Leg Pull In Flat Bench
Lying along a flat bench and holding it, pull the knees in to the chest from straight legs and push them back out.
How to do it
Setup
Lying along a flat bench, hands holding it, legs straight and raised just off the bench.
Steps
- Pull the knees in toward the chest.
- Push the legs back out straight, stopping before they drop.
- Keep the lower back down through every rep.
Common mistakes
Legs dropping below the bench at full extension: stop them level with it. Lower back arching as the legs push out: brace and keep it down. Swinging the legs in with momentum: steady in, steady out.
Breathing
Exhale on the crunch, inhale lowering.
