Pulley Crunches

Pulley crunches stress the entire rectus abdominis muscle. There is also powerful stress placed on the lower lats and the serratus muscles at the side of your ribcage. Pulley Crunches are one of many ab workouts to create good looking abs.

1. First, attach a rope handle to an overhead pulley and grasp the rope handle with an overhead grip.
   
   
2. Hold the rope behind your neck and kneel down (approximately 1 foot from pulley machine).
   
   

• Bend over at the waist until your abdominals are completely contracted.
  
  
• Blow out all the air from your lungs as the movement is preformed.
  
  
• Repeat the movement until the desired amount of repetitions is completed.
  
  
• The objective is to perform the exercise in a controlled manner and to maintain the tension on the working muscles throughout the entire movement.
