Barbell 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 onto the floor and grip the barbell directly behind your head in a wide position. Raise your knees, feet and the barbell from the floor and start the exercise when you are ready. Exhale as pull your upper body forwards keeping your legs and the barbell balanced. Squeeze your abs muscles and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body back down in a slow, controlled manner again maintaining your balance and control over the barbell. 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.
