Exercise Description

The cable crunch exercise targets your abs with constant tension throughout the entire range of motion. This builds stronger core muscles and better definition.

How To

1. Attach a rope handle to the high pulley of a cable machine and kneel down facing the machine 2. Grab the rope ends and position them beside your head, keeping your hips stationary throughout the cable crunch movement 3. Crunch down by flexing your spine and bringing your elbows toward your knees in a controlled motion 4. Squeeze your abs hard at the bottom position and hold for one second during each cable crunch rep 5. Slowly return to the starting position while maintaining tension on the cable and repeat for desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your hips completely still during the cable crunch - only your spine should move • Focus on pulling with your abs, not your arms or shoulders • Control the weight on both the way down and up for maximum cable crunch effectiveness • Keep constant tension on the cable throughout the entire range of motion

Common Mistakes

• Using your arms to pull the weight instead of engaging your core muscles during the cable crunch • Moving your hips or rocking back and forth instead of keeping them stationary throughout the cable crunch movement • Going too fast and using momentum rather than controlled muscle contractions
