You want to target obliques, then you need to impart some twist, OR, you may try to do side crunch movt.

I think there is a bit misunderstanding here...What I mean was the "Cable Crunches" doug posted in the original thread.
Quote:
(3) Cable crunches
The third movement will work your oblique muscles, which are on the sides of your body. Side-to-side rope crunches are great because the weight can be adjusted to each individual's strength level. Use a tricep pushdown cable and comfortably kneel facing the machine with both cables in your hands.
The cables should now be on each side of you above your head. Alternatively crunch down the weight to each knee. The contraction should be controlled and performed slowly to maintain good form and maximise the work on the obliques.

The movement described doesn't really correspond to the link provided by doug...especially "Alternatively crunch down the weight to each knee." Doesn't look like the topless guy is crunching down to each knee...
