How to do it

  1. 01

    Seat on a flat bench with your back facing a high pulley.

  2. 02

    Grasp the cable rope attachment with both hands (with the palms of the hands facing each other) and place your hands securely over both shoulders. Tip: Allow the weight to hyperextend the lower back slightly. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    With the hips stationary, flex the waist so the elbows travel toward the hips. Breathe out as you perform this step.

  4. 04

    As you inhale, go back to the initial position slowly.

  5. 05

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Cable Seated Crunch appears when you own a cable stack and the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a cable stack

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
