Ab Curl – machine
Ab Curl – machine lets you train trunk flexion with stable setup and consistent resistance. The benefit is repeatability—you can progress load easily while keeping form strict.
Instructions
Sit in the ab curl machine and adjust the seat and pads so they fit securely. Place feet firmly on the platform and grip the handles if available. Engage the core and curl the upper body forward by bringing the ribcage toward the pelvis. Pause briefly, then return slowly to the starting position under control.
Avoid Common Mistakes
• pulling with the arms instead of using the core
• using excessive weight and losing control
• rushing the movement
• overextending the lower back at the start
Variations
• with lighter or heavier resistance
• with pause at peak contraction
• slow controlled lowering
• limited range of motion
• higher repetitions at low load
