Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Side-Lying Cycle Oblique Tuck.
The Side-Lying Cycle Oblique Tuck is a floor exercise performed on the side where you cycle the knees in toward the chest in a tucking motion, placing intense tension on the obliques with each repetition. The side-lying position isolates the lateral core effectively without stressing the lower back.
The Side-Lying Cycle Oblique Tuck is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
