Sit Up Bench Exercise- How To Make The Most Of It

By Sean Luna

To make your muscles strong and sharpen the abdomen, equipment is used, which is known as sit up bench. Weight bench contains erect holders at one end that holds weights and barbell. Bench is created in such a way that man can easily lay or sit on it. This bench can be adjusted in different directions.

There are many types of weight benches, some of them given here. Names of these benches are preacher curl weight bench, dumbbell weight bench, Olympic weight bench and abs weight bench.

The Preacher curl is applied to tone the biceps while keeping your arms stabilized during the complete workout. This type of weight lifting benches is usually applied with Olympic bars or standard curl bars and is comparatively small and easy to move. This is the reason preacher curl bencher is considered best for home gyms.

Olympic Weight Benches: Preacher Curl and Dumbbell Weight Benches does not support a bigger bar that's why they are not suitable for weightlifters. Unlike above two types Olympic weight benches can hold up larger rods. This is the only reason that they are frequently used in gyms and are perfect for weightlifters.

Abs Weight Bench: Abs sit up bench is used to tone abdomen. It provides the platform to do curl-ups. At one end of abs weight lifting benches foot grips are present and are adjustable according to their requirement

While purchasing weight bench, prefer the one which is comfortable and prop up heavy loads. If you are familiar with correct usage of regular standard weight lifting benches, you can build your muscles stronger and firmer with usual bodybuilding exercises. In order to perform exercises of different complexity level, adjust the Olympic weight bench in flat, incline and decline positions.

Carry out dumbbell and barbell bench presses via four sets of 8 to 12 reps, do it for 3 to 5 weeks after this move to 5 sets of 5 reps for some weeks for proper periodization. This whole process will be done by setting the sit up bench into flat position. Now switch the bench to decline position and use dumbbells for bench presses.

At initial stages use low volume approach e.g. 6 sets of 3 reps, then switch to less concentration and advanced reps and improved rate e.g. 4 sets of 15 reps, now again move towards the flat position and do the same thing again. Same procedure will be equally fine for other complex movements like db rows, bench rows, and shoulder presses. - 17273
