They are located between the ribs and the pelvis and make up the waist. The obliques help the trunk to rotate and bend.
Muscle fibers in the external obliques run medially and inferiorly from the origins to the insertions across the lateral sides of the abdomen and end just lateral to the rectus abdominis muscles. The location and structure of the external abdominal obliques gives them many different possible actions. Contraction of both external obliques together results in the compression of the abdomen (as in sucking in the gut) or the flexion of the trunk (as in performing a crunch or sit-up).
