Muscle Control - "The Rope"

Otto Arco Performs "The Rope"
The art of muscle control is about training voluntary control of involuntary muscles. Here, the great muscle control master Otto Arco demonstrates one of the most difficult and impressive muscle control feats -- "The Rope."

You'll notice the abdominal muscles are tensed while holding an abdominal vacuum, a very striking effect.

This feat is much more difficult (and much more impressive) with the arms overhead like this, indicating that Otto Arco was truly in a class by himself.
