Suggested merge, stomach vacuum into vacuum exercise[edit]

I've suggested this merge as these are essentially the same exercise. The reason I've suggested that it be merged into this article is that 'stomach vacuum' can also refer to a surgical process, and is not specific that it is an exercise. Other possibilities are 'stomach vacuum exercise' or 'stomach vacuum (exercise)', though they seem a bit large. I feel that 'stomach' is a bit redundant, since vacuums are only done with the stomach area anyway, and 'stomach' is actually not the most technical description, since we're describing the abdomen and transversus abdominis. Still, 'stomach vacuum' has some information this one doesn't, and adding the information about Arnold Schwartzennegar would be beneficial. I also suggest we remove the 'weight training' aspect since no weights are actually being used, this is more of a strength or endurance exercise, although if it is used in any weight lifting exercises, that could be mentioned.
