1. Sit down, adjust the height of the seat, so your knees are at a 90-degree angle 2. Place your hand crossed on your shoulders and place your chin on the arms 3. Arch your back to extend abdominals 4. Touch your elbows to your knees 5. Repeat
You're the best dude. You're like my Personal Trainer. Because of you, I make a tsst noise. It does make things easier. Especially benching. Thanks man!
Many, many thanks for this video Scott. This is one of those machines I felt like I didn't know what I was doing...I'll try the new arm fold technique and lowering the seat down a bit more. Many hours of frustration with this machine heretoforth.
I use a similar machine (Bodymasters 220), and your video shows some new ways to work it that I never thought of; specifically the seat belt and long stretch. The Bodymasters has no seat belt, but a weight belt around the seat frame does it just fine. Thanks!
Good info the best success that I have had was with the Toms Magic Shortcut (just google it) - without a doubt the most useful method that I've followed.
Working abs is indeed always excellent. I use an older Cybex abs crunch that has an ankle brace in the front to hook feet under and one in back to put feet back there for variation. I don't know if your machine is different but I don't go down as far as you but just crunch my abs to move the bar down not so far--that is the abs just crunch the bar down with no bending at the waist. I also do Left Column and Right Column abs flexing.
I was looked for this machine for 10 years since my old school gum was closed. I had like 8 pack like beast. Best machine ever, not like the new lame ones
I use this machine and as a larger belly big chested person, I don't want people to get discouraged because it will be harder to reach your knees like he does😂
To build 6 pack abs or flat abs, it is not just how difficult the workout routines you take, it's also around the food you eat. And science proof has show that you could boost the way to get the 6 pack abs (or flat stomach) 2x - 4x more quickly by simply eat 5 foods that defeat abs fats
I was looking for a video on how to do this machine better than I do. But my problem is.. I HAVE BOOBS! My boobs are in the way! Anyone else have this problem and have tips?
Lol I was searching for a tutorial exactly cause I have this problem xD I did end up like Sam to put it on top of my boobs but for real my boobs got read from it cause it is NOT NICE to workout like that....
Hey, yeah I was going to say that. I hate videos where there talk about two ways and they are both just for men. I found out that I could stand up and lean my boobs over it with my arms and that allows me to go down further and not hurt my breasts. I'm trying to invest in a pillow though. Men doesn't want boobs on themselves so they don't realize just how uncomfortable some of the machines are for us.
Cat Walker With any machine you're unfamiliar with, start very light, do a rep, and go up a few pounds at a time until you find what feels 'right' to you! My rule of thumb is I should have to focus hard to do each repetition, but be able to do 10 of them in a row without getting pushed back or giving up. It takes practice to figure out what your body can do, but if you can do 15, it's too light. :P
@iamcodyethridge Well, thats not true. Damage of ligaments and muscules won't help growth and in children and teenagers they still have what is called a growth plate in their bones which is compared once hardened once you reach adulthood pretty weak. No exercise will stunt ur growth. Too much weight and damaging a bone may.
terry81 yeah i know. this is the worst ab machine i have ever experienced for the back. its unfortunate that this big ass expensive machine isnt even good for you.
Yeah pain in the back definately is unhealthy! I was actually shocked to see he RECOMMENDS to backbend during this excercice!!! Huge NO NO! This will add pressure to your spine which is not the point of it. HORRIBLE ADVICE! At our gym there is actually a seat backrest to make sure you don't bend back and keep the abs actually engaged!
lmfao XDDDDDD I was thinking the same thing... but... i guess... size doesnt matter... but he did talk about being limp through the whole video so YOU NEVER KNOW lol

Thank you so much I'm new to going to the gym and I was really trying to figure out the right way to exercise with this machine

+Isobel Rose May I know what is the foods?
I can really feel that in your abs too!

@MrWelshy272 You can try using a plate.... But I don't think you can hold multiple plates on top of your chest or behind your head lol
Good shit doing this too
i am determined to be that seat belt in my next life.
I was looking for a video on how to do this machine better than I do. But my problem is.. I HAVE BOOBS! My boobs are in the way! Anyone else have this problem and have tips?
I placed it right on TOP of my boobs. At one point I thought maybe under. Don't ever try that, its totally weird :P
Lol I was searching for a tutorial exactly cause I have this problem xD I did end up like Sam to put it on top of my boobs but for real my boobs got read from it cause it is NOT NICE to workout like that....
Have someone hold them for you while doing the exercise so they'll be out of the way.

what does he mean by "neutral spine"? He always uses the term in his ab videos?
5 stars for loving to do your abs!
How much weight do you start with, and how many do you do to start....thanks!
