Hey people, What muscle do we use to twist our torso around the vertical axis. Are that what the side stomach muscles are for?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Muscle that twists the torso

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Those muscles are called the obliques and they are used to stabilize side to side motions of the upper body.

where are these muscle located and how can I strengthen them?

You can strengthen them by doing any one of these exercises:
1. torso twists (stay in a half sit-up position, arms extended with a medicine ball in your hand, then twist from side to side.)
2. side crunches (lay on your side with your hands behind your head and move your top elbow towards your feet, squeezing your sides. Remember to do both sides.)
3. Any other variations to sit-ups where rotation is involved.

Your Obliques are your "love handles", or on the sides for your stomack.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Use the following two exercises to strengthen the obliques (use dumbbells for the second one if you have no kettlebell access)

It's like u hold a db in one hand (let's say left) N u let your torso go sideways (so the db goes down) then u 'pull the db up with your upperbody.
