Abdominals Cable Crunch

The cable crunch is an exercise for the abdominals, where you pull down a weight with the strength of you abdominals. This is one of the few abdominal exercises
you can do with less than 20 repetitions (very good for abdominal size and shape). Find more abdominal exercises at weight training and bodybuilding.

• Kneel down and grasp the cable attachment over-head. You can do the abdominal cable crunch with a rope attachment or 2 pulley handles - whatever feels more comfortable for you. Press the forearms against your head to make sure you don't train your arms more than your ab-muscles.
• Keep your back round throughout the entire exercise, so that you abdominals stay under contraction always. Don't hollow your back!
• Now pull down your elbows towards your thighs, your knee or the floor, until your abdominals are fully contracted. Exhale at the same time.
• Then move back up slowly and concentrated and inhale.

Advice

• Use a mat to protect your knees when you kneel down.
• Don't forget to keep your back round.
• You may hold the lowest position of the cable crunch for a second.
