W crunch

This is a sophisticated movement that targets the lower lats, a difficult part of the back to emphasize with more basic movements. In addition, it can help define your obliques. Attach U-handles to both high pulleys and grasp a handle in each hand with a palms-up grip. Kneel on the ground and hold the weight off the stack with a significant bend in your elbows. At the start, your arms should form a “W”.

Maintaining the bend in your elbows, bring them into your sides, feeling a contraction on the outer, lower part of your lats. Pause and slowly return to the “W” starting position and repeat. Focus on the movement of your elbows rather than your lower arm.
