This shot of three-time Mr. Olympia Frank Zane shows him hitting a classic stomach-vacuum pose. Amazing…

Frank Zane's vacuum pose

The vacuum takes practice—as well as leanness and developing certain gut muscles, like the abdomen-surrounding girdle muscle, the transverse abdominis (note: planks can help).

Jonathan Lawson's back, before and after
