Instructions
3/4 Sit-Up
Lie down on the floor and secure your feet. Your legs should be bent at the knees.
Place your hands behind or to the side of your head. You will begin with your back on the ground. This will be your starting position.
Flex your hips and spine to raise your torso toward your knees.
At the top of the contraction your torso should be perpendicular to the ground. Reverse the motion, going only ¾ of the way down.
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Suspended Fallout
Adjust the straps so the handles are at an appropriate height, below waist level.
Begin standing and grasping the handles. Lean into the straps, moving to an incline push-up position. This will be your starting position.
Keeping your arms straight, lean further into the suspension straps, bringing your body closer to the ground, allowing your shoulders to extend, raising your arms up and over your head.
Maintain a neutral spine and keep the rest of your body straight, your shoulders being the only joints allowed to move.
Pause during the peak contraction, and then return to the starting position.
Verdict
Both exercises target the abdominals. 3/4 Sit-Up is a beginner exercise using bodyweight, while Suspended Fallout is intermediate and uses other. Choose 3/4 Sit-Up if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Suspended Fallout for a greater challenge. 3/4 Sit-Up is a compound movement working multiple joints, making it better for overall strength. Suspended Fallout isolates the target muscle for focused development.
