Barbell High Raised Knee Crunches - Abs ( Abdominals ) Exercise for Muscle Mass - Six Pack Abs

Technique - Start by placing the barbell onto the floor with a suitable amount of weight attached. Lay down on the floor in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Lay back and raise you knees of the floor keeping them in front of you. Reach back to grip the barbell parallel to your shoulders with your palms facing upwards. Remove the barbell from the floor and keep your arms straight and solid throughout the exercise. Exhale as you pull your upper body forwards until you feel your stomach muscles contract. Hold this position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body back down in a slow, controlled manner remaining in control of the barbell whilst maintaining balance and control. Do not allow the barbell to touch the floor before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise.
