THE OBLIQUES / When you know what their job is, you’ll know how to train them 🫡. 
-

 1: THE OBLIQUES ASSIST IN ROTATION: Due to the positioning and structure of the obliques, they are one of the primary core rotational muscles. This means when you are performing motions in the transverse plane (rotating), your obliques are the primary movers.  Think of movements like the baseball swing. To do this, the external obliques will work with the contralateral internal obliques. This is just a fancy way of saying the opposite, as in the right external oblique works with the left internal oblique and vice-versa.

2: ASSIST IN RESISTING ROTATION: At the same time, the obliques are responsible for anti-rotation. Our bodies use anti-rotation much more frequently in real life to help stabilize the core and provide a base to work off of. Imagine opening a heavy door with one arm but you didn’t resist the pulling motion. Instead of pulling the door towards you, you’d just rotate your body towards it in a rotational manner.

3: ASSIST IN CORE STABILITY: The obliques also provide general core stability. When providing stability, as with anti-rotation and anti lateral flexion both sets of obliques will fire simultaneously in equal proportions to provide a stabilizing force. This can be done in just about any direction, such as preventing bending over to the side (think carrying a bag in one hand) or keeping the core stiff. 

4: ASSIST IN LATERAL BENDING: The obliques will also assist in lateral bending. Think if you were to lean over to the side and then come back up; this is done primarily by the obliques. 

Hope this helps 

As always,

Peace and movement ✌🏽
