In this Portuguese‑language fitness monologue, the speaker warns viewers against training the oblique muscles. He explains that, when developed, obliques can become large and create the visual impression of excess fat or a bulky abdomen, even on a lean individual. He illustrates this with a visual example of a person whose obliques are prominent, making the midsection look less aesthetic despite low body fat. The speaker advises that, to achieve a clean “entradinha” (the coveted abdominal line), one should focus on rectus abdominis exercises instead of oblique work, thereby avoiding the undesirable aesthetic effect while still developing a defined midsection.
