Therefore, in order to achieve balanced muscle growth of the external oblique muscles on both sides, the order of the left and right external oblique muscle movements should be adjusted for each set of exercises.

2. Practice 4 groups each time. When both sides have been practiced, it is a group without any rest in between. After practicing both sides, take a 1-2 minute break before starting the next set of exercises. 30-50 reps on each side, do the same for 4 sets.
