Cable Crunch
Description
A major advantage of performing the cable crunch exercise is the fact that the weight stack makes progression quite easy. The option to add resistance also allows you to reach fatigue faster and more importantly, the added resistance will help to recruit the fast twitch muscle fibers that are responsible for strength and power.
