Exercise Description

The off bench oblique hold builds serious core strength and stability. It targets your side abs while teaching your body to resist movement under stress.

How To

1. Lie sideways on a bench with your hip at the edge and your top leg slightly forward for balance. 2. Place your bottom arm on the bench for support and let your upper body hang off the side. 3. Keep your body straight from head to toe - don't let your hips sag or rotate during the off bench oblique hold. 4. Hold this position while breathing normally and keeping your core tight throughout the movement. 5. Complete your time goal, then switch sides and repeat the off bench oblique hold on the other side.

Form Tips

• Keep your body in a straight line - no sagging hips or arched back during the off bench oblique hold • Breathe normally while holding the position - don't hold your breath • Place your top leg slightly forward to help with balance and stability • Focus on squeezing your obliques to maintain the hold rather than straining your neck

Common Mistakes

• Letting your hips sag down instead of keeping your body straight during the off bench oblique hold • Holding your breath instead of breathing normally throughout the movement • Using your neck muscles instead of your core to maintain position in the off bench oblique hold
