The decline sit up is a great variation of the sit up. Here you see Steve Diel performing a set with a plate behind his head. This is a great ab exercise that also hits the hip flexors hard. Usually performed in high rep sets using bodyweight, and lower rep sets when weighted. Not much to it, lean back and flex your abs hard to pull yourself up.
