Instructions

Adjust the cable machine: Set it to a high position and attach a rope to the pulley.

Set up the bench: Place an adjustable bench facing away from the cable machine, ensuring there's enough room to perform the exercise.

Starting position: Sit down on the bench and grab the rope with both hands, with your hands by the sides of your head.

Perform the crunch: Keep your feet flat on the floor and your hips stationary. Engage your core and lean forward from the waist, pulling the weight down as you crunch your abdominals. Exhale during this motion.

Return: Slowly return to the starting position, inhaling as you do so.

Maintain tension: Keep continuous tension on the abs throughout the exercise; do not let the weight stack touch down between reps.

Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets.
