Advanced Geriatric Obliques Exercises with Barbell

Many people put a lot of focus on working their abs but forget their surrounding neighbors; the oblique muscles. Obliques serve as stabilizers, and are used in almost every physical activity. Exercising your obliques should be a very important part of your workout program. The exercises below will help you work your oblique muscles.

A barbell is a piece of exercise equipment used in weight training, weightlifting and powerlifting. Barbells range in length from 4 feet (1.2 m) to 8 feet (2.4 m) and vary in diameter. Disc weights (plates) are slid onto the outer portions of the bar to obtain the desired total weight. These weights are often secured with collars to prevent them from sliding off during the exercise. The barbell can vary in weight from 15lbs. to 45lbs. and has sleeves on both ends that rotate. This enables the weight plates to spin on their own axis, which eliminates the rotational-inertia effect placed on the lifter during explosive lifts like the clean and jerk and snatch.
