Hey Guys!......Obilque work

[warchild2005]

Okay so when I'm doing crunches It's easy to work my upper and lower abs but my sides are so hard to work out, I am starting to see that the "cut" is starting to come through but it's still not as "hard" as my upper and lower abs. I do different versions of side crunches, are sides just harder to work? What your guy's advice?

Hi, Luis!

For well-trained and defined obliques, you want to get in a lot of the following:

Crossover crunches (where you're bringing the shoulder toward the opposite hip) (legs in varying positions, including feet on floor / knees bent, legs flat on floor, feet on an elevation, one leg elevated)

Side-lying crunches with legs elevated

Bicycles

Med ball seated torso twists

Reverse crunches with a twist at the top (check out Core Max routine #1)

Stability ball knee rolldowns with a twist at the bottom (again, check out Core Max routine #? {the one with the stability ball})

Hip dips with or without added weight on the torso

I don't know, from what you've posted, which Cathe ab / core routines you have and are doing regularly. Why don't you post more specifically what you're doing here, and we can offer more suggestions?

Hit all the core work in the Intensity series. It works wonders for the obliques. Your waist might even thicken a littlew. I remember discuaaing this with others at the time of their release. Some of us reported this. So, the I series is effective for obliques.
