Instructions

  1. Grab the barbell with a shoulder-width overhand grip and stand with your knees slightly bent. Keep your core tight and erect. Lean forward, pulling your hips back slightly, preparing for a slight hip thrust.
  2. Push your hips forward to help you lift the bar and do the crunch. Use hip thrust to help you complete the rep, but don't rely on momentum alone to complete the movement. When your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, slowly lower the bar back to the starting position and repeat.

Tips

  • Don't allow your elbows to widen as you pull the weight toward your chest.
  • Do not allow your wrist to flex. They must remain in a fixed position throughout the exercise.
  • Keep your core tight throughout the exercise.
