Ab rollout

Purpose

• banger hypertrophy ab exercise
• great for anti-extension trunk stability

Execution

Kneel on a pad with an ab wheel in front of you, hands on the handles. Brace your trunk, tighten your glutes, and maintain a neutral spine position throughout the movement.

• roll the wheel forward while keeping your arms straight
• allow your torso to lower toward the ground as you extend
• maintain tension in your abs, preventing your lower back from arching
• use your abs to pull the wheel back to the starting position
• keep your glutes engaged throughout to protect your lower back

When you get stronger, try performing the exercise from a standing position, working towards full extension.
