Cable Crunch
Cable crunches allow progressive overload on the abs, which most bodyweight ab exercises cannot. Kneel in front of a high cable and crunch down, focusing on spinal flexion.
How to Perform
Kneel facing a high cable with a rope attachment behind your head.
Hold the rope handles beside your head — they stay in place throughout.
Crunch down by flexing your spine, bringing your elbows toward your knees.
Your hips should not move — all motion comes from your spine curling.
Return slowly to the starting position without letting the weight stack slam.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Hinging at the hips instead of flexing the spine.
Pulling with the arms instead of crunching with the abs.
Sitting back on your heels instead of staying upright at the start.
