Sit-Up (Bench)

Also called Decline Sit-Up

How to do it

Anchor your feet on a decline bench and lie back with the hands at the chest or across the temples. Curl the torso up through a full range until it is upright, leading with the ribs rather than yanking on the neck, then lower under control to the start. Hold a weight plate at the chest to progress.
