How To Do It

1. Attach a handle to a cable pulley at chest height. Stand away from the machine to put tension on the cable. Place feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Brace your abs and press the cable overhead. Avoid twisting or bending to either side. Perform all reps on one side, then switch sides.

WHY: Pressing the handle overhead (instead of straight in front of you) forces the abs to work harder to prevent you from tipping or rotating.
