Sets, reps and RIR
Sets3
Reps10 to 20
RIR1 to 2
Stop the set when position breaks, not when the muscle burns. Quality of position is the whole point.
RIR means reps in reserve: how many you could still have done when you racked it. RIR 2 is two short of failure.
Muscles worked
Primary: Obliques.
Secondary: Abs.
Estimate your one-rep max
Epley's formula, from a set you have actually done. It is an estimate, and it drifts above eight reps, so keep the input between one and twelve.
