How to do bosu cable crunch with side bends
- Set two cable handles to the lowest pulley positions. Place a Bosu between and in front of them, dome upward. Sit in front of it and lie back with the lower back supported on the dome and feet planted wide.
- Hold the handles with arms reaching forward between the knees. Brace and curl the rib cage toward the pelvis, keeping the arms aligned with the cables rather than pulling with the elbows.
- Return slowly over the dome through a comfortable range. Complete only the planned controlled repetitions.
- For the side-bend finish, keep the hips supported in a steady bridge and reach one straight arm toward its same-side heel. Alternate small controlled side bends, then return the handles safely.
Better reps before more weight.
