How to do 3/4 Sit-Ups

  1. Set up like a normal sit-up: knees bent, feet secured.
  2. Curl all the way up until your torso is vertical.
  3. Lower only three quarters of the way down — shoulders never touch — and go again.
Where reps get stolen

Sneaking the full rest. Touching your shoulders down between reps turns it back into a regular sit-up.
