Oblique Cable Crunch
Throw in a twist to carve up your obliques!

Jim Stoppani, PhD


Start
  • Grasp a rope handle attached to a high cable pulley and kneel about 2 feet from the weight stack.

  • Turn your body about 45 degrees to the left so that you're at an angle to the cable apparatus.

  • Position your hands down on top of your head and keep your arms locked in this position throughout the exercise. Your knees should be bent at close to a 90-degree angle, and your hips should create an angle just beyond 90 degrees between your torso and thighs.


  • Execution
  • Inhale and hold your breath as you pull down against the resistance, flexing and twisting your spine by contracting your abdominals and obliques. Attempt to bring your right elbow to your left knee.

  • Hold this position for a second as you forcefully exhale and contract your abs and obliques.

  • Slowly return to the start position, resisting the weight with your abs and obliques.

  • Pause for a moment,then inhale and repeat for repetitions.
