Any ab wheels that force correct posture? Maybe I should switch to ab roller?

[frank67]

I have been using a basic ab wheel for over a year, but I don't think it's doing much for me because I don't have the correct posture that puts the focus on my abs. I'm hoping there's another product out there that positions your arms, elbow, or anything else correctly to force the correct position of your body to really hit the abs. Maybe I should go back to something like the old-school ab crunch device?

Ab wheel I have

Mabye I should consider switching to the Ab Crunch?

@frank67 Abs are super easy to target with no equipment. The simplest way to learn how to engage the right place is by learning a hollow body hold.

@hubby21h Second this. You can progress to vent knee V-Ups and eventually fully V-ups.

From there it starts getting more training specific

@frank67 Get a pair of gymnastic rings and do ring rollouts.

@yhjmkiop THIS. Man, I haven't had abs DOMS in a long time like when I did ring rollouts and I'm still learning them.

@frank67 Try deadbugs or weighted deadbugs. The key is posterior pelvic tilt—do the exercise while trying to force your bellybutton down to the floor

@frank67 So, I have a very similar ab wheel and love it - what do you think is going wrong with your posture?

@frank67 Ab roller puts pressure on where you are weakest. It's not only a core exercise.

@frank67 The ab crunch allows you to NOT use your abs to produce the movement which defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place. It's an assisted sit up gadget.

Do situps instead, deadbugs, birdogs etc etc
