The Abs Company Vertical Crunch
Product Overview The Vertical Crunch™ is a dedicated core-training machine designed to combine upper- and lower-body abdominal movement into one controlled exercise. Instead of relying on a traditional floor crunch, the machine supports the user in a seated position while the upper handles and lower leg assembly work together to create The Abs Company’s double-crunch motion. For additional core variety, the seat swivels for oblique-focused training, allowing the user to change position without moving to a separate machine. Its patented adjustment-free design is intended to make the machine easy to use across a wide range of users. Resistance starts at 20 lb and can be increased to 80 lb total by adding up to 60 lb of 2-inch Olympic weight plates. Additional plates are not included.
