Simple Ways to Do More Sit-Ups Review the Principles of Exercise Science. Before you begin your sit-up training workout, it’s helpful to understand the Perfect Your Technique. Before you start cranking out multiple reps, you need to make sure your sit-up form is perfect. Determine Your Baseline.
Perform your situps on an incline. Decline boards are ideal for this option, which reduces the strain on your upper body and makes it much easier to do a situp. Position yourself so that your legs.If your goal is to do more sit-ups, you’ll need to improve your overall core strength and endurance.
Consider using a variety of different abdominal exercises in the early weeks of your training to build good core strength and stability, which will make the specific sit-up exercise easier in the following weeks.start with the basic sit-up workout. Do your sit-up workout every other day (such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Warm up with a slow jog, cycling on a stationary bike, or jumping rope. Perform your basic workout with three sets of repetitions with a 30-second rest between each set.
Slowly bring your legs back to center. From center, lower your legs as far as they will go down to your right side. Hold for a second before returning to center. Use a bent leg if necessary to make the exercise more achievable, and work toward a straight leg as you progress.
Strengthening your abdominal muscles can help you to improve your situp technique and the amount of situps you are able to complete. You can strengthen these muscles through exercises that either focus on your stomach or include this area such as core stability work.As you get stronger, try a Pilates variation to this exercise: Instead of holding your hands behind your head or on your shoulders, keep your hands straight next to your torso and as you rise into the sit-up, glide the arms forward and then raise the arms at the same time as your torso and stretch them forwards.
Do 186 situps in 1 minute sets with a goal of 40–50 situps per minute. This should take you 4–5 sets done through your workout for four days straight. Days 9–10: You change the timed sets to.It’s easy to see the havoc that wreaks on the lower back, and it’s similar to what’s happening with most situps. While performing a slow and controlled situp can work fine to build one.
So the best way to do sit ups at home is to do crunches, and to do crunches, you will find that you have to basically do half sit ups. Confusing? Not to worry, all will be explained. And to do so, we will first take a look at how we would normally perform a sit up.
Perform five sets of weighted situps. Hold a dumbbell high on your chest, and select a weight that allows you to complete half as many situps as you did for your first set on your previous training day. Follow this with side bends for your obliques.
Hold a dumbbell in one hand while standing up with your back flat.These sit-up and crunch variations turn the classic move into something more interesting. Plus, you’ll find that many of these are a bit more difficult than the average sit-up, which means you’ll really carve that six pack.
Try this 10-minute workout featuring 10 sit-up variations, and your abs will feel the burn. 1.To perform a proper situp: Lie down on your back. Bend your legs and place feet firmly on the ground to stabilize your lower body.
Cross your hands to.Nice and slow. One, slow on the way down. Two, three, four.
All right. So that is the way to do a proper situp. Now guys, go out there, have a ball, knock some abs out and do your situps correctly.More. Report.

in the marines we wrap them under our chest, so would it still be the same thing?
Lol I saw his ad on yt then I found his channel a few weeks later��
If you read the army regs, your knees have to stay at 90 degrees the whole time damn near. If your legs are straight as you mentioned, they are not counted. It even says that if the knees exceed 90 degrees that they are not counted.
sit ups are accually great for your back…… if you listen to Sergeant. Real talk take it from a real man.
Didn’t know all I had to do was to just lock my feet I completed a set of 20 sit-ups just by locking my feet,before that I couldn’t even do 4 sit-ups in a set thanks man
Do a pushup program next that will increase your pushup score!
Dude does sit-up effortlessly. I can’t even get past a quarter up.
I do
700 1000 push ups
700 1000 sits ups
A day ��
All you need is david goggins
Thanks for your support!! Do you think Andy should be worried Tommy just called him out?
I had a baby 4 months ago and I really want my stomach flat again. I cant even do a sit up lol
Me: tries to follow the steps and do sit ups and falls right back into place like a potato �� I guess it’s about practice
I’m trying to lost even a bit of weight because I’m going to a girls house after quarantine
Do half the sit up…
Then do the other half…
Do it 4x…
Uhm…just do a whole situp. Lol
Wow, I was doing it the triangle way and could barely get 35 in 60 seconds even though my core is pretty strong. Now I’m doing almost 50. I appreciate it.
I just recently graduated boot camp & am heading back for ITB in a few days. I know that at ITB I might get the chance to try out for Recon but I’ve been thinking of trying out for Recon at a later time in my four year contract. My question is will I get the chance to try out later on? & if so, will I have to sign another 4 year contract? Hope you can get back to me, Thanks.
Doing sit ups like that kills my hip flexors and kills my run time��. Great video guys
Work when I’m not sore? It’ll take a little while and by then that work I did didn’t even matter
This time I’ll use Unflexal instructions to learn about workouts more:)
The push up technique should actually be based on which muscle is strongest, your chest or tri’s. If your chest is stronger go wider, if it’s weaker go closer. For the acft you are limited to a close stance, so if your chest is stronger turn your finger tips inward
I seem to have this problem where my hips lift off of the ground when I’m trying to do my sit ups. I know I have a weak core right now but is there something I’m doing wrong that would cause this? I feel like I could do so many more if I didn’t have this problem. What am I doing wrong? Lol
I’m getting lower back pain while doing push ups, what to do?
How do you even graduate with situps? I did situps exactly as explained and can only do 45 in a minute
You’re welcome! Make sure you check out my new channel! Coach Whittney K.
How come I can’t do sit ups for a test but when I’m at home I grab ramen and I can do sit ups EXPLAIN
Thanks very much Sgt! Been working your reps for push up and sit ups in preparation for gett my back in uniform
Hi nick, is there anyway I could email you and ask some questions
I’m trying to join the australian army so this will help me try and train for the fitness courses
Once I do this I feel the burns on my legs. Is it normal or what could be wrong
If the the test rule says elbows must reach the knees..then the cheat wont do if the legs are straight
Definitely helped me on my FA minor changes that make a huge difference
FYI, to anyone attending Ranger Assessment and Selection…be careful doing push ups in the manner that they show in this video. When I went through we were straight up told that ‘tricep pushups’ would not count.
Just got a 240 on my pt test at rsp, and I haven’t been to basic yet. Would have gotten higher but I got a 60% on sit ups. Gonna start doing this! Thanks!
Here is a lesson about the importance of “specificity of training”. I have been a power-builder for about 5 years now and I am squatting and deadlifting above the 400s and rack pulling 635lb, I can only do 25 push ups in a row and 12 sit ups before gassing out and cramping up. This is because I have not done sit ups and push ups since high school (a decade ago) and my body is not used to them at all. Since I finally decided to join the army a week ago, I’ve been improving on all fronts. My point is gym strength does not translate into endurance movements like push-ups, sit-ups and mile runs. Which is fucked up and so unfair.
I’ve always wanted to be in the army since I was in 3rd grade and now I’m a freshmen in high school but my mom will never let me join. Do you think there is anyway I can talk to her about it? Btw I love your videos they’re great
Sit ups kill my tailbone. Only thing I’m worried about for cross training…
I cam to this because I’m tired of being called idiot for not even able to do one sit up
Oh mah god this helped me a lot this improved me for pe in middle school than you ����
Now the real question. How to we keep our ass from getting rubbed raw after sit ups
Does this work? I need to do 37 in one minute to pass a power test.
https://www.thetrainingstationinc.com/workouts/Legendary%20Abs%20Revisited.pdf
you know your out of shape when your out of breath from doing jumping jacks
I guess every branch is different. Coast Guard sit-ups = fingers/hands cupped beside ears. No interlocking behind the head.
nice MRE reference: “a rock or something.” You thought you could sneak that in.
Is not really a cheat for the military there is a workout for strengthening your body and one to pass the test. For the first option, there is a ton of information available while the latter is more focus on energy and efficiency. The military does not give a damn how much a proper position push up or sit-ups you do as long you meet the required position. Is better to create a push-up and sit up routine for the test that focuses on numbers since that is how everyone is graded.
At drill sergeant school I wasn’t allowed to use the sit up cheat… Just letting you know lol
Hi, can you please make a new video about braces routine after 1 year… btw your videos are so cool!!! ��
My Low Abdominal is so pain when I laugh or moving after I did 30+ sit ups
You dont have to come all the way up for a sit up do you i thoughts it was your head a few inches of the ground until you feel the contration
Thank you so much. I knew tue pushup thing but I never could figure the best way to do situps
i can already do around 158/160. I just need to do more, I’m in NJROTC drill team and i am currently the best for sit-ups in my team. My goal is to be able to reach the 300 area.
Greetings, thanks for the tips!!, It worked really well for me, no more pain and strange postures, thank you again!
Situps are an inferior exercise never got good activation with it
I find it hard to do inhale/exhale while doing sits up.. Is it okay to continuously doing sit ups in 1 breath? I mean im doing 10 sit ups per reps.. I can atleast do 5 sit ups in 1 go
your guys vids on recon are awesome! nobody else is doing that on YouTube besides nick koumalatsos rn
my question is if you could go over maybe your take on deciding between RECON or MARSOC as a Marine lat mover in terms of mission profile/ what they’re doing these days etc
I commented on the “how to increase your push-ups” and now I will comment on this. I will do this for a month straight until I leave for Basic Training. I get around 50 sit-ups right now so I will update in a month.
Hello Howcast, if you are here, I have multiple questions, please answer the question numbers in the order and please reply them in my email at [email protected] gmail.com
1. Should I do the 2 types of half sit ups before or after the normal sit-ups?
2. For example, if right now, I can do 20 sit-ups without stopping, how many days would it take for me to do 80 sit-ups?
3. Can i do sit-ups on the concrete, if not, on what ground material I should do sit-ups on?
4. About holding feet, does it work on any holding feet, or it must be someone holding my feet for 400% increase sit-up to work?
5. Could I do the upper half first, then the lower half?
6. Will it work very well if I do it 10 sets?
If you need any information about me in order to answer my question, I am a boy, 14 years old, plays basketball, allergic to gluten and lactose, and if you need any more information, feel free to ask me.
Thank you so much about the video you made, I am interested in it. You are the best workout teacher I am ever seen. I cannot find one workout teacher better than you.
In air Force on situps do a crunch not a sit up and touch your elbows low on your thighs.
thx for u video,hope this video can help me hv good PTI in my NS
Hey I appreciate the video but could you make like a whole workout routine for a week I just did the push up exercise should I do this one right after..?could you make a day by day workout routine to get in shape for basic I leave soon
he hasnt got a clue in any of his training clips
firstly you never lock your hands behined your head for any kind of sit-up (its just not done)
secondly hes contradicting himself by saying to add weight to the excersise as the weigh would
only make the ab area stronger, not what your after what you actually want to do is add endurance and
be able to do a high number of reps
nothing fancy needed (any decent military guy will know this) do your maximum (say 10 reps +1 to fail)
next session (3 per week is ideal) 12 reps +1 to fail and so-on, addind 2 to 3 reps per session
you should easely be able to add atleast 6-8 reps over a week, thats 24 to 32 over a month
thats ontop of your starting reps (but 10 should be an easy start point)
and thats allowing 12 weeks before any start on training (if your talking military) so work out the maths
you should be able to exceed any of your goals with the above method
also if you really want to make this excersise harder (i mean if you can push-out a 100 quite easly)
send the little girl home, and do the excersise with your feet flat on the floor (not weighted at all)
and then do the excersise without your feet comeing off the floor
It’s true I started last week when I was 48 kgs and now I am 37kgs
Ty for the tip, im searching for tips because I might do this test to join the brazilian air force. I was doing it wrong, maybe that’s the reason i strugle so much to do sit ups. The sit up is a little bit different, we have to go all the way up and touch our ewbows in the distal third of upper leg(near the knee).
I’ve been doing 3 sets of 2 min planks and 2 sets of 3 to 5 min of non stop flutters plus hanging from a pullup bar and doing leg raises until failer for about 3 sets.
I do this every other day until basic. And the key is when you get used to a routine, increase the intensity.
I Wanna knw how to easily do it without dumbbells but I can’t ��
another really good ab workout for anybody interested is legendary abs
My chest is gassed and I’m sore as hell all over so time to take a pt test at 0400, yay
I can do 65 in 2 minutes and feel like I could bang out another 25 or so but don’t have the time. It takes me a little under 2 seconds to do 1 rep:(
Hey matt love your videos ��just wanted to know if you had like any breathing techniques when your doing these exercises if that makes any sense??
If I Was ever in Combat I would want you as my platoon leader
I use ankle weights to keep me down while I practice my sit-ups:)
I would say not to have your hands behind your head when doing sit-ups or a motion like this. Keep your arms across your chest with your hands on your shoulder but not squeezing your shoulder or grabbing your shirt
I did three years with the 10th SFG and can tell you that I never thought of or heard of any one cheating on the pt test it would just be so wrong
I wish i could get away with doing a sit up without my head touching the floor.:/
I use my Xbone, it shares many characteristics with a cinder block
Thank you! Waiting for age waiver and planning on shipping in january. Been training 4 months now. 36 but I’m hoping to get special forces. Any advise sir?
I have never seen a man push another man with his elbows in.
THANKS! I rlly needed dis cuz my fat ass can’t do ONE AHHHHZHGGGGGH
ANGERY
So if I’m doing 92 sit-ups in 2 minutes…does that mean I have to do 276 sit-ups a day?..
I use the sit up bench that holds you by your shins, sadly i can only use it for declines. So all of my sit up exercises are on a 5 degree decline and it kills me
Am I the only one that tends to slide back when doing sit-ups? I constantly feel like I have to readjust myself after like 30 sit-ups or so.
The 3rd example works, is one of the best to gain a six-pack
Need help guys, I started doing sit-ups and can do 25. Next few days my stomach hurt when doing sit-ups again. Like I CANT do anymore and feel pain. Is this normal?
That a good exercise I do that every morning with 50 counts
Who’s watching in quarantine and been eating too much but don’t wanna look like jabba the hut for summer ����
The people who looks for PT cheats you’re a floppy weakling.
Hi Vince! I answered the free survey and yes I am that “skinny guy who just cant grow.” I also watched the video but I dont have the capabilities and privileges to avail the programs offered, but, I will definitely follow those 3 simple steps you’ve mentioned and now, I am on my way to be “the healthiest, leanest, and best” version of myself. Thank you Vince.
Just wonderful, I have been researching “youtube sit ups” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Bondraw Firm Ferriferous (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
Ohhh yes hold the feet while doing the push up um the fuck did you just say guy
Also, if you don’t mind answering this, Matt. Do you recommend I do this before or after my two miles worth of 6120’s???
2:20 “When we hold the feet for the push-ups…”
If there is anyone holding my feet during push-ups, it will b e a donkey kick to the face.
Can you bring your phone with me while going to basic training?
I followed the parameters from this program for push-ups and sit ups. I increased my push-ups by 66% and sit-ups by 27%. Day 1 push-ups (PU) were 60/ Day 14 100 PU. Day 1 sit-ups 52 (SU)/ Day 14 66 SU.
I would recommend this program if you have a PT test within 2 weeks and you are coming off the couch to throw a hail marry and pass the test.
I will do this program again in the future. Highly recommend.
Question in apft if that person do over maxium pushups and sit ups is it wast of engry
Hey, im new to your videos, just wondering, are you currently active in the army?
Hey I have a question… I’m leaving for recruit training soon and heard at SOI you can volunteer to go to BRC.. I was wondering if you had any experience with that or knowledge of it. Thanks and keep posting the fire vids
Excuse me, how can I do that without using dumbbells to lock my feet..
I dont fucking know why the hell army does the hands behind head thats so bad for youre neck
Wow this was actually reallt helpful, thankyou because I have to do around 100 situps for mma (allowed to do crunches) but I wanted to up my situp game haha
I have a question. Whenever I do sit up, my stomach starts to get cramps. Why is that?
Holding your hands behind your head like that is NOT a good idea unless you want to do neck crunches, and no one wants to do that. Put your hands to your temples when you do the sit up and keep your neck straight unless you want arthritis in it when you get older.
You are giving my trade secret away on the situps…nobody has a measuring tool for 90 degrees….especially wearing some baggy pt pants ��.
Can someone tell me why I can do 55-60 sit-ups in only a minute but can only do like 20 pushups in a minute
Don’t ever do that you’ll injure your neck soon, don’t push neck but use hands beside your ears try to push with mid body,don’t push neck with hands.
Though a late comment, since this is a pretty old video…the information is a bit incorrect. Your abdominal muscles are all the same muscle group, you cannot work them in halves. Similarly why leg raises are a waste of time unless your aim is to work your hip flexors.
When you do a sit up, regardless of whether you start from top and go half down, or bottom and go half up, you are placing tension, albeit a small amount, on your abdominal muscles as a whole.
Also, if at the end of the repition your spine is not curved, like a C, roughly, you are not placing enough tension on your abdominal muscles to result in much if any muscle or core strength building at all.
He never mentions how much rest between sets. Does anyone now? or is it straight just 30 seconds in between?
I’m able to do about 100 sit-ups before getting tired or wanting to stop but it would be cool to increase that
This ask for money to women says his widow asks tuner cards he puts his name as Jorge ward
When i do situps my right ribs start hurting what does that help plz
Honestly this video is gonna be more in the back catalog for the time being. Somehow even though I have a semi-serious gut to trim sit-ups are the one exercise that gives me next to no problems so long as something is holding me feet flat to the floor.
I’ll try it this way…because my lower back hurts each time I do sit ups.
Woww!! Your tips are amazing every time I would do sit ups I would only max 24 cause I would get stuck and the bottom..I’m practicing on the half way sit ups:)❤️
I’m 15 never really thought of being in the military but this video was really informative on sit-ups. Thanks!
Started this workout tonight, and instead of a set amount of reps, I’m just seeing how much of each of em I can do in one minute and tracking that for the meantime. Let’s get it!!! I want to be as prepared as possible for basic:’)
Imo sit ups suck the worst haha. Push ups are easy for me and I gotten better at running. I can do sit ups but jeez they suck
He mentioned P90X. I did that program for only one month and my PT score was the highest I’ve ever Had. This ab workout is awesome! But if you’re the type of person who has issue with motivation alone, P90x is a great way to workout because you have someone telling you what to do. In my personal opinion.
Hey Matt, just wanted to say thank you sooooo much for making all these videos. They’ve helped, inspired, and guided me while I’ve been learning about the Army. Once again, Thank You.
Great! Clear explanation and easy to understand. Thanksss ��
Your intro music never seizes to scare the crap out of me at full volume
Just did this yesterday along with the max out push ups video,really feeling today
OMG! This is really difficult one. First, I could only do this when my arms are free. When I locked my feet l only managed to tdo it with stretched arms. I still can’t make it with arms behind the head. Thanks for the tips
When I was in, i just used my hip flexers when I worked my core until exhaustion. It does wonders.
Thanks man I’m subbed I wanted to know to do a situp and u taught me my waist/legs are near perfect I just need to work on my stomach it needs help currently a medium shirt and 29×30 waist skinny Jean’s I’m trying to fit into a small shirt and 28×30 skinny Jean’s they almost close…almost I’m gonna do 10 sets of 30 situps 300 situps every week and see where that gets me I did a week of it so far and that’s how I got into a medium shirt wish me luck…V-Shred I’m not trying to get a six pack just trying to get skinny/small
Hey Matt, I just wanted to say! Amazing work!!! Thank you so much. I’ve got a good core, but this will improve myself a lot! When I go into the Army, I wish you would be my platoon leader.
When I run I get this feeling on my feet than feel like they are bleeding but they are not and I feel like my run time is effected by this how would o fix this?
Thats does work i did it before i joined the marine corps i had less than two weeks went from 72 to 105
Jocko has better abs than you! Prager told me that when they compeard abs at Mr Olympia last year.
Watch ENLISTED GHOST sit up video. He’s in infantry. Watch all his videos. Definitely watch his sit ups video tho. He’s a beast
Man I couldn’t walk the first time I followed this a week ago ( those hip flexes). Let’s see how we do after today
What is the minimum amount of sits ups can you do to pass the APFT?
What is planking, as done instead of sit-ups?
Anyone,
Please.
Can you show me how to cheat on the 5 mile cause that shit killed me
First of all…. they don’t have to shave.
Double standard like crazy!
so does this work? I’ve been doing BMF bootcamp for the last 2 weeks,, I can do lots of crunches but struggle going from crunch to full sit ups. so hoping this will help with form
Why does my back hurt after doing regular sit-ups? I’m i just doing sit ups wrong??
Sit ups. One of the best way to mess up your back and if you’re one of those people who are pulling on their neck/cervical spine good luck.
I tried this and oh I felt the burn. Thanks for the tips, i feel like i can do a lot of sit ups but my lower back gets tired fast. Thanks again!

Don’t let the VA or Army see this video they’ll strike it down for connecting neck and back pain to the PT test. You know they can’t have that
Thanks i will try that. I need to do minimum 50 sit ups under 1 min for bmt and I can do only 25 right now. Leaving sept 6th.
the more sit ups you can do without someone holding your feet the more you can do with someone holding your feet. and breathe out with each rep.. you will beast
Had an E5 spot me for a sit-up for the first sit up he had his head too close to me and I head butted him
This helped A LOT. Was doing the triangle. No wonder my bladder felt like tearing.
Marines dont do pushups, and we have a much different way we are required to do crunches
My son is struggling to get his numbers. His PFT (Coast Guard) is in just a few weeks and he is so frustrated with his sit ups. I cannot wait to show him this when he gets out of school. Thank you.
Hey man, good video. But I have a question.
I am a TOTAL beginner here. I have done stuff like kickboxing, including a bunch of endurance and muscle training in the past, of course not focused on building bulky muscles as mobility was the prime focus. But I have not really done sports in a bit over 3 years now. I am starting again by doing a daily workout at home, because I have been getting into bouldering but noticed my endurance is shit compared to 3 years ago.
Now my question is this. Without any support, right now I cannot do a full situp. I never thought about locking my feet in place. Now that I locked my feet, I can manage a full situp without much issue at all. But honestly, it feels like my legs are doing the work compared to my abs.
So the thing is, how do I know I am even training my abs properly here? It feels like I am merely lifting my body up into the sitting position via a lever mechanism through the legs. Is it ok if I feel all the weight on my legs rather then my abs? Because now I am unsure if I should lock my feet in place or not, or what to do against that feeling that my legs are being trained rather than my abs.
When it comes to pure position, I believe what I am doing looks like what you are doing in the video. Not moving the relative positions of my body at all and simply lifting my torso into a upright sitting position.
He didn’t say navy lol branches hate on the navy so much because there the best
don’t link fingers behind head, bad for the neck, rather have finger tips by the temples or over the chest..
Police agility test requires applicants to go all the way down and bring the elbows to the knees.
I would just stand on his shoes, more weight on the feet to hold it down better. Just saying
For anyone joining the navy. I reccommend you dont learn the full let go shit when your on the upper position your PO is going to show you the miracles of DOLLAR curl ups which is basically mid curl up 0.25 % curl up and 0.75% curl up.
Got 52 sit up on last apft, maxed my 2 mile and push up…. 53 is passing for sit-ups��
I failed sit up today and am doing it again tomorrow hope this helps… Help me Lord
Everyone in the comments is missing the point, the real way to cheat is by wearing the pt belt. This will maximize your strength and allow you to pass your pt test. Observe
I was more interested in how to work up to a situp if you cant do one yet… but he is soooooooooo hotttttttttt �� �� �� so i watched anyway XD
Ah. I was doing the opposite on the situps. I thought having your butt closer to your heals was better. Thanks for the tip. I have a month to get my situps up to par for the PAST test. Thanks guys!
Tip that worked for me!
if you can do sit ups without someone holding your feet is gonna be easier than when someone does. So like me i can do 70 without holding my feet and 160 holding them.
0:17 “Doesn’t matter what branch of service you’re in…” Why didn’t you mention the Navy?
When i do them, i put weigths or whatever is heavy enough to block my feet but then I feel like I use mt legs more than my abs to get up
Quarantine made me watch this for no reason I’d probably be 60009 pounds next month
So it’s nothing like in bodybuilding wear a wide grip focuses on the primary muscle being the chest and a close-grip focuses on the tricep?
They say don’t do it faster…but when it comes to agility test, it should be preformed under certain given time
I find doing push-ups easier than doing sit-ups. Why is this?
Thanks for the video. I completes 45 situps, ran my 1.5 mile run, then restarted the situps and did 50 on the next set! Thanks for the tips!
Want more sit-ups for the APFT? Slam back and use those elbows coming up.
idk about army but a proper usaf situp is arms crossed touching shoulders
I failed sit up today and am doing it again tomorrow hope this helps… Help me Lord
Ok so you are aloud to take a break xD every time lately I couldn’t get my best number, because my partners are yelling don’t stop even though I’ve reached muscle failure. I still do pretty well, but it would be higher if I strategically rested
For a second it looked like he was sniffing cocaine in the thumbnail.
Tommy tinnitus is the beast! Tommy tinnitus once went to put and the Pt was over when he showed up! I would like to meet that guy Tommy tinnitus was fighting with saltan Ibrahimovic about who is more loyal and who has more ego. Hahahah just some love Tommy don’t get offended not a hater cause I am not fucking off haha
Ain’t gonna lie, I’m worried about situps just because good Lord they hurt my ass bone. After about 25-30, it’s becoming difficult to block out the pain.
Old Green Beret sayings: 1. If you aint cheatin, you aint tryin. If you get caught, you weren’t trying hard enough. 2. Deny everything, admit nothing, and make counter-accusations!
Yeah this is pretty killer with no breaks damn lol had to skip the V UPS just cause i roasted my self with the initial stuff. Definitely will keep trying this along with your push up routine and see how far I can get off body weight manipulation with some weights. I will admit my diet is pretty bad it is conducive to bulking but my protein I feel is still low.
i was only able to get 40 sit ups in 2 minutes…. Do you think i can reach the 53 needed to past within a month doing this routine? Like will it be enough time
Thanks for your video Sr. It really helped me to increase my reps it worked for me at the next day I was able to do 5 more sit ups. Thanks again Sir.
Your videos always come out at the perfect time when I’m looking to improve something. Thanks
anyone got advice for me. every time i do a situp my cheekbone hurts what do i do
I think I’m doing them wrong because I followed all the tips but I only feel it in my back and not in my abs, idk what I’m doing wrong
I don’t know why people are saying they can’t do one,I can do them easily
The things that Boku No Hero Academia inspires you to practice.
I’m actually contemplating on cleaning up a beach.
normal normal normal repetishshsdhdhszzzzzsdjyjyyyy normal continues
Umm. This was thought to me when I was 10 in middle school….
It’s not easy doing a sit up when you have a plumpy stomach ����
Thanks for the tip about getting my push-ups up I want to big U.S. Navy seal so that should help me
Your legs were bent in 30 degrees. Is there a standard to it?
I’ve always been able to do sit ups very well. But after my pregnancy my core has been completely destroyed. APFT in 1 week. �� wish me luck…
I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and I swore in at MEPS for the Marine Corps on Monday. The liaison for the USMC made me and the other guy do situps and pullups before having us come back for the interview/drilling and I was only able to do 29 situps. I knock the pullups out of the park but I knew before i got there that I was extremely weak when it came to situps. I tried like hell several times but couldn’t get all the way back up, and he finally just stopped the clock. It’s now Sunday, almost a week later, and I still feel it in my stomach. It doesn’t hurt but it’s like, weak or something. All that to say I really appreciate this video and know I have a lot of work to do on this area before I ship out. I’m confident in my progress in every other area of PT but I suck at situps lol so thank you.
Word of warning do not put your hands behind your head when doing sit ups you can strain your neck pretty bad. Best way of doing them is hands across your chest and then do the sit ups that way it prevents neck injury. I learnt that from my pti in the British Army.
ive got the middle aged spread going way before the vrus lockdown talk about being out of shape its not bad but im still out of shape this will help
You chair force peeps got it easy. Army has to go all the way up
Anyone else get friction burn on their tailbone when doing situps?
I have to do some days on and some days off because the top of my ass hurts when I sit down
I knowww we’re supposed to have our pt belt when doing pt!!!
Hey guy, really appreciate the tips on this. This is awesome!
Outstanding SGT. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise for ALL to benefit. WHOA!!
i was out after ” it’s best to have someone holding your feet” i’m alone dude:(
Oh no he has a sender block fetish. I thought you would be a fire brick kind of guy. Lol
Ok yea I was kidding.
Great video hadn’t thought of the two part situp good advise. Keep em coming.SIR
I know, heavy on the SIR.SIR
The regulation states legs must be at a 90 degree angle during the APFT. So yes that’s a cheat and if your grader does what he or she is supposed to do that repetition will not count. The other cheat would be to not go all the way down or all the way up during the pushup to be able to knock out more pushups.
I needed to see this tutorial! Thanks you! I’m having trouble with my sit ups is in this tutorial it turns out I have the wrong posture. I do my situps in the triangle stance all the time ��
I did 60 sits up (in one go before I got tired) after years of not doing any type of exercise since high-school. Two days after and I still feel the pain ��
im guilty of resting at the bottom so i wanted to see what is the proper way to do sit ups
I’m here at the gym killing my self watching this video ������
I love how after I just failed my pt test this appeared in my recommended
They must’ve seen this video over here in Britain, they make it impossible for you to cheat
i don’t think they need to cheat the test. all of them probably crush a 300 pt score normally.
Can you guys take a look at the Armstrong pull up program and congrats on the big 750 subs.
What’s the minimum for a 19 year old girl? Sit-ups and push-ups
Keep the elbows tight and springboard it, got 90 repetitions in basic and upped it since. Not sure how the ACFT gonna go��
I was just watching YouTube nonsense when I found this channel and I am so glad about it. Even though I am not from the USA those training tips are so helpful. In 3 months I am gonna start my service, just getting into beast mode before ^^
Greetings from Germany
Am I crazy or are his forearms and calves super, super small? Like, at first I thought it was a visual trick, but I think he may have literally skipped some leg days or something.
For my situps my back tends to straighten out and I’ll be stuck in the bottom position an I have to use my lower back to lift myself up. I have to have a rounded back to complete and pass my pt test. My situps are the part that concerns me the most.
How? Elaborate on that. How are you supposed to straighten your legs?
I suck at situps and every time I ask someone in my unit to help me improve no one knows what exercise to do.this helps so much Thanks
@V Shred I find that when I use the correct form, although i do find it harder to do the sit up, I don’t feel the burn as early on. Am I doing it right? Also are you meant to feel a stretching-type “pain”/burn in your sort of sode/back when doing it or am I doing it wrong?
I’m 16, 5 ft 10 how many reps should I do in a set do you or anyone else reckon?
I’m fat, like real fat. I’m struggling to do one. He done like 50 with ease. Help me bro…..
Thanks for the tips! Hopefully this will help prepare me for basic training
Wow i never knew the best way to do it. I was actually doing the first half the whole time. Only now i need to get rid of the beer gut.
You are not supposed to bend your neck when sitting up. Which is a mistake he made. Unless you are allowed to do that in the military.
Pushups are about to change if im not mistaken. Chest to floor and break hand contact with ground, then up again and repeat.
Thank you so much Matt. Your advice has helped me go from struggling to get 55 pushups and 70 sit ups to 80 pushups and over 80sit ups. I have now got a 300 or score twice in AIT and will be graduating with the ARMY Achievement award. Thank you so much! GREATNESS!!
What if my feet holder and I broke up, and my feet holder refuses to hold my feet? What other feet holders are available?
Am I the only one who couldn’t stop looking at his shoes? ��
This isn’t a video on how to cheat, this is a video on how to do the exercises fucking correctly
People complaining there’s no one to hold their feet. I think you need more brain muscle before you can do more sit ups or even think of joining the Army.
How do I prevent having upper butt pain whenever I do sit ups?
is it possible to like move ur self with ur legs? cuz i think im doing it wrong cuz i think im using my legs
I’m going to try this method. I’m 42, at 38, the most situps I did for an APFT was 81. Now, just 4 years later, I’m only doing around 55. Just doing the standard all the way up just isn’t working. I’m doing these now for a few weeks. Then do as many full situps as I can to see if it works.
Awesome video! Taking my police exam this Week and this video has helped so much! Thank you
Does airforce not have to but hands behind their head or was that jus for the demonstration?
Great vid, looking out to doing more sit-ups tonight. Thanks
When i do my legs get more of a burn and it pisses me off lole
This is the best sit-up advice I’ve heard so far. Always had my ankles together, what a difference!
This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about “right sit ups” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Bondraw Firm Ferriferous (do a google search )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got excellent results with it.
Except they always force me into a fetal position on the situp so it’s tighter than 90 before I even sit up. I hate that… my calves are against my thighs at the top. Could do so much more if straighter for sure. Depends on the grader.
I do around 32 in one minute, i want to do 42 in one minute.
@V shred when doing a set up are ur thighs supposed to burn cause when they do then my belly stops burning
These aren’t cheats in the Australian army if you don’t do this in the fitness test to join you will fail
Anyone got any tips on how to do 85 in 2 mins? Been maxing out at 65/70:(
You can learn more about workouts on Unflexal. Awesome solutions for health and bodybuilders I think.
Maxed the sit up event for 29 years and over 100+ tests. Prep consisted of 3 sets of 30 situps on 45 degree incline board with bent knees, 30 to 60 seconds rest between sets. Using elbows & shoulders to create momentum is on point. There is also the aspect of contracting your back to maintain speed to max an create momentum with a bit of bounce off bottom.
I can do 300 situps in a row with 45 pound plate so if this works…
Does the instructor allow you to do sit ups just the way you’re showing us? In another meaning, does he care if you close your knees or open them while performing sit ups?
I notice I naturally straighten my legs throughout the situp exercise. It goes from Abs to Hip flexors naturally that way.
Thank you for your help! I love your videos and always binge watch. ☺
I have 50 in 2 minutes and I’m working on being faster. I don’t rest but I still can’t get to 60 which is about what I need to go to basic. I’m hopeing at basic I will improve a lot
I max my pushups in 38 seconds and run a 15:15 I always struggle with my sit-ups because of my hip flexors I can’t wait to try these thanks so much for this GOOD information!!!
I feel a little aroused after doing core exercises and I feel ashamed sometimes like I want more.. I know masturbation is a sin
Is it normal to have my back so bent (and hurt) when doing situps and crunches? I keep feeling like I’m doing it wrong.
I can do sit ups easy, but my lower back is the first to hurt which keeps me from continuing. What should I train to combat this?
Realizing it is quite difficult to do the upper workout without your feet being held…pretty much impossible to do with good form
I got 300 last run first time basic training blood sweat an tears. ft Jackson 2007 age 18. 1236 on the 2 mile run
In two weeks I’ll update how it goes for pushups and sit ups.
about to rock your world. having your feet down makes it a hundred times harder. when your feet are flat your hip flexer is disengaged meaning all the work is in your upper core. point your toes up and youll notice a world of difference. I would practice with feet flat for extra resistance, then when test time comes point them toeies up and max out
During the sit up event, the legs may not exceed a 90 degree angle. If the legs exceed 90 degrees at anytime the repetition will not count.
Would love to see some ocean swim tips! I’m told in BRC ocean swims will be very common. Tips on breaking the surf while on zodiac would be a great help, but I understand if it can’t be done since using a zodiac in a vid would be very hard
I need to do 70 situps next week and i can do only 28 now so i hope this will help
