oblique builder rotating side to side while sitting leaned back
leaning back keeps the abs loaded holding you up, so the obliques rotate
against a trunk that is already working
your bodyweight sets most of the load, so anything you hold adds to it rather
than being it
Execution
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your heels down or lifted, leaning
your torso back until you feel your abs engage. Hold a plate or a dumbbell at
your chest.
rotate your torso to one side, taking the weight with you
keep your chest up and your torso leaned back throughout
rotate through to the other side under control
drive the movement from your trunk rather than swinging your arms
keep your hips still rather than rocking them
Slow it down. Rotating fast makes the weight do the work and your obliques
watch.
