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.

This is the answer. It is more than likely your Lumbar region is going into excessive extension. So shortening your range of motion would help. A good exercise to master would be Hollow Body's. If you can maintain that hollow position or pelvic tuck, you will be able to be more efficient with any core excercises that call for elongating your frame.
