where to find the rounded back ab bench I pushed so hard man years ago and still use here. You know, it just goes to show how far behind the fitness industry still is when it comes to new thinking. Check out this video and then you tell me what’s the deal? And no I don’t know where to find one ,so please tell us if you do.
In our gym here in Norway, the Bear Cave I had to have the machine cusotm designed. It is so well worth it no matter what it takes.
