Dead Bug with Plates Video Exercise Guide

The deadbug with plates is an exercise used to strengthen the muscles of the abs, and is a variation of the dead bug.

The deadbug works as an anti-extension abdominal exercise in which you must keep the spine stable as you slowly raise your arm overhead.

The deadbug gets its name because you look like a dead bug on its back with its legs in the air when you are performing the exercise.

The dead bug with plates adds weight to the dead bug exercise as a form of progression. This would be an excellent choice for those who have mastered the bodyweight variation of this exercise.
