CABLE ROPE CRUNCHES (STANDARD)

  • CORE FOCUS
  • UPPER ABDOMINAL REGION
PROPER EXERCISE TECHNIQUE

Attach a rope on a high pulley and grab a hold of it. Kneel down and position the rope above your head. Maintain this position throughout the movement. Crunch the body to peak contraction and come up just before tension diminishes from the abdominal region. Be sure to keep the hips stationary and avoid crunching to deep. Squeezing at the end of each rep will enhance separation within the abdominal region (visible when lean). The video demonstrates a 2-.5-2 tempo Standard.

Core Focus: Special emphasis on upper region of abdominals
