Bottle Weighted Overhead Crunch
The home crunch with a filled bottle held overhead in both hands; the arms stay beside the ears as the shoulders curl.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, knees bent, feet flat, a full bottle held in both hands overhead, arms straight.
Steps
- Curl up, carrying the bottle with the head.
- Stop when the shoulder blades clear the floor.
- Roll back down until the bottle touches the floor.
Common mistakes
Bottle swinging forward to help: arms by the ears the whole rep. Lower back lifting off the floor: keep the waist pressed down. Loose grip on a slippery bottle: hold it by the neck and the base.
Breathing
Exhale on the crunch, inhale lowering.
