Kneeling Cable Crunch With Alternating Oblique Twists

Core · Cable

How to do it

Rope on the high pulley and kneel in front with it beside your face. Curl your spine driving your elbows towards the floor and, at the bottom, **rotate bringing one elbow towards the opposite knee**; return and alternate on the next rep. The twist at the end of the range is where the obliques fully contract. The classic mistake is sitting back onto your heels to go lower: the hips stay still and only the spine moves.

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.
