Exercise Description

The decline twist exercise builds core strength and targets your abs while hitting your obliques hard. It creates a strong, stable midsection that transfers to better athletic performance.

How To

1. Lie back on a decline bench with your feet secured at the top and hands behind your head. 2. Engage your core and lift your torso up while twisting your right elbow toward your left knee. 3. Lower back down with control to the starting position on the decline twist. 4. Repeat the movement, this time twisting your left elbow toward your right knee. 5. Continue alternating sides for your desired reps, keeping the decline twist movement smooth and controlled.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire decline twist movement to protect your lower back. • Move slowly and controlled - don't use momentum to swing up. • Focus on twisting from your core, not just moving your elbows around. • Keep your feet firmly planted and use the decline twist angle to increase the challenge.

Common Mistakes

• Pulling on your neck with your hands instead of using your core muscles during the decline twist. • Moving too fast and using momentum rather than controlled muscle engagement. • Not fully engaging your core before starting the decline twist movement.
