1. 0:00Most men train their core thinking about
2. 0:02one thing, six pack, front of the
3. 0:05stomach. But here's what nobody talks
4. 0:07about. The muscles on the sides of your
5. 0:09core, your obliques, are the ones that
6. 0:12actually change the shape of your entire
7. 0:14body. They create a natural taper at
8. 0:17your waist. That narrowing makes your
9. 0:19shoulders look wider, [music] your chest
10. 0:21look bigger, your whole upper body look
11. 0:24more powerful without adding a single
12. 0:26inch. When someone looks at a man and
13. 0:29thinks, [music] "That guy looks built."
14. 0:31Half the time it's not the muscles, it's
15. 0:33the shape, and the shape comes from
16. 0:35here. There are a few movements that
17. 0:38really build obliques, but the one I
18. 0:40want you to start with is the side cycle
19. 0:42crunch. Lie on your side, bottom arm out
20. 0:45in front for stability, top hand behind
21. 0:48your head. Now keep your hips completely
22. 0:50still and bring your elbow down toward
23. 0:52your knee as your knee comes up to meet
24. 0:54it. That crunch at the top, that's the
25. 0:56oblique fully contracting. Slow and
26. 0:59controlled every single rep. You'll feel
27. 1:02exactly where your obliques are after
28. 1:04the first set.
