Can you break your back with ab wheel?
« on: July 25, 2010, 05:14:05 AM »
I've started doing them as my main ab excercise and even though I'm getting better with it, it feels akward in the middle of my spine now...
 it's like it will snap in half if I try to do movements where i touch my toes because the spine gets tenced while stretching to the spines opposite direction, and I'm a firm believer in murphys law, if anything can go wrong, it will.

So... any experiences when you first started doing it?

no no actually, I've passed that phase during the excercise itself, the problem is I feel something "in" my middle spine when I bend over to grab something or tie my shoes etc... it feels akward, it's like... like when you bend a wooden stick, it breaks and gets much more loosen so you can bend it to the other direction, right?
But when you bend it to the opposite direction after that it will break.. that's how my back feels now...

It doesn't hurt... it just feels if I put any presure to it it may snap... it doesn't hurt at all but... doesn't feel right :D

There must be some getbiger who has lots of experience... by the way,
