How to do a GHD Situp

#ghd #abs #situp

The GHD Situp develops strength in the hips and core.

This exercise is a great way to build abdominal strength through a large range of motion.

Before you get started with the exercise, it's best to setup the GHD to fit your body.

Ultimately, you will adjust it to what works for you and your body.

As a general guideline, you will want your hips sitting just beyond the centerline of the hip pad while your legs are fully extended.

Additionally, you will want your ankles either at the same elevation as your hips, or slightly below.

One the machine is setup, it's time to setup the exercise.

Sit on top of the hip pad and slide your ankles into the ankle pads, and allow your legs to extend.

Create a neutral posture with a tall chest and shoulder blades slightly retracted. Your low back should not be flexed forward.

Take in a deep belly breath, and lower yourself by laying down backward while keeping your posture neutral.

Lower until your torso is in line with your hips and legs, pause briefly, and raise yourself back up.

Avoid bouncing at the bottom of the situp and contract your abdominal muscles to maintain a neutral posture throughout each repetition.

Perform 3-8 sets of 5-20 repetitions.

The GHD Situp is a great exercise for intermediate and advanced strength training programs.

A GHD (Glute Ham Developer) is a versatile tool for any serious gym.
