What exercise Accomplishes: Bent over twists tighten the oblique.
Implementation: (A) First Stand with your feet apart,
place a bar across the back of your shoulders, hold it, and bend forward from
the waist as much as is comfortable. (B) Having your head steady, and
blocking your pelvis from rotating, intentionally turn your upper body and
shoulders in one direction as far as possible. Keep at the extreme rotated
position, then turn your torso and shoulders back in the other direction as far
as you can, making sure you don't swing and that you keep the movement under
control.
