Weight-Plate Bench Lying-Side Oblique Crunch

Lie on your side on an exercise bench with your legs stacked together and hold a weight plate across your chest with your top arm.

Rest your bottom arm comfortably along your side or across your waist for balance.

Engage your obliques to lift your upper body off the bench, bringing your shoulder toward your hip.

Pause briefly at the top of the crunch while keeping your hips steady on the bench.

Lower your torso back down in a controlled motion to return to the starting position.
