Plate Raised Knee Crunches - Abs ( Abdominals ) Exercise for Building Muscle Mass - Six Pack Abs

Technique - Start by bending your knees keeping your back straight when picking up the plate weight. Grip the plate weight so that you can hold it flat and secure to your chest throughout the exercise. Sit down on the floor and lay back. Raise your feet from the floor keeping your knees together and start the exercise once you have found your balance. Exhale as you raise your upper body upwards whilst maintaining your balance. Squeeze your abs muscles in at the top of the motion and hold this position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your upper body back towards the floor in a slow, controlled manner again whilst maintaining your balance and control. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count 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.
