Seated Ab Crunch hurts shoulders

[codefinger]

The seated ab crunch requires pretty thin cords to cross over my shoulders as I lean forward into them.....no surprise here, it hurts! Those cords really dig in.

Is there a bowflex accessory that might help with this?

Thanks in advance for any responses!

No accessory that I can think of. It's all about changing the angle you are pressing at. Unfortunately the cables do get in the way at times.

Setting up in a less than optimal position can create shoulder pain.
