Abdominal Crunch (Machine Assisted) – Description
The machine-assisted abdominal crunch is an isolation exercise that targets the rectus abdominis (the “six-pack” muscle) while also engaging the obliques as stabilizers. The machine provides guided movement and adjustable resistance, making it easier to overload the abs compared to bodyweight crunches.
Setup:
Sit on the machine with your back against the pad and feet secured (if applicable).
Grip the handles or position your arms as instructed by the machine’s design.
Adjust the seat and resistance to match your body mechanics and strength level.
Execution:
Engage your core and contract your abs to bring your torso forward/down, pressing against the machine’s resistance.
Exhale as you crunch, keeping the motion slow and controlled.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, squeezing your abs.
Slowly return to the starting position while resisting the weight.
Key Points:
Focus on spinal flexion (curling your spine) rather than pulling with your arms or hip flexors.
Avoid jerking or using momentum—keep the movement smooth.
Adjust resistance so you can perform controlled reps with good form.
