Oblique Crunch on Hyperextension

Technique

How to perform Oblique Crunch on Hyperextension

1. Secure your feet in the hyperextension bench and position the pad to support your pelvis while allowing the torso to move.
2. Turn onto one side of the pelvis against the pad and cross your arms over your chest.
3. Keep the hips supported in that orientation as you lower and rotate the torso into the bottom position with the chest facing the ceiling.
4. Curl the torso upward and rotate until the chest faces the wall in the same direction as the front of your pelvis.
5. Reverse the trunk curl and rotation under control without shifting the hips on the pad or swinging through the bottom.
6. Finish the repetitions, then reposition onto the other side of the pelvis and repeat.
