Vacuums are designed to strengthen the internal mucle wall (ie transversus abdominus if im not mistaken). Its basically a muscular wall behind the abs we see and its job is to basically support your guts. It also works the intercostals as well. The goal is to completely exhale and then draw in the abdominal wall, tuck the hips and bend slightly forward and contract the abs. then straighten up expanding your rib cage without exhaling and it further draws the abs in, hold for a few seconds and relax.

Never heard they were dangerous.

I posted a while ago about those stomach vacuum that I used to perform three times a week. they do work as I lost in 3 months 3 inches on my waist and they are not at all dangerous.

There is an excerpt from Muscle Media:

The stomach vacuum (as perfected by Arnold and Frank Zane) is one of the best exercises you can perform to shrink your waistline in a very short period of time. I can generally knock several inches off my waistline just by performing vacuums for a three-week period. Although the vacuum takes some practice to master, it’s extremely effective in helping you gain great control over your abdominals and giving your waistline a paper-thin appearance.


Perform a vacuum by exhaling all the air in your lungs, sticking your chest out, and trying to touch your belly button to your backbone (don’t worry, you will never accomplish this). Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, relax, and repeat. The simplest way to perform vacuums when starting out is from a kneeling position on all fours. As you begin to master the vacuum in this position, you can also perform it in an upright kneeling, seated, or standing position. Like anything else, the more you practice the easier it becomes and the more control you will have over flexing your abdominals. Eventually, you will be able to do these anywhere, from driving in your car to standing in line at the grocery store.

happy sucking

He was probably trying to sell his own ab routine

Either that, or was reffering to any idiot who may forget to take another breath.
