Are pulley Side Bend effective for the abs/obliques?

You Hold a square handle in your right hand with your palms in.
Place your left hand on your waist.
Keep your back straight.
Bend to the right as far as you can, then bend to the left as far as possible.

I just do DB side bends (or I use the 45 plates if they have a handle). It seems to be helping a lot with core strength. Not sure about "look" of the abs/obliques. I'll let ya know when I can actually see my abs!

I use incline twisting cruches for obliques, but like Killah, I'll have to see my abs first!
