Ab Wheel Rollout
From the knees, roll the wheel forward as far as control allows and pull back with the abs.
How to do it
Setup
Kneel with the wheel under the shoulders, hips slightly tucked, back flat.
Steps
- Roll forward as far as the trunk stays rigid.
- No sag in the lower back at the far point.
- Pull back with the abs and lats together.
Common mistakes
Lower back arching at the far end: shorten the rollout; distance is earned. Hips leading the return: the WHEEL comes back first. Fast reps: slow out, slower back.
Breathing
Inhale rolling out, exhale pulling back.
