Instructions

  1. Place the bench perpendicular to and below the pullup bar. Grasp the bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip with your arms fully extended and your legs hanging over the edge of the bench. This is your starting position.
  2. With your feet on one side of the bench, tighten your abs and use them to bring your knees up to the opposite side of the bench. Do the opposite movement to return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Do not allow the body to rock back and forth. Keep your torso as still and stable as possible.
  • Don't pull your legs up. Instead, contract your core muscles to generate movement.
  • Your spine should remain flat and neutral throughout the movement.
