Conseils techniques
The key to performing the weighted overhead crunch effectively is to use slow and controlled movements. Avoid the common mistake of using momentum or swinging the weight, as this can lead to back or neck injuries. Instead, focus on contracting your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body towards your knees.
Choose a weight that is challenging but allows you to perform the exercise with correct form. Using a weight that is too heavy can lead to improper form and potential injury. It's better to start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as your strength improves.
Remember to breathe during the exercise.
