Exercises for the abdomen - bending on the upper block while kneeling

Bending on the upper block while kneeling – probably the only abdominal exercise in fitness and bodybuilding using a block device, focused on developing the abdominal muscles. Nevertheless, it is extremely useful and the effect it produces is simply amazing. Try it! In its work, it uses all parts of the abdominal muscles: and top, And average, And lower parts.

How to correctly perform Bends on the upper block?

1. Set the load that suits you on the block device.
2. Turn your face to the block (or your back). Get on your knees.
3. Hold the handle of the block with both hands behind your head (at the back of the head).
4. As you exhale, slowly bend your body using your abdominal muscles.
5. Make the most of all available amplitude. Try to reach the floor.
6. Fix at the point of maximum tension for two to three seconds.
7. Inhaling, return to the original position.
8. Leading bodybuilders do not recommend using heavy weights for this exercise; work with light weights in order to eliminate the help of your back and arms.

In conclusion, it is worth noting the interesting fact that, for example, such a static exercise as the “Plank” exercise, which perfectly works the abdominal muscles, is best included in the warm-up part of your workout. But in contrast to it, we are considering in this article, bending on the knees at the upper block is an excellent choice as the final exercise for the abdomen in the process of comprehensive training of the abdominal muscles.

In conclusion, a little interesting: I accidentally came across an interesting site on the Internet: sewing custom T-shirts for bodybuilders is an extremely necessary service for massive bodybuilders whose dimensions have long exceeded XXXL and those athletes who no longer fit into “ordinary T-shirts for mere mortals.” Now you can order a comfortable T-shirt tailored to your anthropometric data, and even with an exclusive individual print or embroidery. Great service! I recommend!
