Dumbbell Side Bends
When you want to slim your waist and tighten your love handles, these dumbbell exercises must be one of your first choices of movement. The only problem is that these exercises don’t actually engage your obliques at all, according to the performance specialist Matt Cheng, CSCS. “Most of the time, it requires too much lateral bending and twisting of the spine”, he explained.
Instead, Cheng recommended doing hanging oblique knee raises on a bar. “These target the same oblique muscles while taking the pressure off your spine.” Instead, you can try gripping both of your hands around a pull-up bar and hanging with your feet together and your body straight.
Remember, you have to do it without swinging a bit! Then, bend your knees together and draw them up toward your right arm. After that, bring your feet back down together.

I think instead of parties continuously fighting themselves, blaming the other, wasting time on irrelevent issues that mean nothing to the welfare of its citizens. Stop trying to raise retirement age, the underprivileged work hard enough trying to get there. LEAVE YOUR HANDS OUT OF IT, STOP USEING IT FOR YOUR DOWNFALLS.
behind neck press is only a problem if you go to WIDE.!!!!
Hi
Saying that crunches is bad, and that people can build a strong core without doing exercises that target the abs is flat out wrong. Very bad advice. Crunches are one of the most important exercises a person can do. Do most people do them perfectly? No. Still they’re incredibly valuable, because at the end of the day, supporting your core is one of the most important outcomes of any exercise regimen. I like having bigger biceps , but that’s all just for looks!
What is the point of giving alternate exercises if you don’t show what they look like?
