SIDE ABS – EXTERNAL ABDOMINAL OBLIQUE
Talking and listening to the experiences and impressions of others I have concluded that everyone has a favorite muscle group, that I’d like to put that muscle is most pronounced. The vast majority asks me and is interested in the side crunches – EXTERNAL oblique abdominal muscles. We will explain the anatomy of these muscles, exercises to strengthen it and a couple of tricks in order to be more pronounced.
The external oblique muscle is located on the side and front parts of the abdomen. For most people, is not visible due to the subcutaneous adipose tissue and small size of muscle. Today people make mistakes because they devote more attention to strengthening the central abdominal wall with no or very little commitment on the side of the abdominal wall. The weak side muscles of the abdominal wall leading to deformities of the spine, curves back, pain in the lumbar region and imbalance of the entire muscular musculature. These muscles are very important, and many of those who engaged in their sport have frequent rotation of troops in relation to the lower body (tennis, judo …).
There are exercises without load and with load side abs to strengthen muscles. Exercises without load are designed for beginners and later when the muscles can be strengthened to switch to resistance exercises. Here are a few suggestions:
- Bicycle Crunches
Observe full rotation of troops, in addition to going to the left elbow right knee and touch it, and vice versa with the deflections of the hull and legs, hands are crossed at the back. 2 sets of 12-20 repetitions each side.
- Side Plank
Enduring the side plank position. A tight the whole musculature, the focus is on the abdomen, lower back, legs stretched. 2 sets each side of 10-30 seconds.
- Russian twist (with and without the ball)
Hull and feet were lifted off relying on the buttock with his hands crossed on his chest. The rotation of troops on both sides along the touching surfaces with crossed hands (ie the ball). 2 series 10-20 rotation in each direction.
- Standing dumbbell side bends
With weight in one hand and another hand behind the nape, drawing freehand – elbow down and forced opening of this without bending the arms. 2 sets of 10-20 repetitions each side.
- Cable lift
With one hand grasping for the lower cable with the use of opposing lateral muscles make tilt in the opposite direction. 3 sets each side, 10-20 repetitions.
- Hanging oblique raise
Hang out on the shaft, deflections banded or straight legs toward the trunk of one and half way across, focus on fixed hull. 3 sets of each party, 8-15 reps.
- Russian twist with barbell / standing Russian twist
Rotating troops standing with the bar at one end fixed to the floor. Rotating in one or another side, arms extended with a grip at one end rods, rotation of troops from lowering the end of the rod to the hook and return the other way, slightly bending arms at the elbows, knees slightly bent during the rotation with a vertical rise opposite the heel of the hand rotation. 3 sets of 10-20 repetitions to each side.
The lateral abdominal muscles do not need to train every day, it is sufficient to 2-3 times a week, do 3-4 exercises. Like any other muscle and the external oblique muscle side next to the appropriate forms of exercises and increases sufficient intake of proteins that are the building component of muscle. Another important thing is the diet that is the removal of fat to muscle was as pronounced. In addition to diet and proper nutrition is necessary and appropriate cardio (running, cycling, rowing) at least 20 minutes to cause decomposition of fat deposits and fat burning.

BRAZILIAN BUTT- glutes workout
Often, there are opportunities in the social networks to see how celebrities have perfect shape ass – glutes muscles. Since it is a muscle like any other in the body it can be formed. There are 3 stages to go to the Brazilian ideal glutes. These are: resistance exercises, cardio training and nutrition supplementation. All three phases will explain gradually.
First a little to explain the anatomy of the gluteus muscle. It consists of three heads: the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus. As in the name, you can conclude that part of this muscle is the largest and the smallest. That we will illustrate.
Exercises for glutes muscle:
1. Full Squat:
The difference between half and full squat is that the full squat mostly affects muscle gluteus and half squat affects most quadriceps – calf muscle. For the full squat is essential to back the whole movement and stay right foot over the surface of the earth (without raising the heel). The exercise is performed initially with no load and later with load. 10-15 repetitions in 4-5 sets.
2. Split Squat:
The second exercise to shape and firm your glutes is split squat. This exercise is focused on one side of the gluteal and the other, can be performed with the dumbbell or on the Smith machine. 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps both legs.
3. Kickback:
The exercise that can be performed with no load and load may (cables or the Smith machine). It is performed in 4 sets of 12-20 reps each side.
4. Kettlebell swing:
Kettlebell swing is a very good exercise that mostly affects gluteus muscles. It is important to be done very precisely right the risk of injury the lower back.
The feet are placed in parallel with an attitude somewhat wider than the width of shoulders, hands are extended with a kettlebell in his hands, back right and look flat. Rocking is performed while raising the hips forward and swinging bell in the mountains with outstretched arms. In the last position of the whole body upright while fully corrected and toned arms. The movement goes back down with repeated swinging bells. In this exercise large muscle groups engaged, and the following chart you can see and that are the most.
Cardio training:
In addition to training with weights and loads where we build and shape the muscles, the next step is loss and burning fat through cardio training, gluteus muscle was more pronounced and not obscured by fatty deposits. It includes running, walking, walking uphill, elliptic, cross trainer, bike. The most important thing is that cardio training time longer practiced, 30 minutes and more, because the decomposition of fat begins after approximately 20 minutes of cardio training.
Nutritional supplementation:
We will start first with carbohydrate. It is important for the energy that we spend time training and rebuild after training for recovery. Complex hydrates are the most important source of energy, and to avoid simple sugars , that hydrates if is not spend going into the fat. Other fats, reduce to the lowest amount I entered using only healthy fats. Third proteins, which are building block of muscle and very essential entered using them in sufficient quantities to build muscle gluteus. The minimum amount of daily protein intake should be 1 gram per kilogram of your weight. Foods rich in protein or protein shake is a mandatory after training, due to the recovery and building muscles during training breaks down.
