Jackknife (On Bench) Instructions
- Lay down on a flat bench with your legs hanging off one end.
- Extend your arms above your head and straighten your legs. This is the start of the exercise.
- In one motion, while keeping your hands and feet together, raise your legs and arms as if trying to touch them together.
- Lower back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.
Jackknife (On Bench) Tips
- For an added challenge, use slow and controlled motion. The slower you do it, the harder it is.
- Your legs should be approximately 35-45 degrees from the floor. Your arms should be extended and parallel to your legs at the top of the movement.
