Thread: Cable Crunches HELLLLLLPPP!!!!

you know the tricep extention cable?
the upright one just use that and just crunch your abs.
i have the same problem cuz i only wiegh 150 and this seems to help

At my gym there is a newer machine where you strap these things across your chest, and you stand with your back against a backrest. it's essentially a cable crunch but you're standing upright and crunching from that position with the weight/cables attached to your torso. Pretty nifty, though I've never used it myself.

hummm...ya, attach it to the lower pully...doh! I've only seen people use it from the high pulley...makes more sense

thanks

does sound nifty...we don't have anything like that tho!

Instead of having a partner sit on you, have a 45 pound plate sit on you...

Try a different exercise: Crunches on a Swiss Ball. Hold a weight on your upper chest and do crunches this way. Make sure you're not using your hip flexors and lower back to do the movement, which is probably what you're mostly doing during heavy cable crunches.
