Exercise Description

The decline weighted twist builds strong abs and obliques while improving core rotation power. It targets your entire midsection with added resistance for faster muscle growth.

How To

1. Lie on a decline bench with your feet secured and hold a weight plate against your chest. 2. Lean back until your torso is at a 45-degree angle to start your decline weighted twist. 3. Rotate your torso to the right, keeping the weight close to your chest throughout the movement. 4. Return to center, then rotate left to complete one full rep of the decline weighted twist. 5. Keep your core tight and move with control for 10-15 reps per set.

Form Tips

• Keep the weight pressed against your chest during the entire decline weighted twist movement • Move slowly and with control - don't use momentum to swing the weight around • Keep your feet firmly planted and don't let your hips shift during the decline weighted twist • Breathe out as you rotate and breathe in as you return to center

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight too soon, which breaks down form and reduces the effectiveness of decline weighted twist • Rotating too fast or using momentum instead of controlled muscle contraction during decline weighted twist • Letting the weight drift away from your chest, which puts stress on your lower back
