HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Saxons

its a standard side bend for your obliques...but instead of your arms at your side they are full stretch above your head

finally found it!

Yep, that's the gist of it. You don't have to be as dramatic as the guy in the video though.

Two things for the record:

1) I had my DBs like almost touching, maybe 1" apart. And this killed my delts.

2) Only my delts were sore the next days, though I felt the stretch in my obliques while I was doing it. I figure my delts need to catch up before I can do enough weight to make my obliques sore again, but that's OK since my obliques were getting kind of big anyways.

Have fun and glad I could turn you guys on to this,

Ok..did these with my 11's yesterday...sore from arm pit to waist..haha...love them. I think that they will help with my yoke walk, farmers walk, and deadlift...love them.

Hmm? never tried these. how do they compare to weighted side oblique hyperextensions?

whoa this thread is pretty old!

um id say that a saxon would be more functional for day to day movements and activitys thats why i would choose them over the hyperextension version. (mainly because you are standing)

though if you just want mass.....they are both valid, cycle their use and change them for a bit of variety
