well idk what anyone else is talking about cuz i dont really know that much about obliques but this shit works! i saw this video a few months ago and have been doing this every morning i wake up and it has had a great effect. oh yah and walls of jericho is a great band to listen to while working out haha
thanks for the info and your effort. I appreciate anything that i can use to get better -- as far as lova56 -- grow up a..h..e -- what a jerk you must be to make comments like this -- i can just imagine how pathetic your life is -- lonely and pathetic -- thanks billy -- have a great summer
you are actually just throwing your legs side to side. No disicplie or oder what so ever. You should be stable not swimming. That roll of fat will not go with those twists. Why are your hips doing more than the body area you are supposed to work. You need a good teacher or such becasue you are trying so hard to do it right all on your own but its just rough and looks like you just learned from looking.
well judging that you can't spell correctly, nor do you have any idea what your talking about cause i'm obviously moving too slow to be "throwing" my legs from side to side, i'd probably just get sick watching you work out
@billy2918 , hang from the pull up bar and do those leg twists. more effective on the obliques and other core related muscles too, and i think its almost impossible to cheat. i been doing those along with alot of advanced planks (one leg) and some rollouts.
He's right.....doing direct ab exercises are overrated, and not really all the useful.....i just do heavy lifts with squats, ,deadlift, overhead presses, along with some variations of planks and hanging leg raises and that's pretty much all the "ab exercises" I need
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
bad form on the russian twists. your legs are not supposed to sway at all. that means you are using too much weight for your abs. and you should be holding onto something stable for the trunk twists so your body doesn't shift while you do the exercise. if you watch your video, you're all over the place. Stick to the tattoo addiction.
for the twist, your lower body naturally moves like that. He has the right form on both exercises and I don't see how he's all over the place. I think they are good exercises and I'll try them out.
strong core yes, but most people beat there abs to death, your core is more than just your abs, its your center of gravity, its your abs, your lower back, your hips, basically all the muscles contained in those areas, they do need emphasis yes, but if you read what i wrote "your abs really don't need that much emphasis" i didn't say they didn't, most people overtrain there abs, which leads to tons of postural and movement problems, and muscle imbalances
Unlike your abs, you have 2 sets of obliques. One allows you to twists your upper body left and right, and the other allows you to bend to the side (you only have 1 abdominal rectus - NOT an "upper" and "lower" abs).
Find out the function of a muscle, line up the origins and insertions, and move against resistance to failure below 15 reps at your maximum range of motion. Thats the underlying fundamental principle of all exercise.
why i didn't catch this earlier i don't know, but...
you have one abdominus rectus, but its segmentally inervated by 8 nerves, which control each segment, which means it can do multiple things at once like stabilize at one end, while flexing the spine at another for example, so in that case, you can work your "lower abs" even though it is the same muscle group, i shot this video last year, and no longer use this routine, some of what you said was true, but now let me clarify on your obliques
you have 2 sets of obliques but they work together in rotational movements, your left external oblique, and right internal work together when rotating your body to the right, when your pelvis is anchored, and do the opposite when the trunk is anchored, the same side internal and external work together in side flexion, however the prime mover in side flexion is not your obliques, it is your quadratus lomborum, which is actually a lower back muscle
The obliques are not contracting against enough resistance. Simply moving the ball side to side wont cut it, especially when your arms are doing the majority range. Putting your feet in the air doesn't help either, as the muscles that COULD be used as prime movers are now stabilizers, which is far less effective.
The second move is done correctly, but you could improve on it. Try placing yourself under a bench press that has plates on it to weigh it down so it wont move. Now grab somewhere on the bottom of the bench. This will completely stabilize your upper body and allow you to press harder through the movement, which engages more fibers. Straighten your legs out for more intensity.
V.O.D , nice.
