Equipment
How to log the weight
Bodyweight
A bodyweight movement — log added load only if you strap extra weight on.
Recovery window
~54h for the primary movers
Programming notes
Sit-up is driven by the abs, with obliques assisting. Give the primary movers roughly 54 hours before loading them hard again. In the same session it pairs cleanly with Barbell Bench Press, whose primary movers don't overlap with anything this exercise works.
