Band Decline Sit-Up
The decline sit-up against a band anchored at the head end of the bench and held across the shoulders.
How to do it
Setup
Feet hooked on a decline bench, lying back, a band from the low end of the bench looped over the shoulders, hands holding it by the collarbones.
Steps
- Curl up against the band until the torso is upright.
- Keep the band pinned at the shoulders.
- Lower slowly as the band pulls you back.
Common mistakes
Band slipping up the neck: hold it low across the shoulders. Letting the band yank you down: lower on a slow count. Pulling on the band with the arms: the hands only hold it in place.
Breathing
Exhale sitting up, inhale rolling down.
