How to Do

How to Do Standing Oblique Cable Crunch or Freemotion

1. Attach a D-handle to the pulley machine and stand sideways to the weight stack to begin the exercise.

3. Drag the pulley handle all the way down until your hand is between your nose and shoulder. Keep one hand on your hip and the other on your shoulder.
