1-6+ is my goal, including cheat reps

I'm doing what's called "Scrunches" - essentially a much better variation of a regular old crunch.

The key here is to pull WITHOUT a fully closed fist on the concentric (positive), and also keep your torso stationary and focus on getting a big full stretch at the bottom.
I only fully grab the handles when I'm trying to get the extra "cheat reps" for more stimulus.

This mainly works your Rectus Abdominis; your "6-Pack" as well as your Transverse Abdominis; your personal 'weightlifting belt' used for bracing. Additionally, it will train your hip flexors.

I train my core every workout in between my main body part movements. 💪
