No question they're good for strength.I do heavy oblique work almost every week. Obliques are more important than recuts abdominus work for strength IMO. I like heavy carries, offset one arm carries, static side holds with a barbell, landmine twists and static holds on a 45 degree hyper with a dumbbell or kettlebell. I usually do these movements for time instead of reps. When going heavy I keep it between 15-30 secs. For lighter weight I like to go 1-2 mins.
did this happen Friday night or Saturday night? Or both? Was an excavator involved?I do a ton of it. Pallof presses, Turkish get ups, and lots of static planking.
Having strength in the obliques is key to being able to do technical stand-ups with a 2am butter faced bar fly passed out on you.
I mean...unless you want to gnaw your own arm off...your choice.

Pallof presses are another favorite as well. I actually just like doing them for time with the band held out in front of me.
You don’t happen to live near the Omega Moo sorority house by chance?I've got a cherry picker with a radio controlled servo wired into a 220v outlet by my bed. But...I'm a lounge lizard. A real self-loathing chubby chaser.
For those that don't have my professional setup and make the occasional "mistake"...the oblique work is helpful.
But yessir, pallofs are great. I do them in lots of weird ways. Arms up, down, doing lunges, single arm, all sorts of weird stuff.
