Instructions for a Standing Oblique Cable Crunch
- Standing oblique cable crunches work the obliques and abs. Attach the grip attachment to the high pulley cable machine and choose the desired weight.
- With your feet firmly planted on the ground and shoulder width apart face your torso at a right angle to the cable pulley and grasp the handle with your left hand.
- There should be a straight angle between your upper arm and forearm.
- As much as you can pull down with your left oblique.
- Take a moment then release the weight.
- Throughout the workout don’t allow the weight to come down to the stack.
- After completing required number of repetitions with this method switch to the opposite side.
Exercise Advice
- Always maintain a straight back and forward facing gaze.
- Maintain constant tension on the arm holding the cable.
- For extra intensity, pause for two or more seconds at the halfway point of the workout.
