Primary muscles: Abdominals

How to do it

  1. Connect a rope attachment to a tower, and move the cable to the lowest pulley position. Stand with your side to the cable with a wide stance, and grab the rope with both hands.
  2. Twist your body away from the pulley as you bring the rope over your shoulder like you're performing a judo flip.
  3. Shift your weight between your feet as you twist and crunch forward, pulling the cable downward.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat until failure.
  5. Then, reposition and repeat the same series of movements on the opposite side.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Cable Judo Flip from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Abdominals volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
