Training the abs with resistence?

[IronLion]

I use about 140 for mine, and it does help on the up eccentric if you are heavier, pills is right it is a gm type motion but it is the exact antagonist muscles that are working, so it is like hitting the eccentric portion of a gm w/ weight...I feel they are a much more functional lift that their cousin kneeling cable crunches.

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.

Thanks spatts.

The exercise I was doing is this (and it may not be 200lbs but it says 190 at the end of the stack and I add one more thing on it that is supposedly 10lbs):

Damn, their website is down but there is a pic of it on www.ast-ss.com under abdominal training for cable rope crunches. I never did them standing, but kneeling ...

I'm familiar...it's alot easier. And like you said, I could do them all day long. Try the standing ones some time and tell me what you think.
