Decline Weighted Russian-Twist

1. Secure your legs at the end of a decline bench and lie down with a weight plate grasped with both hands near your chest.

2. Begin with your torso declined, your arms positioned close to your chest, and holding the weight plate firmly.

3. Engage your core and raise your upper body towards your knees, while simultaneously twisting to one side, rotating your torso and the weight plate to that side.

4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement with your body twisted and your oblique muscles engaged.

5. Lower your torso back down to the starting position on the decline bench while untwisting to face forward again.

6. On the next repetition, twist to the opposite side to ensure an even workout on both sides of your obliques.

7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, alternating the twist on each sit-up.

It's important to perform the exercise with controlled movements to ensure safety and maximize the benefits of the exercise. Additionally, it may be beneficial to start with lighter weight to ensure proper form before progressing to heavier weight plates.
