Yes, i do love this exercise … Beside of being terribly hard for the core, it’s fully functional and has direct applications to the martial arts.

Also, from my list of beloved exercises for the core, i would add the more known russian twist.

Anyway … i little point: beware with the knees. I had some problems with the ACL in the past and, if you dont do this exercise with a totally correct technique there is a risk of messing up your knees. The pressure on the knees is quite high.

Nice article.

Yavor,
Your right. I should know better, I guess. I did these again today and really think they are great. I am going to read your last post and make sure that I am not making any mistakes! Thanks for the help.

Kelly – without steroids your obliques will not get thick anytime soon. Vasko – the guy in the video with the 45kg full contact twist looks very athletic. And 45kg is ridiculously heavy.

so don’t worry!

Yavor,
I tried these this week and really like them. I have been thinking that I need to work my core more than I have been. These are a great way to work your core! Do you think that going too heavy on these will make you get thick eventually? I was doing pretty light weight since I have never done them, but would like to build up my strength up. My sides are so sore! I don’t remember feeling it more with any other exercise. Thanks for the post!

Thanks for posting this up! I’ve been doing these three times a week since you first posted this, and you really do get a great total-body and mid-section workout.

Thanks again!
