How to do the 3/4 Sit-Up
- 1
Lie down on the floor and secure your feet. Your legs should be bent at the knees.
- 2
Place your hands behind or to the side of your head. You will begin with your back on the ground. This will be your starting position.
- 3
Flex your hips and spine to raise your torso toward your knees.
- 4
At the top of the contraction your torso should be perpendicular to the ground. Reverse the motion, going only ¾ of the way down.
- 5
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Log it, see it on your body.
Every 3/4 Sit-Up set you log feeds Ascend's anatomy heatmap — so your abs volume is visible at a glance — and counts toward your bodyweight-strength tier.
