Smith Machine Plate Sit Ups - Upper Abdominals Six Pack Abs Exercise Guide

Technique - Start by twisting the bar to remove it from the supports and lower it all the way down to the floor. Sit down on the floor and hook your feet underneath the center of the bar shoulder width apart. Slide back and position your legs so that their is a slight break in your knees. Grip the plate at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. Position the plate behind your head, sit tall and start the exercise when ready. Inhale as you lower your upper body back in a slow, controlled manner keeping your back straight allowing your abs to take the strain. Do not allow your back to touch the floor. Exhale as you sit back up into the starting position not using your feet to pull yourself up as this will remove pressure from the abs muscles and decrease the overall benefits of the exercise. Repeat this technique for the desired number of reps.
