Oblique workouts
I know that the core ab workouts work your obliques also, but what are some really good oblique workouts that mainly isolate those muscles?

In my ab workouts I like to do crunches on my side. Actually, it's inbetween a crunch and a situp, but it's done while lying on my hip. Another exercise is to get a dumbell in ONE of your hands and do side-bends while standing up (although I don't have enough experience with this exercise to tell you whether it works well or not). I often see geniuses doing these with dumbells in both hands.

Decline russian twists are one of the best.
Hold a plate in your hands to add resistance.

Diet and cardio. When your bodyfat is low enough, obliques will come out. Working them out directly isnt needed.

I learned this one from my muay thai trainer. If you know what mountain climbers are it will make it a lot easier for me to explain. If not I'll try my best. Alright mountain climbers you basically get in the leaning rest pushup position except stick your rear way in the air for these (there's some yoga name for it but i don't know it). Anyways, then you alternate legs pulling your knees into your chest basically hopping back and forth. For our muay thai we do this except instead of ending up on the ball of the front foot you end up on the outside of your front quadricep then alternate legs. Sorry kind of weird to explain if anybody has a picture or can explain it better maybe you can get a better picture of what I'm talking about.
