You ever think about what is the best stopgap before progressing to the Standing Ab Wheel Rollout.

The Elevated Kneeling Rollout has been overlooked as the most important second progressions before progressing to Standing Ab Wheel Rollouts.

The Elevated Kneeling Rollouts provide the same benefit, if not more as the standing. The goal here is to start from an elevated surface that will safely increase the ROM of the exercise making the elevated ab wheel rollout more effective, yet challenging to stabilize and resist lumbar hyperextension but also removes pressure from unwanted extension, flexion and minimal rotation of the spine(when returning to the starting phase of the movement.

The normal targeted aspects of the core are worked during these progressions. However, noticed with this variation is a more in-depth recruitment of these sometime neglected core musculature aspects: rhomboids, latissimus dorsi, spinal erectors and multifidius along with the quadratus lumbar.

1) Grab a swing with both hands.
2) Feet Under the Hips (Athletic Position).
3) Push out as you would when performing an ab rollout or barbell rollout.
4) Dorsiflex toes into ground.
5) Resist falling short of completing the full movement.
6) Come back to starting position and go again.

You thought the Barbell Rollout was tough... I advanced that progression with the Ring Plate Pushout. Now this exercise trains also trains the anti-extention (the ability to keep your lower back from arching) in a different way. With this progression, there is no stability during the movement; therefore, all strength is in the anti-extention of this progression. You might just think I am doing something to be creative but that is why YOU and YOUR athletes are not getting better because you dont have adequate strength in the core, strength in shoulder stability and upper mobility.
