The external oblique muscles contract in response to various stimuli, primarily during activities that require trunk rotation, lateral flexion, or stabilization of the torso. Neural signals from the brain, particularly from the motor cortex, activate these muscles when engaged in movements such as twisting, bending, or heavy lifting. Additionally, they can be activated reflexively during actions that require core stability to protect the spine.

The inguinal ligament runs deep to the external oblique muscle.
The right internal oblique and the left external oblique contract as the torso flexes and rotates to bring the left shoulder towards the right hip. The left internal oblique and the right external oblique rotates the right shoulder to the left hip (as in grapping for your seat belt). For this reason, the internal obliques are referred to as "same side rotators."

The external oblique muscles form the external lateral walls of the abdomen. These muscles run diagonally down and towards the midline of the body, aiding in movements like trunk flexion and rotation.
The internal oblique muscles help with trunk rotation and bending, while the external oblique muscles assist with trunk flexion and rotation.
External oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis
External Oblique
The function of the external oblique is to pull the chest downward and compress the abdominal cavity. In other words, it helps you bend over.
