The abdominal muscles, in addition to their main role – protecting the internal organs of a person, clearly demonstrate his physical condition. A tightened belly with the effect of “cubes” is not only an attractive appearance, but also an indicator of a reasonable attitude towards your body.

Bending on the press is an effective exercise that affects the rectus abdominis muscle, which is responsible for the coveted “cubes” of the press. This exercise is performed using the pull of the blocks.

Starting position: clasping the handle with a grip from below, kneel down. Straining the muscles of the press, pull the cable down. Bending down, try to touch your knees with your elbows.

An important clarification: all movements are performed solely by the abdominal muscles. Hands perform the only role – they hold the handle. They do not participate in the downward movement, being in an unchanged position during the exercise.

The exercise is performed in series of 15-20 repetitions. The number of approaches depends on the physical condition of the athlete. It is not recommended to take a rest break during one approach.
