I know this has been covered before, but I'm having some difficulty doing these. It just doesn't feel like my stomach is doing any work. I've tried leaning back all the way to the bench, i've tried leaning back about halfway down, and i've tried just slightly leaning back.
I am holding it for a slow 5 second count...one one thousand, two one thousand...and I've added weight. I'm using a 25lb plate right now.
I wasn't doing any ab work when I started these, so I fully expected soreness the next day, but I felt fine.
I do feel a strain in my lower back when I lean back too far, so I've tried to avoid doing that.
I'm doing 5X5 now, but maybe I should up the reps?
Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
