Hammer Strength Plate-Loaded Abdominal Oblique Crunch

Can beginners use this abdominal crunch machine?

Yes, the guided motion and ergonomic handles help users stay in control and maintain proper form, making it safe and effective for all experience levels—from beginner to elite athlete. 

How does the Abdominal/Oblique Crunch Machine differ from doing crunches on the floor?

Unlike floor crunches, this machine provides resistance and structure to the movement, ensuring proper biomechanics and full range of motion. It can also reduce neck and spine strain while increasing training efficiency when compared to floor or mat movements.

What muscles does the Hammer Strength Abdominal / Oblique Crunch machine work?

This machine targets the entire core, including the rectus abdominis (abs), internal and external obliques, and deeper stabilizing muscles. With the swivel seat, users can isolate different regions of the core by performing straight or rotational crunches. 

How do you adjust the Abdominal / Oblique Crunch Machine?

The XL over-shoulder handles are fixed and designed for a stable, secure grip. They help keep the upper body in place, allowing the core to do the work while maintaining strong positioning throughout the movement.
