Cable Reverse Crunch

Core · Cable

How to do it

Ankle straps on a low pulley and a mat in front. Lie on your back with your legs towards the pulley, knees bent, and hold something solid behind your head. **Bring your knees to your chest lifting your hips off the floor** against the cable, hold, and lower very slowly. The cable keeps tension at the top too, where a normal reverse crunch rests. The classic mistake is letting the cable stretch you out fully at the bottom: tension never drops during the set.

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.
