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

http://www.MuscleHack.com/how-to-build-six-pack-abs

Hold the weight on your chest and start to decline your torso.

Dont allow your whole spine to hit the bench at the bottom of the rep. Only your lower back should make contact.

Come back up slowly

Hold at the Peak Contraction Point and pause for a second before starting the negative portion again.

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..

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.

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

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

@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.

[SupaFlyBoyZz699]

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

[lieutenantskygmail]

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.

[libertysunbeam2]

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.
