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

Technique - Start by setting the weight bench to a flat position and place a barbell onto the floor. Sit down in between the weight bench and the barbell and lay back placing the balls of your feet onto the weight bench with your legs in a L-shape position. Grip the barbell evenly behind your head with your hands in a wide position for stability. Raise the barbell from the floor to start the exercise. Exhale as you crunch your upper body forwards keeping your lower back on the floor and your legs strong and solid. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body back down in a slow, controlled manner not allowing 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. Repeat this technique for the desired number of reps.
