How To Do Weighted Decline Sit-Ups - Great Exercise For The Abs

[SkAtE45ist]

It feels like my legs are getting a work-out more then my Abs. Is this just from poor form or?

@SkAtE45ist This type of sit up and I think nearly all if not all abs exercises work your legs, and a lot work your back too. To be honest I think this exercise he is doing here ^ IS SHIT you will be straining your back way more than your abs and you will probably work your back muscles really hard and have to stop before you can work your abs to the max. And yeah you will work your quads a lot too. - Toe touches, V sits, Bicycle crunches, planking and triangles are all WAY better trust me bro.

[kyle1172]

@SkAtE45ist Oh yeah also there are exercises you can do from a pull up bar, holding your legs out straight and windscreen wipers are really good, but pretty advanced, I have seen one person who hung from the bar from her legs and did sit ups to the top of the bar as you would on the ground but hanging, if you know what I mean, - that would probably be quite effective too, if you wanna risk it haha.

Grab a barbell, preferably 1 inch in diameter and yolk it.

below is a message i left on other video,n then i see ur video perfect form. "if u do decline sit up like this ull never feel any burn even if u do 20 set of 100 reps,, the reason y is when u go all the way up, ur abs have a chance to rest no longer in tight core mode,, so dont go all the way up n go back down keep it tight all the time thru out the set,dont let ur abs rest,, u will feel the burn in bout 15-20 reps

Alright there! Have you heard about - fast abs magic (just google it)? Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got great 6 pack abs and lost a truck load of of belly fat with it.

[SupaFlyBoyZz699]

@lieutenantskygmail there aint no short cut or magic bout abs dude, if there is, then every1 would have 6 packs, cardio,eat clean,workout, n ull have abs.

you can also do a shoulder strap machine for abs if you have access to weight machines in addition to this excersize using the same technique to failure each set until you can just shrug the weight. your routine wont last long and rest a day or so after.

[libertysunbeam2]

ie. when you can do alot of reps its time to increase weight and get back to where you can do only 6 to failure, should be 5 lb weight at the most. hopefully getting a 25lb barbell for my bday this month and doing these at home.

[libertysunbeam2]

when you can only shrug the weight, ie you wont be able to do a situp then you will have exausted done the excersize to complete failure. you can check every 3 or 4 days with adding a five lb weight to see if your ready to add weight if your unsure when too. also you will easily take a shit lol. ive tried everything 1,000 situps a day etc. little results, emmediatly felt results doing these. its like having your stomach constantly flex like a bicep muscle lol.

[libertysunbeam2]

Yep, make sure you get a weight that you can do 6 reps with (generaly about 25-30 lbs depending on build). I do every set to failure and rest a day. you will see improvements in the number of reps you can do gradualy if you add a day or so rest. when you can easily lift the weight increase the weight by five lbs and start out again where you failure at 6 reps. resting helps build strength in my opinion, not muscle. I did these at a friends place for a couple days, emmediatly youll feel results.

is it good if you do v shape with that weighT?

[AGazaMiSeh]

You're suppose to go all the way down bro, nice motion though, but you kinda took long to get back down.

[WizFitness]

I have an awesome way on how to do Decline sit ups that you will LOVE check my channel page!

Keep up the good work

[vroomvroom333]

Bro, you know what's a far more effective way of doing these? Hold the plate behind your head and explode up, squeeze your abs, and go back down smoothly, repeat.

[DarKnightofCydonia]

I don't have the equipment to do the decline, but I'll try those weighted sit ups tomorrow

[overlevnadsoverall]

hey pussy put the plate behind your neck and then do a new vid plz

[rmsolympic1]

@overlevnadsoverall I could be wrong here, but my guess is that the exercise is afer, though perhaps a tad easier, with the weight held against the chest.

[overlevnadsoverall]

@rmsolympic1 it s a lot easier just becouse of the physical laws. when the plate is behind your neck, it s automaticially more far from your torso than when the plate is on your chest. hard to explain. try and see!

[rmsolympic1]

@overlevnadsoverall Yes, I have done it both ways, and I would say that the chest-held version is a bit easier, but it feels safer, so when I do do it behind the head, I choose weight that does not cause undue lower back strain.

[billysue2]

@rmsolympic1 you are wrong,its no safer but obiously harder due to worse leverage,just dont pull on your head with the weight.

[rmsolympic1]

@billysue2 Really, how is it no safer; explain? Thanks

[billysue2]

@rmsolympic1 its no safer because its excatly the same motion with exactly the same joint forces,the difference is the distance of the load from the axis of rotation in the lower back (and hip if you go that far).That makes it more difficult for the same amount of weight but not safer unless you use too much weight(which is the same for every exercise).The problem with holding the weight on your chest is that many lads need a very big weight to challenge them.

[Coriolus]

Mark, do you ever get lower back fatigue/strain when you do these, I find when I am nearing the top of my set my lower back area starts really screaming out to me..

[MuscleHack]

@Coriolus That shouldn't be happening. Check your form. Your upper back shouldn't be touching the bench at the bottom. Read the article in the description for more.

[billysue2]

@Coriolus the lower back strain is from hip flexor activation ,if you only lift the upper back off the bench ,this wont happen as much.Also,it happens when youre stomach isnt strong enough to counteract the hipflexors.
