TMC’s Bigger Harder and More Defined Muscles: Weighted Ab Machines

November 18th, 2009  •  No Comments

The Muscle Couple was recently experimenting with the Hammer Strength Ab Curl Machine.

Its an awesome device that does exactly everything you want when training abs.

  • Weighted resistance offering progressive overload
  • Full rectus abdominus contraction
  • Lower back and pelvic stability
  • Ability to target obliques by arranging in multiple angles

There are many Abdominal machines offering similar functionality.

We are not advocating replacing your normal ab exercises with only machines.  But its a very good practice to substitute them in at times during your normal ab workout for variation.  They are also great when pressed for time.

If your gym has this machine, we recommend adding it to your arsenal of Ab exercises.

Shoot for 3-4 sets of 12-15 crunches.  Pick a weight that makes it difficult to finish in the target rep ranges.

Be prepared for an intense rectus burn.
