Review: Barbell Side Bend
Sep 2, 2011 9:48 AM: Wow, really works your abs and lower back as stabilizers. Very interesting exercise that I'm going to incorporate into my core workouts.

Jun 30, 2011 8:36 AM: In truth, this exercise hits the obliques primarily, and hits the abs and lower back in a secondary manner since all they do is stabilize. If done with a challenging amount of weight, this is a very effect exercise for the external obliques. For those with knee injuries, keep a slight bend in the knees...+See More

Review: Barbell Side Bend
Mar 1, 2011 11:24 PM: Not bad, Really have to be careful and concentrate on not hurting the lower back. I just used the 45 lbs bar but am worried about it bulking my obliques.
