Direct Oblique training. Meme or necessary for good physique?
>>77179116Necessary for a bad physiqueDon't do it
>>77179116Important for sports not so much body building
>>77179116Stabilizing muscle
>>77179116I really like this image
>>77179116Do it in conjunction with other exercises that generally stimulate the core. On its own it will achieve very little, but if the obliques have already been seriously stimulated, you can specifically target them afterward to get the most out of them.
>>77179116I used to do 'bliques and they never really grew, now on my new diet I don't target them or core at all and they are huge and kill my v-taper. No idea what happened
>>77179116No. Skip obliques to keep your waist as small as possible. Focus mostly on arms, shoulders, and lats for an aesthetic outline.

>>77179491This little nigga is so grotesque looking.
ladies love adonis belt
>>77179491He clearly trained obliques. That's why he looks like shit.
>>77179524Adonis Belt is purely genetic. Nothing to do with training.
>>77179116i get more back pain when i neglect them you should hit every muscle in the body for optimal health
How do you train those and abs without wrecking your dics due to all the turning and flexing under load
If I don't train my obliques I get a feminine hourglass figure
>>77179121But brad pitt's obliques look real good
I've got an hourglass figure like pic related, even when getting leaner, my hips are just wide.Would training obliques accentuate it or help reduce it?
>>77179696I agree>>77179748Unitalerally. Grab a heavy dumbell or kettlebell, do a rocking motion to the loaded side up and down. Do it first with a low weight until you feel the burn on the obliques on the opposite side of the weight. Use a heavy weight for the main workout. Aim for a higher rep range (up to 20) until failure.Another option is to use pic related (roma chair) and do side extensions. You dont need to do them loaded. My tip is to start with bodyweight for the same amount of reps as stared with the previous movement.Core muscles main function is to stabilize other compound lifts, so I would argue it is a good idea to train all of them. Due to the function of the core, most fibers are type I, meaning they are not prone to a large size increase, so it is hard to mess up your proportions by training them.
>>77181721the answer is noget your delts/lats/chest even bigger to the natural inverted triangle look more like one instead of being stuck in hourglass-mode
>>77181753Thanks for the info, anon. I hadn't thought of unilateral movements
