The Abdominal Crunch is a full commercial-rated plate-loaded resistance machine for complete abdominal training and core training. The user must initially sit with their legs locked and their shins pressed on the bottom roller pads while gripping the handles with their arms stretched overhead to complete the vertical ab crunch exercise. The exerciser simultaneously raises the lower carriage by engaging the lower abdominals and lower carriage by engaging the upper abdominals. When completing an efficient crunch action, exercisers are kept upright and more comfortable with correct back support when they are in a vertical position. Olympic weight plates may be added to the weight post that is fastened to the upper carriage below the back pad so that more experienced users can train gradually with more workload resistance.
How to Use:
- Start by selecting the appropriate weight on the machine.
- Sit on the machine and adjust the seat height so that the padded bar is at the level of your upper chest when you are in the seated position.
- Grasp the handles or grips of the machine and sit with your back against the pad.
- Position your feet flat on the floor and keep your knees bent.
- With your hands positioned on the handles, exhale as you slowly curl your shoulders towards your hips, contracting your abdominal muscles as you lift your upper body off the pad.
- Hold the contraction for a moment at the top of the movement.
- Inhale as you slowly lower your upper body back to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
It’s important to keep your lower back pressed against the pad during the exercise and to avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Also, keep your head and neck in a neutral position.
