How to do it
- Adjust the seat and sit with the pads or handles at the top of your chest, feet hooked if there are rollers.
- Grip the handles lightly and sit tall.
- Curl your torso forward and down by contracting your abs.
- Return slowly without letting the weight stack touch down.
Watch out: Pulling with your arms or hip flexors instead of curling your abs.
