thats a lot especially with 3 repeats. Would it be too much for a beginner?

just don't repeat it 3 times if you can't, your abs will probably be sore for like a week when you start, but after that they never get sore again.

nah i had abs at like 20%bf kinda wild cause it made me think i had wide hips like a kleinfeltercel but turns out i was just fat and muscular somehow despite not working out much before i decided to put size on

does any of that target obliques? iirc you’re supposed to avoid hypertrophy of them to not grow your waist

 

[R@m@]

standing explosive twists 20 reps

superset hanging leg raises 10 reps, hanging hollow body to failure followed by crunches to failure

does it look like I have big obliques.

not really. just asking though

I purposely avoid twisting movements, because they're bad for your spine, as a result I don't isolate obliques.
