Hey guys,
Henry here today with Six Pack Shortcuts and I’m going to show you 5 moves to get great obliques and an awesome midsection.
Not only will taking extra care of your obliques make you have a better looking V-Taper, it will make your six pack look more impressive altogether.
Of course you need to make sure that you’re also doing the rest of your workouts and keeping a clean diet so that you can drop your body fat low enough to actually see the abs too.
Here are the 5 moves that I like to do to keep my obliques in top shape… 10 reps per exercise. I will only go through 1 round, but of course, to step it up, do at least 3 rounds, and 5 if you really wanna go hard.
Workout Breakdown:
Cable Woodchops: Grab the cable handle with both hands, and bend down slightly so that your arms are mostly straight (you can have a slight bend in the elbow). You’ll basically do a reverse woodchop – turning to the side, contracting your obliques, while you stand up straight. Bend back down slightly as you let your arms back to the starting position, and then repeat the movement on the other side.
High Knee Oblique Crunches: Using ab slings hung from a pull up bar, position yourself in them. Or you can just do a regular hang. Whichever matches your experience level, just go with that! With your knees slightly bent, turn your torso to the side slightly and contract your obliques to raise your knees/legs. Return to the start and do the same thing on the other side.
Cable Oblique Crunches: Like a standard cable crunch, we’ll twist at the bottom to hit the obliques section. So get on your knees in front of the cables, and as you’re holding the weight before starting the movement, make sure you’re getting a good stretch in the abs. Contract them forcefully and pull the cables down using your abs, and at the end of the movement, contract your obliques to get a twist at the bottom.
Medicine Ball Twist: Start out holding the med ball with both hands, in an athletic position (knees slightly bent, feet pretty wide apart). Then contract the opposite sides obliques and swing the med ball out while straightening your legs, then return to the starting position.
Side Plank Raises: Get into a side plank position – either on your elbow or hand. You can stack your feet on top of each other, or have them both on the ground for more stability. Raise yourself up into a straight, locked plank position, and then dip your hips down toward the floor. Contract your obliques to bring your hips back up to the starting position.
