So, I had a less than successful experience with recruiting the missus as a training partner.
I was trying out the janda situp with her assistance, and I tried to ask her to change the calibration of that assistance. there was some argument about it, and the experience stopped right then.
So I was looking for tutorials on how to do the Janda situp unassisted. but I hadn't found a way to get my legs flexing against some point of resistance pulling away from me in a structurally sound way.
unless...
Maybe it will work to try to pinch a plate between my heels and glutes.
I did try pressing my heels against heavy kettlebells laid on their side, and I didn't feel like I had a good connection between my heel and the bell. maybe this speaks to my hamstrings' strength, but it seemed unstable, and I didn't figure it out.
I do have bumper plates downstairs, so hopefully, this works.
I'm going to try this later, and see how it goes.
I guess my question might be: if you do janda situps without a pavelizer, how do you do them ?
