On the other hand, if your goal is strength and performance, train the hell out of your midsection.

I have a herniated disc and have had back pain and sciatica for over 10 years. Since I began regular training with weighted oblique raises and deadlifts, I have reduced my back pain significantly. I almost never think about it anymore.

[NAVEENCHAURASIYAA]

As a man myself who train oblique with 50 pound dumbbell i can assure it really grows some big oblique which look like love handles

[jkker]

Charles is just full of KNOWLEDGE! No BS. Advice that ACTUALLY works!! What I would give to have a REAL trainer like him. Just for a day.

I say it really depends on your hips. People with wide hips look hideous with obliques (especially if they have narrow clavicles). If you have a small waist and narrow hips, absolutely train your obliques...it will give you a nice balanced midsection.

Some people have thicker obliques to start off (Jay Cutler) and of course someone with a blocky waist should not train the obliques. I think it's one of the best looking bodyparts if you have the right waist size to develop them.

I see so many people with that 45 weight doing twist. Lol

[basscannon]

Remember he’s talking purely aesthetics in this clip

[buckeye]

I love doing weighted obliques on the good morning bench but I'm not going for looks I just want to be able to take a kick or punch to the midsection

[guy]

For combat sports we prefer bulky obliques.

[Forgemno]

Hes right. I do twist with 2-400. (standing) Strong but they do stick out.

[bearsquad]

Mr.Glass is giving bodybuilding aesthetic advice. I’m sure he knows it’s good to work them for performance.

[underruu]

Size 32 waist with under developed obliques trying to gain a fuller v line. Everywhere I go everyone online seems to just say "dont train your obliques" meanwhile mine are pathetic🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[seanregehr]

I have been using a resistance band to target obliques and upper chest by twisting the core and then extending the back hand forward and up just above shoulder height for 3 sets of 10-12 reps and seen some good results in short order. This feels substantial enough for obliques. You can always change up the resistance band and/or stand closer or further away from where you attach the band to modify the intensity.

[CurtisGabrielMusic]

Depends on your body. For
Example, I have shitty oblique genetics. Im all hip bone on the sides, so I need to work them!

[hillanderson]

I flipped and carried logs for years. My core is strong but built like a box. Thicc.

[richiemac]

Charles do you have further information on what you recommend for ab exercises?

[GazaAli]

I don't do abs at all. I made my peace with the reality that abs won't show if I am to get as big as I can naturally. As time went, I learned that it has the benefit of accentuating that v-taper without much effort.

[lifeordeath]

that is why most of the fitness youtuber only shows hanging leg raises side to side or the Russian twist...

[jeanniemaycrawford]

I love thick obliques, it's great for stabilisation and really comes into play once you become an old man

[Heruthedistantone]

For me thick obliques compliment me so well so i will deffo be training heavy on them again
