Exercise Shorts: Incline Sit-ups

Exercise Shorts: Incline Sit-ups
-
When it comes to abdominal training, body posture and joint angles play a major role in the muscles that are specifically biased. For those of you with a longer torso and shorter femurs, this is likely a superior abdominal exercise over my Toes to Bar whereas for me, this is a great Psoas (Hip Flexor) movement
-
In either case, you begin at the top with arms overhead. For progressive overload, you can hold up a plate or other implement
-
DON’T just drop back, uncurl your spine to extend and keep your arms over your head as you go down ending with them fully extended to stretch the tissues along your front side
-
To execute the concentric, raise your arms to perpendicular with the ground over your face, then CURL (flex) the spine to engage the abs. Say you go up, dorsiflex your feet to engage your psoas and sartorius muscles finishing with peak contraction at the top with the hip flexors
-
The arms overhead aspect adds a lateral stability component so you get isometric oblique contraction as well
-
Adjust the incline to scale the movement and I don’t recommend loading until you can do at least sets of 15-20 unloaded
