ABS

Decline Reverse Crunch

BeginnerBodyweight

A reverse crunch performed on a decline bench to bias the lower abs. The downward angle adds resistance the standard version doesn't have, so it hits harder and builds more strength through the lower belly. A good choice when regular reverse crunches have stopped being a challenge.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie back on a decline bench and grip the top of it above your head, feet toward the low end.

  2. 2

    Tilt your hips slightly up so your lower back settles flat against the bench.

  3. 3

    Breathe into your stomach and brace your abs to keep your lower back down.

  4. 4

    Keep your ankles at 90 degrees and legs mostly straight with a soft knee bend as you raise them to vertical.

  5. 5

    With your legs up, curl your pelvis toward your ribcage to peel your lower back off the bench.

  6. 6

    Lower your legs back down under control to the start.
