    I used to be able to do that in 7th grade before I started lifting. Would be really impressive to see someone pull that off with a solid abdominal wall.

    Although I don't have that kind of Muscle control , I can hit a vacuum .. I'm only in the 220's today but hit it at much bigger weights as well . Grimmick , Arnold , Zane , mentzer , Ray , Haney ect all included vacuums in some of their poses and I wish it came back .

    Those guys are about a buck 40 .. Vacuums are easy till you get about 220 ...then it's a different ball game

    Gary Leonard used to do that pose back in the '80's.

    Here's a more bodybuilder specific vid.

    But this guy's probably not much more than a buck 40, what, buck 60?

    The video is not showing up for me . A simple vacuum is muscle control ..specifically the transverse abs . For abdominal control beyond a vacuum on someone over 215 or so I think Cormier maybe did that best .

    Ok , its up now .. that's what Dave is looking for . I think there should be guys on here that can do that , but if they are even light heavyweight or above it is much more difficult and impressive , to me . I know first hand how the vacuum difficulty changes as one moves up in weight .
