Training the abs with resistence?

[sk*]

I don't really do crunches. I do all my ab work with my legs straight. I think you will find that in a wide stance, leaning forward, with legs straight, 200 is a VERY heavy cable pull down. I don't use anything close to that.

Hmm, i'll try it ... but not quite sure I get the exercise, any pics online that you know of?

Thanks a lot.

hey sk, you should also try standing cable crunches; only its more like a gm than a crunch, anyway it is killer. you will not be able to do the whole stack on these

Abs on the GHR ...I do this with a med ball or a plate, generally.

Standing Cable Crunches Legs remain straight, and I'm leaning away to allow for a full ROM.

i dont know anyone who uses 200 lbs for cable pull downs.
