In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy discusses the anatomy of the muscle that forms the 6-pack as well as other important abdominal muscles such as the obliques and transversus abdominis. He discuss the functions of these muscles, from the movements they produce and how they help with posture and stabilizing the spine. He also discusses different exercise protocols for muscular endurance vs hypertrophy, as well as what influences the visibility of these muscles.

Somehow these anatomy in depth videos motivate me to work out more than a fitness/gym instructor ever could. Maybe it's because I'm fascinated to really see the marvelous structures and the interaction between muscles, which makes me want to "maintain" them, if that makes sense.
I feel the same way. I want to eat better and keep in shape more because I know how the human body works! It’s amazing! This is probably weird, but I also think the gut biome is incredible, and I think it’s funny to imagine feeding the bacteria like little helpful pets lol!
True
I’ve got a six-pack-I’ve just lost the plastic thing that holds them in place.
What?
😂😂😂😂
😂
@@thepeacefulend7716he talking abt beer
😂😂😂
For the first time in history, fitness instructors all over the world will start to wonder, 'how come my students/trainees are able to teach me details on sixpack science'!!!
I love how both of u teach us in depth details in the easiest ways to understand, without losing a smile on ur faces.
I love all the videos I've watched upto now.
From across the world.
Thank You, both.
The oblique muscles were so well explained! That all made more sense than when other people tried explaining how they operate in different movements. Thanks for the video, Jonathan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love that these videos are so anatomically thorough.
Glad you liked it!
Jonathan se inspiro para el vídeo me gusto mucho como explico todo 🎉
11:00 Obliques
13:00 Training protocols
14:00 Train abs 2-3x a week, 8-15 rep sets
I say this as a body builder; this is an excellent resource you have put together.
A series for each muscle group would be fantastic.
I love the science behind the human body. Best in-depth video on the abdominals I’ve ever seen
@carmel2029
💯
Off topic but you are so pretty 😊
Most underrated yet impressive muscles. People hate working their abs. But when youve got that blocky set and chiseled core, you know it takes work!
From the point of view of protecting the abdominal viscera, I like to think of the transversus abdominis, internal obliques, and external obliques as forming plywood 🙂
You guys are number one. One thing is seeing pictures on a book, another thing is seeing the strucures we work out everyday as they are really made. Thank you!
This channel is hidden gem of RUclips! Thank you and keep up bringing us high quality content :)
7m subs, not very hidden if you ask me but yeah
It almost got 7mil subs , i wouldn't say it's hidden based on that.
It was rather meant in comparison how many other Channels are here and also, you still need to kinda "find" it.. but I got what you guys mean
I used to be a gym's instructor and one day one of the members asked me: Do I have a six pack? - I looked at him and said: Deep inside, you have it! 😊
a comment in case i forget to leave one so youtube algorithm maybe realises how awesome this channel is regardless 💖
🫶
This is the first time I actually visualize the actions of the obliques! The rubber bands helped so much! I memorized the actions in school but could never visualize it.
Hi, I’m in the process of watching the IofHA’s video on how caffeine affects the body, but thought I would jump on a newer video immediately the hopes my special request might be seen.
Can you please do a video on how Kratom affects the body and brain?
Thank you, and thank you for your marvelous education. I really appreciate the practicality of them, and how you make your anatomy presentations understandable to lay persons like myself, but also sophisticated enough to where I’m able to use your content as a reliable primary source. They’re very useful when I use the information you present as a guide to get lost on the web when doing further research and exploration on the facts, concepts, and processes you describe.
Nice work!
I love learning about our wondrous body. I am totally fascinated by it in a whole. Y’all make it so much easier than what I learned sitting in classrooms. Which I can’t remember very much of. The thickness of fat determines how well stomach muscles can be seen. 3 layers of stomach muscles. Different workouts strengthen certain muscles. I really enjoy learning & watching you gentleman. Thank you
Would be gr8 to get similar video on hip flexors.
Thank you sir.
AS A MBBS STUDENT I ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO.
EVERY CONCEPTS IS SO MIRACLES
Can you do video on Tinnitus (ringing in the ears). I don't think the channel has ever done one on the subject. I suffer from it, and also millions of people in the world, thanks.
I wish we had had anatomy lessons like this back when I was training to become a nurse.
Your videos are THE best! I always learn so much. Thank you!!
so glad to see yall got your channel back!
Me too!
My sport teacher always told me that if i have a 6 pack ill never die ... well i will show him this video
?
Love it. I am a personal trainer, and this video is better than the textbook and drawings I learned this info from. 😂
Loved my 6 pack. Always keep them nice and cold
Amazing!
Thanks for all the lessons!
Dr. Jonathan is very knowledgeable, eloquent, physically fit and has all his hair. I would listen to him over other doctors.
😂😂😂😂
Justin left the chat 😅
He knows how to read.
😂😂@@realdevbro447
Mate roasting Justin was so unnecessary. Guy is good at doing what he does.
your enthusiam is so communicativ. Amazing video
I'm so happy I found this channel, best educational channel anywhere!
Loved this! It's informational and a common curiosity.
I was confusef about abs... but now I see everything a lot more clear, thanks!
*Perfect Ab break down! Unveil your 6 pack!!*
I loveeeeeeee your channel. I teach yoga and you guys are my source of information. I shared this video to a FB yoga group I belong and to one studio I work for. Thank you sooooo much 🇨🇦🇵🇦💜🪷🙏🏽
Love this video. I found it educational and incredibly helpful as I did not know the difference in how the muscles are being worked or really that there is a difference. I'm saving this to my exercise file and putting this new knowledge into action this weekend. Thanks
I have one pack 😂 after having my girls, and now I am a grandmother. My one pack is a little larger 😂 thanks for this insight.
You are so welcome!
The way you broke it down muscle by muscle allows me to visualize as I exercise 😅
👏👏👏👏👏
People care so much about the six pack while it being one of the less useful muscles you can train, compared to say back and obliques. People also love doing extremely inefficient exercises like planks and other isometric exercises while claiming to be training for some progressive goal like strength or look.
Like how often do you need to forcefully curl your abdomen? Well why wouldn't you do it against resistance then and forgo 10 minutes of low load sweating? Bracing and squatting/deadlifting is also a really cool way to challenge some of those muscles to protect the spine under heavy load.
But to be fair nothing has done the same effect to my core so far than judo/grappling. Powerlifting/weightlifting was the next best thing. But in grappling you resist or move another person's body in space for decent bouts at a time powerfully. That's quite intense. And honestly you won't even realize until you're sore afterwards.
Great video! Really like seeing the direction of all the different muscles.
As far as real world examples go, heavy lifting, especially overhead, engages these muscles as a way to stabilize and balance your body. Same with pulling downward on something. I suppose it depends what line of work you're in, but it can be fairly common to engage them.
Isometric exercises do indeed train muscles to withstand higher thresholds of intensity and protect them from injury. You can even experience hypertrophy through isometrics if that's your goal.
Agreed. A six pack is really for looks mostly and strengthening the back and neck are better uses of time and help contribute to better long term health of movement. It doesn’t mean neglecting the core, but the core typically gets some work when doing most other exercises.
Hi, i never got a chance to learn anatomy like this before. Your videos are awesome n I remember most of it just from watching these videos.
I have a request, can you please make more videos on head and neck anatomy. Thank you for your wonderful efforts to educate people
Really super to go through the Underlying Anatomy and Science behind Six Pack
Love the science behind it! I with definitely apply these to my body building.
Great to hear!
WoW I loove these videos I'm 62 frm SA and learn soo much Thank you😂 also for your friendly way of presenting without seeming to be know it all explaining to dummies 😅😅 Keep up the good work - pleeease!😊
Very informative and very well explained thank you for teaching us all of these interesting topics
Would be neat to see you innervate some of these muscles say with small voltage.
@4:03 'not in that particular order' 😂😂 another AMAZING video from my favorite channel! Your work is highly appreciated ❤
I love and appreciate this channel so much. Thank you 🙏🙏
Thank you too!
Thanks for such an instructive video. I very much appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
hey man, would you ever consider doing a video on smelling salts? that would be a good watch. Especially in regard to strength training
This is such a great video! You explaining everything with such great enthusiasm is what makes this channel so special. Knowing the anatomy gives me a totally new perspective on everything and I think I'll never forget the words of wisdom - "ex to sex, in to chin"
Another top of the line quality and infomative fun awesome video, easily in my top five channels for real for real
Frfr
Exceptional explanation of the four core muscles. At 3:24 you talk how the rectus abdominis muscles protect the internal organs. That is one way I justified taking medicine ball throw downs and hard punches to toughen those muscles.
💯 Glad I found this channel. This motivates me to workout than any other thing ❤ Thanks guys !
Great teaching,have learnt this in an abstract format as a student. Fascinating how the cadaver got it simplified. And all physical abilities . But you didn't talk about the roles these muscles play and determinant of how surgical incision are made...@Institute of Human Anatomy ❤❤
Really interesting and educational.
Pretty much confirms I'm doing my abs workout correctly. I do:
- Leg raises & Weighted Sit-ups/Crunches for more intensive strength training, covering both upper + lower abdomen, followed by..
- Plank + side planks & unweighted sit-ups/crunches, for more endurance focused training.
Another brilliant video. So easy to understand.
Great to hear!
Amazing and very knowledgeable video about Six pack abs by Jonathan Sir... Huge fan from India 🇮🇳🚩🙏
Fitness trainers always talk about obliques(external), for the first time I got to know that there are 3 types of obliques.
Thanks ❤
Heys, can i request a video on Rib Flare: what it is, how to define/distinguish whether one really has it, any ways to fix it naturally (eg through exercises etc)
It's amazing how much one can learn when you're not being forced
I like the hands in the pockets analogy.
I assist in surgery a lot, pretty much anything there is and we often see the left and right laryngeal nerves during thyroid surgeries, bagging either of those can seriously harm the ability to speak. The vagus nerve is a neighbor we don't want to irritate either, anesthesia gets alittle P Oed with heart rate getting erratic. The sciatic nerve is often tickled when we do total hip arthroplasty, and use the electric cautery, makes that gluteal muscle twerk like crazy lol Even Shakira can't make it move like that lol.
Thank you that helped me so much!
I love this channel and all the learning I get, even if I don't remember it. But can I just say, this is the hottest educational video I've ever seen🤣😂
THANK YOU BROTHER
Thank you Dr. Jonathan
Thank you sir. these vids are the sorely needed educational backbone to all sorts of workout regimes
As always so interesting ❤
Thanks again!
I'd like to know about the difference between doing an exercise with the abdominals pushing out when working rather than sucking in. When I do a sit up or any other exercise, my abs naturally want to push out when contracting. But all the trainers and teachers I've worked with say that you should contract the muscles inward, making the waist as small as possible when lifting or doing ab work. They say if the muscles go out when contracting you'll build a wider waist. (And as a female that's not exactly what I am going for.)
Excellent video
This is excellent!!!
❤❤❤
Pure gold 💚.
These videos always remind me we've got an incredible designer up there!
Great video! Why are some six-packs so bilaterally symmetrical, and some are bilaterally asymmetrical (like the cadaver's in this video)?
I was recently wondering whether there is a difference between male and female abs muscles because in my lifedrawing classes I noticed that women's bellybuttons have a vertical line and men's bellybuttons rather seem to have a horizontal line. So I was wondering if maybe women's muscles are built a bit different to accommodate childbirth.
"...own personal flexathon that you might do privately while you're looking in the mirror" haha fair enough. Totally guilty of this even tho I don't got much to flex. But hopefully I do after applying those wonderful exercise tips!
Perfect timing.
👍🏻
Thanks man amazing 😍
Love this!
Six pack = low body fat + hypertrophy of abdominal muscles. You need both, not one of the two. You need to train your abs hard in every training session and cut at the same time. Proper nutrition + smart training + supplements (if you've got the extra money) will get you there. Fix your diet first: cut out all junk / processed foods and start eating whole, nutrient-dense foods that support metabolic / gut health. Use progressive overload and focus on multi-joint exercises. Sit-ups, leg raises, and crunches are some of the best exercises for building the abs. If you are a lifter seriously interested in aesthetics / performance / strength, go study Old-School bodybuilding. Old-School bodybuilders were ingenious physique architects. They had a profound knowledge of the principles of proper nutrition, smart supplementation, exercise science, and muscle adaptability. Combining Old-School bodybuilding wisdom with modern, evidence-based science is the best, safest, most effective way to achieve a strong, sexy, healthy, and aesthetic physique. Vintage Physique by George Kelly is a nice read on the topic.
I wanna lock myself in a room for a year with no food and only water so i can finally not be an obese piece of shit
All true what you said. But for women, they just have a higher fat percentage and for hormonal balance, pregnancy, conceiving… a six pack is exactly not that healthy.
Healthy eating and training is always important but focusing on a flat stomach with abs shouldn’t always be a priority
This!
More diet than anything by a long shot. When I was younger, I was very surprised to learn that those models don't look like that when they're not preparing for a shoot. Not because they don't keep their muscles up, but because your diet has to be incredibly strict to strip that layer of fat off the mid section, and no one wants to live like that full time.
I'll never get healthy it's fucking worthless I'm a stupid piece of shit
Great content !!
As big as my beer belly has gotten these last couple years, I can still feel the "abs" underneath it.
Great vid
IOHA gotta be the goat 🐐
What determines the orientation of tendinous intersections? Mine does not look (it used to be visible) like a six pack, but more like random slash marks
Great Video! Can you do a video explaining Diastasis Recti? I was just diagnosed with it last year. I’ve had two babies and currently 10 weeks pregnant with my third. How does pregnancy cause this separation and can it be fixed?
Damnn this guys is soooo smart, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thanks for watching!
What muscles would be fired if one is to attempt a “vacuum pose” (bodybuilding pose)? Thanks for the great video!
Cool question!! The anatomy of the vacuum pose would be very interesting to know
I imagine it would mostly be the diaphragm muscles, with the rectus abdominus and transverse abdominus involved as well
You were specially funny in this one. Thanks 😂😂😂
Thanks
great video
Lmao. Timely video. I asked my kinesiologist why my abs weren't symmetrical. And then said that if it's not symmetrical, i dont want em anymore lol
Appreciate ❤️
PUT GLOVES ON! 😂😂
😂
thank you💖you are the best🙈⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hello there! Thank you for your valuable knowledge, Do you have any video about ostheoporosis? It's true that you can not exercise if you have it?
Cool one
Thank you!
That’s amazing 🤩 👍
Thank you!
Your welcome!
hi,can you make a video for why mediastanum is getting wide.thank you so much.
thanks love your videos can you do a video on how to loose loose skin after lots of weight lossi am in my 40's and want to get rid of this have my skin tight!!!!
Would love to see a video on skeleton variances. Most skeletons look like a rectangle. You see some physique competitors with X frame. The shoulder clavicles are very wide and the hips/waist are small. How do these skeletons look?
