Place hands with cable ropes in front of each shoulder so that cable is taunt. If available, place hand in rope slot that allows cable to be taut when hands are in position.
Execution
- Flex waist so torso pulls ropes forward and downward. Return until back of shoulders return to surface. Repeat alternating twists with opposite sides.
Comments
- Padded hump should be adjusted to height of low back. See Spot Reduction Myth. Also see Cable Standing Twiting Crunch.
