[DMxNemesis]

Здравей Милко! Как се диша при това упражнение?

[spidercho]

@Samgeku Когато ръката е горе е най-подходящо да се поеме въздух и отново да се задържи. Тоест, силата иска задържано количество въздух в пояса и стягането му, което е неизбежно при това упражнение точно.

@spidercho Благодаря!

[SecretsSanctuary]

Brutal, buddy; the more I do that exercise the more I become your fan. xD

[spidercho]

@SecretsSanctuary Cheers! ;-)

okay i think i understand, you mean that lying across the bench like that my spinal erectors will be activated?

[spidercho]

The erectors and lower back core muscles will protect spinal, especially on soft bench :) You can't activate your abs and erectors at the same time. I use this exercise with all kind of people, even with injured (incl. discal hernia).

[wasimkhan321]

is it good to lie across the bench in that way?

[spidercho]

Try it to feel your abs and whole core.

[wasimkhan321]

you mean i should stay very tight? i was asking because i thought maybe it would not be good for my spine to lie like that across the bench. I do the Turkish get up and the start position is similar

[spidercho]

Yes. But TG works abs for few seconds. And the idea is to do a bench PRESS. During my bench press spine is protected by the erectors. Also use a soft bench.
