do vacuums serve a purpose?

[p0ink]

do vacuums serve a purpose for abdominal strength, or are they simply for aesthetic appeal?

Strength-wise I don't think they would have much of an effect, unless for some reason you suck it in on your lifts.

They work the internal abdominal muscles.

how many times a week should you do them for aesthetic purposes, and when u do them how long to hold in for and how many times? also, do they really make a significant difference or noticable?
