COMost people butcher cable ab crunches they hinge at the hips, pull with their arms, and never get true spinal flexion.
This setup fixes all of that.
By using the leg pad as a back brace and choosing this cable set-up, you lock your lower body in place so your spine can actually move. That gives you the freedom to go into full spinal extension → spinal flexion, which is exactly how you bias the upper abs.
Here’s why this version hits different:
The leg pad acts as back brace and being seated helps to stabilize your pelvis so the abs can do the work
Your upper spine can rounds properly, giving you a stronger contraction
You remove momentum and isolate what really matters: controlled flexion
It’s one of the easiest ways to feel TRUE upper-ab activation
If you’ve never tried this setup, you’re leaving definition and strength on the table.
