Stick Twists: Frank Zane's Secret to a Chiseled Waist

Crafting the Perfect Obliques with Frank Zane's Stick Twists 🔥🔥

Transform Your Waistline with This Timeless Technique

Abs are made in the kitchen, but defined in the gym. 

A lot of people will spend time doing weighted side bends in order to taper their waist, but it's time we take a page out of legendary Golden Era bodybuilder Frank Zane's oblique training book.

The Stick Twist.

The stick twist is performed by turning at the hip and using your oblique/serratus anterior to stop the power. Then, you'll use your other hip to turn and use the opposite oblique/serratus anterior to do the same.

Rep schemes should be high. I perform anywhere from 50-80 reps for 2-3 sets while prepping for a bodybuilding show.

Benefits of the Stick Twist:

  • Targeted Oblique and Serratus Activation: Engages key muscle groups for a well-defined, tapered waistline.
  • High-Volume Rep Scheme: Promotes endurance and muscle definition, ideal for bodybuilding and aesthetic enhancement.
  • Legacy Technique with Proven Results: Utilizes a classic bodybuilding move proven effective by one of the legends of the sport.
