oblique crunches...the bench thats inclined that you lay on your side on it and crunch up...what you could also do is grap a plate or dumbell on one hand and stand up straight and crunch your oblique opposite from the weight

Use a medicine ball and twist from side to side with your ass on the floor using only your obliques.

Don't worry about your obliques for now. You have bigger fish to fry.

^^Strongly disagree, if you leave a body part then it automatically lags behind everything else and you have to work harder to bring it up.

I perform most if not all my ab work on the swiss ball.. top / middle and lower abs, along with side crunches.. Unbelievable workout.. not as easy as it looks but wow!!!..

I don't know how big or in what condition this guy is in, but considering the amount and the kind of questions that he's asking, I'm picturing a young, skinny guy.

A guy who seems to be worrying too much about his chest and abs, instead of putting the effort into basic exercises. Eating a lot and squatting, deadlifting, rowing, benching, pressing and chinning 3x/ week seem like a better option to me. I don't see the point of a 140-150lb guy worrying about specifically targeting his obliques.
