Technique
How to perform Decline Bench Lying Leg Raise
- Lie with your head at the high end of the decline bench and your legs extending beyond the low end.
- Hold the handles or leg pads above your head to keep your body from sliding.
- Keep a slight bend in your knees and raise your legs toward your torso without changing that knee angle.
- Finish with a small pelvic curl that lifts your hips slightly from the bench.
- Lower your hips back onto the pad, then lower your legs under control without swinging.
- Keep your grip and torso position steady as you repeat.
