Re: Introducing Davybuoy

Welcome! 

So glad you've made your way over here to Integral Strength. Before I respond give me a little bit more about the aim, the end result or the goal that you have with training your obliques. 

Give me the quick and dirty on what you're doing in terms of exercises and what you're intending to accomplish. I'll then be able to give you some better guidance.

Looking forward, 
~Rob 

Re: Introducing Davybuoy

Rob,

I am following the Monday to Friday sessions outlined in the SFL book, except I am not doing drop sets as I am working on learning the exercise and FIT cycle technique. I am looking for an all round increase in strength and muscle mass and a corresponding drop in body fat, which I have particularly accumulated around my waistline. Training my obliques is simply part of the all round plan and an area I seem particularly weak as I can't perform the exercise with good form.

Re: Introducing Davybuoy

hey davybouy, must admit the cross crunches from sfl didn't click with me either.
i actually skipped them for a while until i was stronger.
as i understand it no ab exercise really isolates any area so any one does the whole abs to an extent.
having said that when i did the oblique stuff they progressed really quickly!
id love to hear how you're going with it.
