Waist is what makes you blocky, not obliques

This is why Belal Muhammad trained his obliques for rotational power and twisted Leon Edwards head onto the floor

[jaysontatumfitness]

Hating obliques keeping you big as hell

[gglcts]

#1 thing bodybuilders don’t train: their brain

[hitalick]

obliques are just like any other muscle, they wont automatically get huge if u train them lmao its like when girls say "i dont lift weights because i dont want to get too big"

[Dejan]

I agree with Martin. But just to be sure, even though I train lateral spinal flexion, I use only my bodyweight.
I want to do more research on the effects of obliques training on hyperthrophy of the same

Edit: my obliques haven't got bigger/thicker/blocky/ecc. or if they did, they did so little I can't even notice

[mckeithandrei]

This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic V taper

[kangaked]

My physique started looking better when I added oblique exercises

[KaiValentino-rw]

Hip bones are genetics, If you barley have fat on your obliques and look blocky, Its because of your bone structure...Btw Wide hips are good for athletes

[hamzarahmani]

I'd say obliques make your V-taper better

[EvanAnderson]

You should Make a video on how to effectively train abs. It would be very helpful.

Saw this on Instagram yesterday and was like the rios brothers would love this one

[number.]

This is the male equivalent of when females say i dont want to go to the gym or lift too heavy because ill get too big😂😂

[TheBaconBean]

Waist size is almost purely genetics considering you’re not fat

[Collfuse]

I got abs ever since i started training rotation. Obliques still the same

[dbbdbdbdbd]

For real foghts aka bare knuckle you dont need crazy rotational power. Id argue a lead hook just with the power from the arm is enough to ko someone if it lands clean on the chin especially if you a strong dude

[danielrierson]

If you naturally have an hourglass shape. Wider obliques might help eliminate that. Does working your abs make your abs stick out more?

[heysoumya]

That's why Stephen Hawking has the best obliques

[pustindoirier]

I could sense the Dustin Poirier waist comment coming a mile away

[Nightwolf-nmpb]

Trust Me bro, your obliques def aint gonna grow that much, unless you abuse roids.
