Instructions
Preparation
- Kneel below a high pulley. Grasp cable rope attachment with both hands. Place wrists against head. Flex hips allowing resistance on cable pulley to lift torso upward so spine is hyperextended.
Execution
- With hips stationary, flex waist so elbows travel toward middle of thighs. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Note movement occurs in waist, not hips. See Spot Reduction Myth. Certain individuals may need to keep their neck in a neutral position with a space between their chin and sternum. If two soft stirrups are used instead of rope attatchment, grasp stirrups at side of head. Also see Cable Standing Crunch.
