vertical bench crunch problem!

titanschicsha Posts: 16 Joined: 2003/02/21	2003/02/26, 01:16 PM Okay, I started vertical bench crunches today, the only problem is everytime I left my knees to my chest my hip/pelvis area pops on both sides. It's strange, not real painful just sounds like bone rubbing on bone. Any ideas? ---------------------------- Sha God bless America!

I know when I do shoulders, I get the popping in my shoulders all the time, but it does not hurt, and been sounding that way for years. I think what you are doing is also called the Roman Chair. If it persists, you may try in its place lying leg lifts. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

I am so determined to get into shape it would have to cripple me to stop me, now! Cjohnson 98 leave your profile so we know who ya are! -------------- Shannon

If you do inclined crunches with a weight on your chest make sure it's not to much.. You can get what's called a epigastric hernia.. I found out the hard way..
