What matters on this model

  • gym80 source: targets the rectus abdominis.

Why use it

Use the Lying Abdominal Machine for controlled trunk work with support and measurable loading. Treat the listed adjustments as part of the exercise, not as optional details.

Muscles worked

  • Main load: Core.
  • Stabilization: trunk muscles help hold position.
  • Should not hurt: joints or lower back. If they do, reduce load and check setup.

How to set up

  1. For the Lying Abdominal Machine, first check its source-listed detail: targets the rectus abdominis.
  2. Adjust the seat, roller, or chest support for your height.
  3. Secure the pelvis and feet so the movement comes from the trunk.
  4. Choose a range that does not irritate the lower back.
  5. Start with a load you can control on the return.

How to perform

  1. On the Lying Abdominal Machine, move smoothly through this model's working path.
  2. Do not pull with the arms when the handles are only for support.
  3. Pause briefly at the working end of the range.
  4. Return slowly while keeping trunk tension.

Common mistakes

  • Jerking the torso instead of controlling the contraction.
  • Using a range that causes lower-back discomfort.
  • Pulling with the arms instead of the trunk.
  • Losing pelvis or foot fixation.
  • Ignoring this model-specific detail: targets the rectus abdominis.
