Band Kneeling Crunch
The kneeling cable crunch with a band tied overhead in place of the stack; the band pulls hardest at the end of the curl.
How to do it
Setup
On both knees below a high anchor, thighs upright, hands holding the band beside the head.
Steps
- Curl the elbows down toward the thighs.
- Keep the thighs upright; the hips do not sit back.
- Return to upright against the band's pull, slowly.
Common mistakes
Hips dropping back toward the heels: keep the thighs upright. Band slack at the top: kneel further from the anchor. Arms yanking the band: they only hold it at the head.
Breathing
Exhale on the crunch, inhale on the return.
