How to perform it

Lie flat on your back on a mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Hold the barbell with an overhand grip, resting it on your chest. Engaging your abs, slowly lift your upper body off the ground, curling forward until your torso is at a 45-degree angle. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your upper body back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
