'Having defined obliques & serratus all comes down to diet, cardio, and proper exercise. Diet and cardio will help you obtain the lower bodyfat % you need to SEE your obliques & serratus, but unless you work the area and build some muscle you are never going to have those deep cuts.

The number one reason will always be diet and bodyfat percentage. If you have a thick layer of bodyfat around your core, you are never going to achieve that shredded six-pack look. If you need help putting together a meal plan that will get on track and shred unwanted belly fat, check out the SHF meal planner. However, for those of you who have been training hard and already dropped your bodyfat percentage low enough to begin to see greater definition throughout your entire body, I have put together five exercises to help your abs & obliques really POP! Some of the exercises listed below are very challenging and I do not expect you to do all of them in one day. In fact, I would recommend that you add only one or two of the suggested exercises to your current abdominal routine. The five exercises are listed in order by level of difficulty. Start with the beginner movements and as your core becomes stronger you will be able to master the more advanced ones. Be sure to read the descriptions below and watch the videos attached to this article to ensure you learn proper form to help avoid an injury. A general rule of thumb I like to stick to with all my abdominal exercises is to do 3 – 4 sets of 15 – 20 reps per exercise. Now get to work and let’s see some results Nation! Beginner 1. Standing Oblique Crunch 2. Side Oblique Crunch Intermediate 1. Floor Wiper 2. Wood Chopper Advanced 1. Advanced Windmill- Torso Twist WOOD CHOPPER Starting Position: Use an adjustable pulley cable machine for this exercise. Put the pulley at waist level and grab the handle by interlocking your fingers. Next, take a couple steps away from the machine so the weights will not touch throughout the exercise. Your rear foot should be firmly planted on the ground, and your front foot should be pointed forward. Keep your knees slightly bent, your arms straight, and maintain a neutral spine while looking in the same direction your front foot is pointing. Action: Once in position swing your arms forward keeping while them straight. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat. Special Note: It is very important to make sure that you are facing forward at all times. This way when you return back to the starting position there will be constant tension on your core keeping your obliques engaged during the entire movement. STANDING OBLIQUE CRUNCH Starting Position: Hold a plate or dumbbell by your side with your feet about shoulder width apart. Keep your chest up and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise. Action: Begin the exercise by leaning toward the arm you are holding the weight weight. While contracting your core, slowly begin to lean to the opposite side until you feel a nice stretch up and down your obliques. Return to starting position and repeat. SIDE OBLIQUE CRUNCH Starting Position: Begin by laying down on your side with your feet together. next use the elbow of one arm to hold yourself in the air and put the hand of your other arm behind your head. Action: Once in place, begin to raise your hips off the ground while keeping your core tight and maintaining a neutral spine. Slowly return to the starting position without letting your hips touch the ground and repeat. ADVANCED WINDMILL - TORSO TWIST Starting Position: Find a stable bar that you can hang from. Hold the bar with a firm grip and slightly pull yourself up so that your shoulderblades are retracted and there is a bend in your elbows. *CONTINUE READING HERE* https://muscularstrength.com/article/Obliques-Serratus-How-To-Get-EXTRA-DEEP-Cuts Program Selector - Get The Right Program For You! - https://muscularstrength.com/Program-Selector ---------------------------------------- Subscribe To My Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness ---------------------------------------- 1 on 1 Online Coaching - http://muscularstrength.com/consultations ---------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD MY APP! – iPhone & Android! https://muscularstrength.com/phoneapp ---------------------------------------- MORE TIPS! - https://www.instagram.com/ScottHermanFitness'
