FEATURES
Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Abdominal / Oblique Crunch | PL-AB Key Features:
- Targets full abdominal wall and oblique muscles through dual-action swivel seat motion
- Plate-loaded design (independent paths of motion) for strength training like free weights
- Swivel (rotational) seat allows side-to-side torque to train obliques individually
- Accepts 3–25 lb (4–15 kg) plates per rod
- Standard weight horns (4) for storing plates on the machine itself
- 11-gauge steel with electrostatic powder coating for durability
Over-Shoulder XL Handles
The long over-shoulder handles provide a firm, stable grip during loaded core work—helping athletes stay locked in and focused on proper crunch mechanics. The unique size and placement of the handles are designed to support the upper body through both abdominal and oblique movements, promoting better alignment and controlled, powerful reps.
Adjustable Swivel Seat
The swivel seat locks into left, right, or center positions—giving athletes the ability to isolate obliques or focus on traditional abdominal crunches. This simple yet powerful adjustability opens up more movement variety, allowing for targeted core training from multiple angles without compromising form.
Integrated Weight Storage
The Abdominal / Oblique Crunch has 3 integrated weight plate storage rods to keep plates close at hand, so athletes can load and unload quickly to maintain intensity during training. Our weight storage solution minimizes downtime, keeps the space clean, and ensures athletes stay focused on building strength and performance.
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.
