Abdominal / Oblique Crunch

Name: Plate Loaded Abdominal Oblique Crunch
Brand: hammer strength

Whether athletes are driving power by swinging a bat, bracing for contact, or transitioning force between your upper and lower body, the core is at the center of it all. The Abdominal / Oblique Crunch is built to help athletes strengthen that crucial link by loading and refining the mechanics of the crunch. It gives users the ability to target core engagement with precision, reinforcing real-world movement patterns that carry over to sport and everyday performance.

Dimensions (L x W x H): 44 x 58 x 54 in (112 x 147 x 137 cm)

More Core. More Performance.

Anyone can build strong legs and powerful arms, but if the core can’t transfer that power, performance will hit a wall. Whether sprinting, lifting, throwing, or changing direction—the core is the link that holds it all together. This oblique crunch machine is built to strengthen that link with intentional movement, controlled resistance, and rotational options. This isn’t just about sculpting abs—it’s about creating a performance-ready core that fuels real strength and athletic output.

Make Every Rep Count—Without Guesswork

Floor crunches and flimsy ab machines often reinforce bad patterns or leave the motion up to chance. This machine puts athletes in the proper position with biomechanically sound movement and over-shoulder grips for full-body control. Every rep is aligned, focused, and effective—so athletes can work harder and smarter.

FAQ

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.

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.

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.

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.
