The AbMat Sit-Up

2

There is an adjunct movement to GHD sit-ups in which the athlete is dynamic in the trunk and static in the hip. It is the AbMat sit-up, where we deliberately take the hip flexors out of the equation and work the torso dynamically. The two sit-ups, GHD and AbMat, complement each other beautifully. One is dynamic in the hips and static in the trunk; the other is dynamic in the trunk and static in the hip. In conjunction with the L-sit (static in the trunk and hip), they develop a formidable capacity in the midline.

22:43 (Pr by 20 seconds) Slower first mile than last time by about 15 seconds but my second mile was only about 5 seconds slower than the first today(7:59/8:04), and I think I made up some time on my sit-ups. Butterfly/abmat like last time.

Done 8/15 immediately after the 8/14 WOD. Those results there.


27:14 as RXd.


First mile was about 9 minutes...my lower back was tight after 8/14's WOD! Second mile was better around 8 minutes. The sit-up's were consistent, unanchored, feet slightly elevated against a wall.


Just checked my loop, each was 1.2 miles. Whoops.

Runs: 7:42, 7:26


Sit-up: -3:15, 3:05


Rest of time was transitions


Compare to 20:36 last time. However, my distance app was inaccurate that time, and I was running 0.9 miles instead. That would account for about a minute of time, so I was still a little slower today when adjusted.

SCORE: 34'16''

--

2 km run as warm-up.

Run times were 7'37'' and 7'32''. Not great, but in this heat, I'll take it.

Lost some time transitioning from runs to sit-ups, so actual time was probably close to 30 minutes.

Nice one 👍

For time:

200 sit-ups

Run 2 miles


INTENSITY SCALE
