Cable Reverse Crunch

Technique

How to perform Cable Reverse Crunch

1. Set a low cable pulley and select a controllable load.
2. Secure both ankles in one suitable shared strap, the preferred setup; alternatively, use one cuff on each ankle with both cuffs connected to the same cable.
3. Lie on your back with your feet toward the machine, bend your knees about 90 degrees and raise your thighs.
4. Rest your hands behind your head without pulling on your neck, and align the cable with your legs.
5. Bring your knees toward your torso while curling your pelvis upward until your hips lift from the floor.
6. Lower your pelvis and move your thighs back under control, keeping your knees bent rather than dropping your hips or swinging your legs.
