Sit-Up (Weighted)
The sit-up holding a plate at the chest or behind the head.
How to do it
Setup
Sit-up position, plate hugged at the chest or held behind the head.
Steps
- Curl up to vertical with the plate riding still.
- Control the roll back down.
- Keep the feet planted.
Common mistakes
Plate lunging forward for momentum: it stays glued to you. Behind-the-head grip pulling the neck: the plate rests on the hands, not the skull. Adding weight before clean reps: earn it.
Breathing
Exhale up, inhale down.
