The Best Oblique Exercise (You're Not Doing) A few of the most common moves I see done for oblique work are the Pallof Press, side planks and teapots-love them or hate them-which is a topic for another day. But my favorite is actually a unilateral balance challenge and bodyweight exercise. This move requires no equipment and is deceptively hard. But if you regress to progress, and take the time to master it, it will take not only your core strength, but also your scapular, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle stability to the next level. It-s seriously one of the most amazing compound oblique exercises out there and one of the most awkward feeling as you get your balance - The Single Arm Rotational Plank with Knee Drive. This rotational core exercise is an amazing way to really target your obliques and abs while also working your adductors, quads, Serratus Anterior, shoulders, back-and so much more. However it is more challenging a unilateral move than we give it credit for. If you can-t control the advanced variation and perform it slowly, please make sure to use the modifications I mention. You don-t get better results by rushing a movement or by doing a harder variation you haven-t earned. The best results happen when we are intentional with our exercises so we can get more out of every movement. And you want to make sure you get all of the benefits you can from this move!

No way!
This exercise has nothing but future injuries waiting to happen. You say it works multiple muscles, but that doesn-t mean there-s a benefit to those other muscles for growth, significant adaptations, and of course not enough load to cause a stimulus.
Zero benefits! There-s way to much risk than reward for this exercise. In fact why would any who wants to target their obliques incorporate larger muscles groups?
What you-re prescribing, negates a pure stimulus for the obliques.
A person who wants to target their obliques should perform an exercise specifically for the obliques, or choose an exercise than can target the obliques with isolation.
This exercise is far from isolating the obliques.
The complete lack of stability that comes with this exercise alone is extremely detrimental.
I see in the comments many individuals seem to believe this is a safe, and great exercise, when in fact it-s not.
You should reevaluate this.

What-s your reasoning for having the wrist directly under the shoulder? Why is this position more stable and/or safer for the shoulder? I actually feel more pushing power and stability if my wrist is set slightly forward of my shoulder. This position also is a bit less intense for the wrist in extension. Curious about your thoughts. Thanks!

occasionaly I visit athlean x and I have banned vshred because I don't want that kind of muscle at this point in life. Alex and his partner are wonderful and I should have started it in my twenties instead of my 60's. RS is also putting me through the ringer and avoiding this movement was my shortcoming. Getting my balance is tricky.

I-ve had some injuries that make doing some ab exercises difficult for me, this looks like an exercise that I can do and not have to deal with the pain I run into from old injuries. Thank you and keep making the videos, they are extremely informative.

So I am using a chair pushed up against a solide surface and extending my leg as far as possible AND going slow and progressing until balance is good. Thanks for your feedback. My actual goal is a combo of oblique and serratus.

II-m definitely going to try this one. You do a great job demonstrating. Would like a little more clarity on which muscles you are referring to as I-m not as familiar with anatomy. Keep -em coming.

I think I saw you show this one in another video somewhere, decided to remember it-. and promptly forgot -- Thank you for dedicating a whole video to this exercise! -

You truly have the best way of presenting material in a pithy, interesting, and effective way. Thanks for being incredibly consistent and original.
