How much weight for Oblique Stretch?

The one I'm talking about are SL/PE4>iM and SL/PE5>iM

I'm using 5kg.

I did 16kg the other day (grabbed the closest KettleBell). Worked well.

How intense a stretch do you feel with the chosen weight

It was good

I used 40lbs, but I should probably go more.

You can also straight your non working hand over head to maximize the stretch.

Hmm is it really that necessary to move up to such high weights before moving on?

No, not at all! You're suppose to stretch your obliques, not doing a max lift.

So what's the minimum before moving on

Depends your size. The important thing is to feel a good stretch and get mobility in your oblique

Hum.. I guess I'll just build up to 10% of my bodyweight I guess before moving to next element I guess?

By the way, the Arch-ups done Foundation style (legs parallel to floor with partner) is worlds harder than a regular archup done on a machine type set-up.  Very shocked about that

Now raise your hands overhead and hold them thightly next to your ears.

Feel the difference. Even more so now.

I use 25#. It is more than enough for me.

When you say machine are you talking the horizontal roman chair type or something else? I have access to the kind where your legs are straight behind you, not on an angle down to the floor like others. Just curious for when I get there if I would be wasting my time on it. Thanks.
