Oblique muscles like brains: in theory, they are present in everyone, but not everyone is able to show the world their existence. To draw the oblique muscles, especially the necessary reduced calorie diet with low fat and aerobic exercise. Add to that a special training aimed exactly on oblique - and the effect is stunning. Look at photos professionals you see?
For those who have a wide waist should not be overloaded oblique muscles serious weights - unless, of course, you set goals to transform into a centuries-old oak tree 3 in girth. Everyone else should keep in mind: fibers oblique muscles are located diagonally, and for specific study of oblique curl up too on a diagonal. Tilts from side to side here is ineffective. Most professionals who slant the already well inflated, train them with more reps and virtually no weights.
In any case, the redevelopment of oblique muscles like inflammation of the brain. Do not be too zealous - everything is good in moderation. And how is she, this measure will tell you the top 4 professional.
Mike Matarazzo,the Second place at the Canada Cup among professionals 1997.
The main thing - do not overdo it with the amount of exercises and sets, otherwise you will not be a waist, and barrel. Oblique muscles to look spectacular, required a strict diet and lots of aerobic exercise is to clean the surface. As for specific exercises, I personally in precompetitive period doing oblique muscles lifts the body and the usual twisting. In my opinion, twisting the turns is not needed here. Oblique I always shake out. On the clock was not looking, but I think that the entire treatment is placed in 20 minutes. And yet, by and large, the best training for oblique muscle is aerobics!
Roland Kickinger, champion of Austria 1995
In the offseason I don’t do oblique muscles. Before the competition do the leg raises, but in General prefer isometric: from a prone position, tighten the shoulder to the opposite hip, statically straining press for 30 seconds for each side for 4 sets of 6 reps. Encumbrances do not take thick and oblique I don’t need. In General, oblique - medium-sized muscles, so they pumped pretty quickly. But that they were clearly visible, the first thing is to follow the diet.
Don long, champion of the U.S. Junior Amateur in the heavyweight division, 1995
My opinion is: if you want to have strong oblique muscles, it is necessary to train them! I shake them without weights - doing turns the body for 5 minutes every day. Or this option: lie on your back, arms spreading to the side, raise legs and pelvis to twist them down first on one side, then the other. Only 4 set of 25 reps for each side. Usually this exercise I finish this course.
Mike Francois, winner of the Arnold classic 1995
Oblique muscles I’ve always had that is necessary, - says Mike. - Meanwhile, in the offseason I work on them not only before the competition. One of percussion exercises - twisting strastno. Lie on the floor on your back, feet opirajut on the bench, hands holding on the chest. From this position I try to get the right shoulder to the left knee, and then Vice versa - and so 3 sets of 20-30 repetitions.
