Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Attach a cable handle to a high pulley and stand facing away from the machine.
- 2.Hold the handle with both hands and place it behind your head, keeping your elbows bent.
- 3.Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- 4.Keeping your abs engaged, exhale and crunch your torso down towards your knees, bringing your elbows towards your thighs.
- 5.Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
- 6.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
