How to Do Cable Kneeling Crunch

Form Cues

1. 1

   Kneel facing the cable set high, grip rope behind head, crunch down bringing elbows toward knees

2. 2

   Fully contract the abs at the bottom

3. 3

   Keep your hips relatively still, letting the movement come from your spine curling, not your hips hinging

4. 4

   Return to the top under control, keeping tension on the abs throughout

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Pulling with the arms and hip flexors — the movement should come entirely from crunching the abs, elbows simply follow the torso

• ●

  Sitting back onto the heels to add range — the movement should stay isolated to spinal flexion

• ●

  Using too much weight, which forces the arms and hips to take over from the abs
