Plate Decline Sit Up instructions

Step-by-step instructions

Sit down at the edge of a decline bench, holding a weight plate at your chest.

Slowly lean back onto the bench, keeping your legs hooked under the padded bar for support.

With your arms holding the plate out in front of you, contract your abdominals to lift your body upwards.

At the top of the movement, your body should make a 'V-shape' with the bench.

Slowly lower your body back down in a controlled manner, then immediately engage your core to start the next rep.
