STOP Doing Russian Twists Like This! (SAVE A FRIEND)
When performing Russian Twists for six pack abs, there's one mistake that you have to avoid at all costs if you want to see the results you're looking for when it comes to your abs.
The Russian Twist is a great exercise for targeting the obliques due to the fact that the exercise inherently requires rotation of the core to perform the exercise in the first place. As we know, rotation is key for development of the obliques.
The mistake people make with the Russian Twist that I see all too often is that they are not allowing their torso to rotate as much as needed to influence the obliques to their maximal engagement. Instead of rotating their body, they simply tap their hands to the ground on each side, often times too quickly as well. Add in the fact that if you are simply tapping to each side, you are now turning the Russian Twist into an isometric exercise with very little benefit to your six pack.
I like to call this version of the exercise the Russian Tap, instead of the Russian Twist.
There is an easy fix to this common mistake when you're looking to develop your abs. Instead of tapping your hands on the ground to each side without much rotation, actively rotate your body in space. You can visualize this by trying to actively row your elbow back behind your body to each side. When you try to row your elbows back and behind you, you will ensure that you are getting proper rotation to target the obliques and develop the six pack you've been seeking.
So, when it comes to building six pack abs, you'll want to avoid the mistake of turning the Russian Twist into the Russian Tap. Thankfully the mistake is easy to correct and making the simple change will benefit your abs as well - not just in appearance, but strength and performance as well.
