Reply With QuoteDumbell side bends focus on obliques, I see guys and gals doing them, I don't consider them particularly 'girly'.
I don't like them though, just a personal preference and this type of weighted oblique work thickens my waistline so I would chose something like oblique crunches instead.

Help with a "Girly" excersize...
I see girls all the time do an excersize that I kinda want to do.
They stand up in front of a mirror with a dumbell in one hand. They then bend side to side slowly so it kind of looks like their trying to get water out of their ears. Im guessing this helps the on the sides of your abs. Why dont guys do this though? Are their any other excersizes that will help with that muscle group and wont make me look gay?

Do a search on obliques and you should get loads of ideas.
A lot of people here don't advocate oblique specific training because it can give the appearance of love handles, normal ab exercises work them enough...in some people's eye's.Life is not a bitch. Life is a beautiful women. You just call her a bitch because she won't give you that sweet pussy.

They arent fat, they just OVER-worked and OVER-developed their "oblique" area with heavy weighted side bends. LLLOLLLL Originally Posted by MWpro

I used to do them when I was 22 years old and they killed my v look it gave me a boxy look, but if you box I think its a good exercise.
The hit's to the obliques don't hurt as much.
