Medicine Ball Standing Twists
Medicine Ball Standing Twists use the momentum of the ball through a full range of motion to bring out visible oblique definition. Stand with feet hip-width apart holding a medicine ball at chest height. Rotate your torso side to side, letting the ball travel with your shoulders, while keeping your hips facing forward so the movement comes from your core rather than your legs.
Bicycles (abs)
Bicycles on a hanging bar work endurance and hypertrophy for the abs through a longer range of motion than the floor version, recruiting the obliques as a synergist throughout. Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended and core braced. Drive one knee up and across toward the opposite side while extending the other leg, then alternate in a smooth pedaling motion, keeping your torso as still as possible.
Side Crunches (abs)
Side Crunches isolate the obliques, which helps with the rotational power used in sports like football as well as a tighter side-cut look. Lie on your back or side with knees bent and let them fall to one side. Curl your ribcage toward your hip on that side, focusing the movement in your obliques rather than your hip flexors, then switch sides after completing your reps.
