ABS

Decline Crunch

IntermediateBodyweight

A crunch performed head-down on a decline bench, which lets you drop further back than a flat surface allows. That extra range increases the stretch on the abs and boosts muscle activation.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Hook your legs at the top of a decline bench and lie back.

  2. 2

    Place your hands behind your head, keeping your lower back against the bench.

  3. 3

    Contract your abs to curl your lower ribs toward your belly button, tucking your chin slightly, until your upper back lifts off the bench.

  4. 4

    Lower your shoulders back down slowly, keeping tension in your abs.

  5. 5

    Raise only your shoulder blades rather than sitting all the way up.
