What It Is
Curling against cable weight trains your abs like any other muscle, adding load bit by bit as you get stronger.
How to Do It
Set the pulley high and attach the rope. Kneel on the floor facing the machine, on a mat or folded towel, with the rope ends beside your head. Curl your ribs toward your hips, bringing your elbows to your thighs. Slowly rise back up until your back is straight.
Skill Level
Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.
Type
Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.
Engagement
Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
