Twisting Oblique Cable Crunch Instructions
- Sit on a bench positioned sideways, a few feet in front of a high cable attachment, holding the rope handle with either; both hands, or with the hand away from the cable machine.
- Engage your core, keep your hips stable, and slowly crunch diagonally—pulling your ribcage toward your opposite hip while keeping the movement controlled.
- Pause at the bottom of the crunch, maintaining the rotated angle, then return to the starting position with control.
- Repeat.

Benefits for the Twisting Oblique Cable Crunch
- This exercise strengthens the obliques and deep core muscles that drive rotational power, helping you create a more powerful and controlled backswing and follow-through.
- The angled motion improves spinal stability and rotational control, which leads to better sequencing, cleaner impact, and reduced strain on the lower back.
- It trains the body to rotate while maintaining hip stability, a key skill for preventing sway or slide in the golf swing.
- By improving core strength and rotational endurance, it helps golfers maintain consistent posture and swing mechanics throughout the entire round.
