Cable Crunch

How to do it

Kneeling in front of the high pulley with the rope beside your head. **Round your back** driving your elbows towards your thighs, squeezing the abs, and return under control without letting the weight yank you straight. The hips do not move: if they do, it becomes a hip exercise. You feel the whole abdomen under load, which is what floor crunches lack: here you can add weight.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
