? What is your question..when did we say not to train obliques? Remember the core is not part of the superficial muscles that make up the rectus abdominis, internal, external obliques, any muscles that move joints, or expand over a certian number of joints are noted as "outer or global muscles" The core is noted as muscles that stabilize intersegmentally block to block, and run along or very close to the spine. Sit up and crunches do not train 'the core"
The function of the rectus abdominis is spinal flexion and there are 3 parts. External, mid and internal ranges.....or beginning, middle and end. External Oblique= side bending, internal oblique=rotation/torsion. You can work them while moving, or isometrics, so you can work the "core"(which is the most over used word in the fitness industry and sickens me) in two different ways.

why should you not do obliques again? not for spot reducing but good for core
