Hello everyone,
I recently came across some info about the Hardstyle Sit-up, the one that uses the Pavelizer 2 (or maybe a rubber band by your calves). I guess I'm just confused by the concept, hopefully someone can explain.
The device makes the legs weightless. So due to physics, you can't sit up all the way. So isn't this just a glorified crunch? Just spinal flexion? I tried it with a rubber band 45 degrees upward. Felt the same as a crunch honestly.
I was told I was "doing it wrong" if it felt like a crunch. So I did a negative all the way from the top, and just fell through the ROM. Which is to be expected, again, due to physics. If I COULD control that ROM, then by definition, my HFs must be working... so it turns into a regular sit-up no?
What am I missing?
Thanks!
