Ok, I keep seeing reference to them, they're meant to be good, I want to try them, I do a search and can find no pics or vids of what the hell they are!

Any help??

Found this
"The spread eagle is done by putting the cross-support bars through the lowest holes in the power rack and placing each foot under each bar and then doing sit-ups in this uncomfortable position. Additionally work-out partners can hold your legs in this uncomfortable position as you do your sit-ups."

Anyone have any more detail?

Ok so there is trunk flexion as well as hip flexion. That makes it a bit clearer, thanks.
