Decline Bench Abdominal Reach Tips
- This exercise is awesome for core strength. It's already challenging, but you can add extra intensity by holding a dumbbell in your hands and pausing for a count of 2 at the top of the exercise.
- Make sure you don't let your shoulder blades touch the bench throughout the set.
