The obliques, which you might have heard being called "side abs," will take a different approach to train. You might also have heard that to develop them, you'd have to pile on rep after rep of ...
The two oblique muscles are the internal and external obliques. They're important for core stability and a slimmer waist. Try the 9 best oblique exercises.
Muscles Worked: A plank is a full-body exercise, but specifically, it works your transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis (aka the six-pack), internal and external obliques and scapular (shoulder ...
Transverse fascia. A side strain is a muscle strain caused by tearing of the transversalis fascia or the internal oblique muscle. [1] [unreliable medical source?] When this occurs, stretching the muscle will be severely painful, making it difficult to move the arm, and the strain may later be marked by swelling or bruising.
Primary: transversus abdominis muscle, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles (abductors), the adductor muscles of the hip, and the external and internal obliques. Secondary: gluteus maximus (glutes), quadriceps (quads), and hamstrings.
The major muscles involved in core stability include the pelvic floor muscles, transversus abdominis, multifidus, internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis, erector spinae (sacrospinalis) especially the longissimus thoracis, and the diaphragm.
External obliques. You'll find these muscles on the side of your abs. They run from the lower ribs to the pelvis on a diagonal and assist with rotation, bending and spine stability. Internal obliques.
The lateral cutaneous branch ("iliac branch") pierces the internal oblique muscles and the external oblique muscles immediately above the iliac crest. [4] It is distributed to the skin of the gluteal region, behind the lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve; the size of this branch bears an inverse proportion to that of the lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve.
