Ever try weighted vests in addition to plates or dumbbells? Maybe good for decline.

Weighted Vests from Title Boxing

better yet, get a video of you doing a crunch with a 45lb plate on your chest. after seeing the pictures of you, i don't see how it is possible that you can lift a 45lb plate up, let alone put it on your chest and perform an abdominal sit up.

I do weighted crunches on a bosu ball - you get a great ROM from leaning back over the arch. I had the same problem once I needed more than a 25 lb plate - how the hell do you stack plates? And a 45 is just too unwieldy.

So I use a dumbbell on it's end and sit it on my upper chest. Lately, 3x8 with a 75lb dumbbell works pretty good. You may need to tuck your feet under a rack or even around the other dumbbell to steady yourself depending where your centre of gravity is.

Incline situp bench and a 45 for 30 is good stuff. I like the weighted ball at my gym too and the bouncy thing you can throw the ball at. It's a nice little shock to the core when the heavy ball comes back at you. I guess it's good? I don't know but I like it.

Put your belt through 2 45lbs plates and hang it around your neck. Do Roman chair sit-ups with your feet firmly stuck somewhere.

danny can't ask anything without being destroyed...



Hold a plate over your chest. To make it harder,out stretch your hands over your head and hold the plate there.
