Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Flat Bench Twisting Sit-up.
The Incline Twisting Sit-up (version 2) is an abdominal exercise performed on a declined bench that combines a full sit-up with a rotational twist at the top. The incline position increases the range of motion and load on the abs, while the rotation targets the obliques.
The Flat Bench Twisting Sit-up is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
