Yes, absolutely. I started deadlifting four months ago. I’ve gone slowly to first develop technique. Recently I’ve started ratcheting up the weight, and I can feel that my core will start to being an issue. So I’ve slowed down the weight increase and gotten more intense with core training, including obliques.

Alex the more i research and read about training, the more i see that it doesn't really matter.. I mean i'm getting the greatest results just from doing what i feel like, or doing more "dynamic" movements if you will, like handstands, sprinting,farmer walks, rack pulls, learning hard calisthenics movements like the cat plank and jumps etc. I mean this is fun shit, it's not complex at all and yet it feels so good and the results are great

I like to do one arm seated cable rows while making sure my body doesn't twist towards the working arm to compensate.

The bent press is a compound power lift basically centered around the obliques

Alex is naturally enchanced good for making linear progress on some of the major compounds weather be squat deads benches overheads and hell lot of other compounds. Because im considering weather or not to get it. Currently im doing greek god. Because its easy to understand and not to over complicated. But if naturally enchanced is good for making linear strength gainz on compounds then i would get it. And also if its not too over complicated.

Thanks for the daily uploads bro really appreciate it, I learn a chit ton from your channel!
But what do you think about training abs, lower back and obliques when trying to keep a small waist? How do you still get those muscle groups developed while still maintaning a small as possible waist measurement?

[markvargas]

wait one arm dumbbell farmer walks work the obliques

[silatguy]

Nice video. I do really heavy side bends and russian twists and it has helped me throw out my back less

I think you recomp fairly easily because you only do 2 intensive workouts per week(I suppose it's not genetics, I think anyone could do this if they followed same training style and have same work capacity) as opposed to same level lifters who train 4-6 times per week, and by that I mean you do not need to be in a surplus all the time to keep making progress as the programming in itself takes care of your recovery, whereas the guys who train more times per week have to be in a caloric surplus all the time since there are more training days to recover from. Just thought of it

[markvargas]

My forearms give out when I’m doing dumbbell rows all the time. I feel like my grip strength is lacking so much

[zukodude]

Sure, just let me add in one more exercise, i only have like 30 different exercises that are "essential". How are we supposed to do all these crucial exercises?

I love your content man! Most of what you post either enlightens or motivates me. Just a question for ya: I find that the weights and special movements that we perform actually encourages me to work harder at them. Mostly because I feel as though others are put off by it all. Do yoy find this to be true in your gym experience?

[adaptone]

If theres an underrated "core" muscle group, it would the the transverse abdominis.

[leandergalahad]

Will training the obliques directly once a week be sufficient frequency as long as I do enough sets? I ask because this is how it would fit into my routine... Thanks.

[markvargas]

obliques develop you're abs they sculpted them. that's what makes you're abs pop and for better posture

[nicootv]

what are those pulls you did recommend doing for obliques? and what ab exercises do you recommend doing what u want ur abs showing around 14-16% bf

[clayhadden]

Hey Alex, you probably notice in most gyms how the plate sizes are different based on the weight. With that being said, how do hold lets say a plate(45) and a 10 plate or something for example on your forehead during a neck curl?

[shawngadwa]

First off, awesome video... thanks so much! I hadn't even thought about jefferson rack pulls, I'm gonna add them to my routine. I did have a question though. I do a PPLPPLR routine with a heavy day and a light day. I recently started adding rack pulls do my heavy pull day for sets of 3-5. Should I also do rack pulls (or rack pull variations) on my light pull day for sets of 8-12 or more?

[mariokrizman]

Lunges with heavy dumbell on just 1 side great for obliques
