How To Get a Small Waist and Abs

Big Bad Obliques
 
Many people realize the importance of the midsection and are eager to
work on it. Sometimes, however, that eagerness can lead to a costly 
error. And that error is serious enough to undo most of the waist 
training effort put in.

What is the error? Loading up the obliques. The obliques are the 
muscles that lie at the side of the midsection. When developed, they
look great. So what’s the problem with hitting the obliques hard? You 
can hit them as hard as you want as long as you don't use weights to 
do so.

Vince Gironda pointed out that building up the muscles of the 
obliques makes your waist appear a lot thicker. It actually adds 
inches to your midsection and destroys the V shape.

Adding inches, even if they are muscle, is going to make you look 
thicker, not leaner. And if you do happen to have a bit of fat around
the mid-section, then bloating up the obliques makes the middle 
appear even worse.

The main culprit for putting unwanted inches on the middle via the 
obliques is the weighted side bend. Side bends are fine as long as 
you don't use weights. Some people not only use dumbbells to train 
their obliques – they use very heavy dumbbells. And this makes their 
obliques heavy and thick, and the waist heavy and thick in turn.

Go ahead and work your midsection hard, but don't overload the 
obliques with weight training. Use body weight only to target this 
side section of your middle. Save the weight loads for the legs, 
chest and other areas that you really want to get heavier and 
thicker.
