How to perform this exercise

1. Sit on the end of a stable flat bench with both feet grounded, facing away from the high pulley. Hold the rope ends lightly beside the head with elbows bent and start with the torso upright.
2. Bring the ribs toward the pelvis in a controlled seated crunch, keeping the hips on the bench and the hands beside the head. Return upright without pulling down with the arms or throwing the torso backward.
