Instructions:

  • 1Attach a D-handle to a low pulley cable machine.
  • 2Kneel down beside the machine, grasp the handle with one hand, then hold onto the machine for support with the other hand.
  • 3Bend at your waist towards the side of the machine, squeezing as you crunch.
  • 4Pause at the point of tension then slowly return to the starting position.
  • 5Repeat this for the desired number of repetitions then switch sides.

Tips:

  • Make sure you're directly bending to the side and not forward or backward.
  • Ensure your movements are controlled and precise.
  • Squeeze your obliques at the top of each crunch.
  • Avoid tugging or jerking the handle - use your obliques to guide the movement.
