I have a pair of olympic DB's (and a SB and LB), this is the reason why I had asked. And, slapping on a pair of small olympic plates would be near the same mechanic make up as the ab wheel. I may give this ago 2morrow (rest day today) and mess around with it and see how it goes. I never actually did the ab wheel exercise during the entire time I have been dieting and fitness training. I am going to do some research on the various ways to perform the exercise, and see if it will have any benefit.


ROCK ON!


Best wishes,


Chillen

2 sets of 15 is nothing... not to be challenging you but I do well over a hundred on mine and it starts to kill and gets things burning like crazy... I say you have to up it. I can do 3 sets of 15 dumbbell bench with 10 lbs like cake... doesn't mean that dumbbell bench is crap.

Dumbell bench has its place for certain people in development training, no one should tell you differently. Why do you do 100 reps with the ab wheel?

hahhaaha - that's a good question Chillen. Of course why would we do 100's of pushups in a day, for fun I guess.

to the 100 abwheel poster- you are late.

let me save you alot of time.

use your bare feet on the wheel. use your toes to hold the lil handles and do 1 set of 10- all the way out and back. If you are skilled with the wheel, I should shut up actually becaue I am not. But, 100 reps can not be good for your rotator cuffs, or shoulders.

hahahaha,, but putting the wheel in your feet is a whole new thing. Even worse is trying to keep my legs completely straight and doing it frrom a standing position. I have been playing with my new toy..... my guts ache.

my new lil, inside side bet with myself is to get a good enough handle on this core to have an ab wheel in hands, and in feet, and do it on the pavement. Video to follow. that is a fittness challenge!
