is this Seated Russian Twist - How to Do the Golf Strength Exercise Seated Russian Twist as effective as one on an inclined bench?

 

[Pianomahnn]

You mean a decline bench?

edit: Looking at the mechanics of each, I'm fairly certain they work things a little differently. Not certain one can make an accurate apples to apples comparison on this.

As effective for what?

 

[danny81]

boxing and for rotational core work.

You will use more hip flexor on the decline bench by virtue of having your legs anchored. I prefer the non-anchored version.

oo. well i anchor them undr my bed. th reason i dont do decline is be ause i dont have a bench. so if i anchor them is that bad?

You will use your hips more with anchored legs/feet, which seems to run counter to what you are doing it for.
