So I did a 3x20 of this last week and I still feel like I’ll die pretty soon

[LearningDaily]

This is easily one of my favourite abs exercises

[JBBBBRRRR]

I just completed the CF level II certificate course, and it was explained to me that the requirement to extend so far on the decline that you touch the ground was a games standard, and not ideal for achievement of the desired stimulus. Rather, the effective standard should be to reach just past parallel, just past neutral spine to slight extension. Is that not correct?

[tamarab]

I love doing those
I’ve been doing it daily since 14 to keep nice toned body
I am 22 now and still love finishing workout with this

I think a lot of people watch this video assume that she is bending her back. She is not. She is firing her legs such that she sits up. If you are bending your back as your do this then you are going to get injured from it. You must fire your legs. It's more of a leg workout than it is a "bending" exercise.

I do this 100 to 120 time a week in my warm up. No issues here and I am 72 years old male Crossfitter. Previously did it on a decline bench with weights now on a GHD. Does anyone know of someone that sheared their spine doing this. Maybe we should all be afraid of sitting up in bed!

[CoachAidenH]

Did 100 of these and my abs are sore AF

[danieldunstone]

I feel this is more of a compound using lots of legs to get up and a bit of abs

[Rakjkd]

Where can you purchase that machine from

[lemur]

No thanks! I'd like a functional spine in my later years

[SeanyMac]

literally the opposite of what the ghd is designed for....

[MrNick-]

Watching her jump up extremely fast like that looks painful, and dangerous. I think going slower would be safer and a harder workout
