Ab Wheel Rollout

Setup

1. 01Start kneeling with the ab wheel under the shoulders.
2. 02Tuck the ribs down and squeeze the glutes.
3. 03Keep elbows softly extended.
4. 04Begin with a range you can reverse without low-back sag.

Execution

1. 01Roll forward slowly while keeping the ribs and pelvis connected.
2. 02Reach only as far as the trunk can stay braced.
3. 03Pause briefly at the farthest controlled point.
4. 04Pull back by using the abs and lats, not by sitting the hips back first.

Checkpoints

• -Low back does not sag.
• -Glutes stay lightly squeezed.
• -Shoulders move smoothly with the wheel.
• -Range grows only as control improves.

Common mistakes

• -Rolling farther than the brace can handle.
• -Letting hips lead the return.
• -Holding breath so hard that control breaks.
• -Starting from the toes before kneeling reps are solid.
