Never tried an ab wheel before so I kind of doubt it, would have to get acclimated to that exercise. Pretty impressive, is that you?

If you're using them for abs then I'm going to drop them from my ab routine. 8)

I'm gonna pick one up and see how quickly I fall on my face lololol. I stick primarily to leg lifts on the Swiss ball and hanging leg raises when I compete. Now that I'm 33 and tired of "bodybuilding" I really just want to diet down to around 10% and just be as healthy as possible. Gonna give this a try, looks great for core strength.

Apparently you are supposed to keep the back as rounded as possible.

that's the point, it's "almost" impossible to keep it that way if you want full stretch and the full benefit of that move.

I can keep my back streight at best but not rounded, it still feels annoying to the spine  :-\

If you do it then why do you have to imagine what gets worked?  Wiggs are you trying to pull a fast one?

Not many athletes or bodybuilders can do that feat. I was able to do it with one hand. I was a gymnast at UBC and McGill Universities.

how the fuck do you do an ab wheel with one hand? ::)
Title: Re: Can ANYONE here Do This without Kneeling?
Post by: Vince B on April 25, 2010, 01:59:30 AM
Not an abwheel but you put one hand out in front of you then press up so you clear the floor.

 I can do it. I can also do a lot a crazy yoga poses. Doing that kind of shit is true fitness, it goes beyond just having muscles to flex.

really just need to keep the pelvis tucked in, abs tight.  It's possible, even with one arm and weight vests, see here at 3:45:



that video also has a lot of other exercises to try

I could do that without kneeling back when i first purchased that thing, which is quite a few years ago now.

Nowadays, i dont think i could, but i have been slacking with training for a few years now.

The Abeles Wheel is quite a strenous exercise though! Not everyone can.

David Paul (Barbarian Brother) does these daily.  he is incredible with the ab wheel.  He does them straight legged and goes ALL the way out and comes in and does reps.

I think I am going to try the partials first as shown on that video Shifted Shapes posted in order to get the motion down.


Keith, in your arm wrestling days, did you ever hear of anyone ending up with a hernia, tears in the abdominal wall from over straining?   It seems one would have to have super strong abs to arm wrestle as I imagine you would tense then viciously during a match.

I can totally do it. Would I do it regularly? No...I'd be too nervous about long-term injuries to my hips and rotator cuffs. Also, the lighter you are (I'm about 220), the easier it is to incorporate into a regular regimen. For me, it's pushing it.
