They'll give you ab doms when you first use them right.
Arch your back when you do your rollouts, unless you want to feel the sensation of your spine grinding against itself. The abs are there to bend the spine, so to engage them you gotta arch your back.
Crunches/sit ups just make my tailbone hurt before actually lighting my abs up
Roller can light you up in less than 10 minutes with correct form, go slow
They're adjustable

I don't think we have colour codes in the UK. All I see in amazon is black wheels.
I’m surprised so many people recommending this. I wonder what their abs look like and how strong their core is. I train my abs like an absolute masochist, and they are ridiculously developed and cut. That said, I think this thing is a piece of shit. It doesn’t mimic any movement that you would actually perform in real life and does a piss poor job of taking the rectus abdominis through its entire range of motion. You would be out of better off doing decline or hanging crunches. And planks. Rather than this shitty combination of the two that is inferior to both. I literally never do these. F tier ab exercise imo.
Because you probably have terrible platform. The wheel is generating higher attention because you’ll fall if you relax your abs. When you plank it’s very easy to relax your abs if you’re not making an 11 out of 10 effort to contract them the entire time. I guarantee that if you did, you would generate way more tension. I I would actually say the biggest benefit of this device would be to improve body line and resist shearing force on the spine since it’s basically taking you from a plank position to a position in with your arms are extended overhead. But if my goal was to make my rectus, abdominous, bigger or stronger specifically, this would be pretty far down my list, perhaps even at the bottom.
Plank is good for hitting the TVA if you draw your bellybutton in and keep your RA contracted the entire time. Definitely improves body line and will make you look more tapered from the side view. But for getting a six pack it’s not really necessary. Overloading crunches with weight is all you really need for that imo, but if you don’t incorporate any twisting your side abs will look like shit.
impressive. tips?
already do weighted crunches and russian twists, dragonflags, hanging leg raises and, well, ab wheel, plus some other exercises I rotate. have a decent core but nowhere even near that

Dude, I can't find "yellow" ab wheels on amazon.uk.
The ones that are "yellow" seem to just have an arbitrary colour. Are you sure it's color coded in the UK?

Yes I'm sure. Also like
buy the blue, avoid the red
only the red is dyel
said you can use a blue instead of red but I wouldn't start on a blue, maybe progress after a few months of yellow

For example, is there a difference between these colours, or is it just for aesthetics?

The best advice I can give is to go slowly, particularly on the eccentric portion of the exercise, and really try to feel the muscles stretching and contracting through its full range of motion. If you do this correctly, you honestly don’t even need weights at all. Easily the biggest mistake I see in ab training is people using a lot of speed and momentum. The moves you’re doing are good especially the Russian twist. My number one recommendation for ab training is to do decline crunches, very slowly and alternate between twisting left, middle (regular symmetric crunch), and twisting, right. Try to see if you can bring your torso all the way against your thigh when you come up as you twist.
I would also suggest switching from hanging leg raises to forearm, supported leg raises. I don’t know what you call that thing with the pull up bar on it, you know the thing I’m talking about every gym has one, but use that for leg raises. Hold for a second at the top and come down as slow as you can. Hanging raises are just too taxing on your grip and people curve their butt under to try to get their feet higher. If you are relying on your abs alone to raise your legs, they won’t come up much higher than 90°
>different colours indicate different resistances
How exactly is this done? What's the ranking of the different colours?
picrel, bought it from someone on faceberg for $5
This colour is for beginners if you have 0 muscles, if you want to tone it you should go for blue or red ones, don't listen to those who talk shit about red ones
Yeah they're like 20 dollars and give you a workout.
I've never used one.
Sold. I'm buying one rn.
Brilliant for toned abs, and so much more.
I might buy one soon.
>toned

It truly changed my life.
I don't know what it is.

Yeah, these do actually work your abs, I used one in college.
I think you roll it back and forth with your feet under your desk to tone your calf muscles.
yes, probably one of the best equipment in terms of cost to gains ratio
good for core + shoulders + never having back pain again
Ahh yes the Dyel Wheel.
You too can be dyel for the low price of $19.99
better than most ab exercises. i fucking hate ab exercises. a million reps to get a little burn.
buy the blue, avoid the red
only the red is dyel
Yeah definitely recommend.
Someone post the sex motorcycle greentext
test
3 sets of 6 rollouts
Full on ab Dom's for days
They must work
no don't get the grey one you'll quickly need to upgrade it
I just bough a random all black one from amazon for 9 quid.
should've started with a yellow and maybe progressed to a red or purple. black will be useless.
They're adjustable

Why do I get so much ab-muscle soreness from it then?

I dont understand how a plank is even that great. You dont even move the muscle, its purely isometric.

Only if you get a yellow one
God it took me forever to progress to yellow from to blue.

Did the seller say if it was calibrated? You might have been ripped off
Once you get the blancing down, it's actually a very efficient form of transportation.
