Oblique Cable Crunch Video Exercise Guide

Oblique Cable Crunch Video Exercise Guide
  1. Attach a D-handle attachment to a high pulley on a cable machine. Kneel sideways next to the machine, with your knees bent at 90 degrees.
  2. Grab the attachment with the arm that's parallel to the cable machine and bring it to one side of your head. Your forearm should be at a right angle to your upper arm. This is the starting position.
  3. Engage your core by crunching your torso downward and to the side, bringing your elbow toward your hip, while keeping your hips stable.
  4. Focus on using your obliques to bend your body, not just your arms.
  5. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position with control, keeping tension on the cable.
  6. Perform the desired number of reps, then switch sides to target both obliques.
