decline bench??

[carlsuen]

so i was asking the manager at my gym why they didn't have declines, and his answer was "it's too dangerous" so he asks me what do i need them for, i said abs work of cuz.. and he says that the decline might cause u to pop a blood cell in your brain if u hold your breath too long.. omg.. i realy smacked myself on the fore head..

they only have the typical fixed bench and adjustable inclines one.. any creative ideas on how i can do my needsize abs without declines?

Use a swiss ball, You can go further like the decline and it also helps your core to stabalize youself on the ball

Throw a couple plates under one end of a flat bench - a little decline is better than no decline.

in my gym, the decline bench is adjustable but unfortunately it's not declined enough for my liking, either while doing decline bench itself or NS crunches. what i do is put those little aerobics stepper thingys (don't know the correct name for them) under the foot of the bench.
