Obliques

[MattHolyman41]

Do you guys know some good exercise for obliques? I do crunches with weights and my abs respond pretty well after a few months but I have no visible obliques.

Try turning your torso to alternating sides while you do your crunches.

Side planks are my favorite. They are like normal planks but on your side, resting on your elbow or better hand if your shoulder is strong enough.

You can do a variation on that by doing reps going up into and down out of the side plank position.

Side crunches (like a normal crunch but with legs sideways) are also excellent.

Trunk rotations are also good. You lie on your back with arms out to stabilize at your shoulders, put your legs up in the air with knees bent to about 90 degrees and then rotate from the ground on one side to the ground on the other, keeping your hips as flat as you can.

Google for a video if you don't quite get what I'm saying on any of these.

a variation of leg raises is pretty good too. start lying down on the ground with your legs straight in the air 90 degrees from the ground. then move your legs from side to side without touching the ground and keeping your chest as flat as possible the whole time.
