Bench Ab V-Ups

Bench Ab V-Ups

How To:

Protocol: 20 reps

Difficulty: Beginner

Target Muscle(s): Lower Abs, Upper Abs

  • 1. Sit on a flat bench so that your body is positioned perpendicular to its length. Anchor your body with your butt at all times.
  • 2. Grab the back of the bench, drop your torso backwards, and extend your legs forward until your entire body is straight and parallel to the floor.
  • 3. Simultaneously pull in your lower abs and crunch your upper abs to form a “V” with your quads and stomach. Keep your abs tight, a straight back, and strong posture throughout.
  • 4. Repeat for 15-20 reps. Once this becomes too easy, increase the difficulty by holding a light weight in between your feet.
