Adjust the decline bench to a comfortable angle, typically between 15 to 30 degrees.
Sit on the bench and secure your feet under the padded rollers.
Keep your movements controlled to maximize muscle engagement and avoid using momentum.
Focus on using your core muscles rather than pulling on your neck or head with your hands.
Do not pull on the head with your hands or flex the neck during the crunch.
Do not swing or use momentum to raise the torso.
Do not turn the movement into a full sit-up; keep a controlled crunch range.
Decline Crunch is an abdominal trunk-flexion exercise performed on a decline bench. The bench angle changes the loading of the rectus abdominis compared with a floor crunch.
