This core exercise targets your obliques through controlled trunk rotation while seated. At FitnessTracker, we use it to improve rotational strength and torso stability—both essential for athletic movement and injury prevention.
Instructions
- Sit on the end of a bench with your feet flat on the floor and a barbell resting across your shoulders.
- Hold the bar with a wide grip and keep your torso upright.
- Rotate your torso to one side as far as comfortable, keeping your hips and legs stable.
- Return to the center, then twist to the opposite side in a slow, controlled motion.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps, maintaining a steady tempo.
