Russian Twist (Weighted)
The seated twist holding a plate or a dumbbell, feet off the floor if you can hold the position.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, leaned back ~45°, plate or bell in both hands, feet up if possible.
Steps
- Rotate the shoulders to one side, weight following.
- Back through the middle under control.
- Other side; the lean never changes.
Common mistakes
Weight swinging on arm momentum: the torso turns, arms carry. Slumping as the set burns: long spine or lighter weight. Feet slamming down: keep the hover honest or plant deliberately.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist.
