re: Low back pain with ab wheel

I started shortening my range on motion (not extending as far) so that I can stay in a hollow position. I think a lot of people overextend at the end range and their low back goes into extension. Not saying this is the cause, but maybe give it shot. Try shortening the range, but keeping your low back in slight flexion with your abs turned on throughout the whole movement. You can think about pulling your ribcage down a little, like your bracing to get punched in the gut - maintain that position throughout.
