Pinching in spine - ab rollout

Postby muchluv » Fri Jul 01, 2011 3:36 pm

I love ab rollouts and I hadn't had this problem before, but recently when I do them I get a pinching in my lower spine. I read it's because of arching the back and it helps to look at the floor when doing them. I tried this but it doesnt help too much. It seems to pinch when I get closer to the floor. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so how did they resolve it? I think a lot of it might be in the hip positioning. If I keep my hips tilted back so my back is straight I couldn't complete a rep (on the third set), perhaps this is the right position though.

Solved my own problem. letting bottom of legs and feet come up on the way down, instead of keeping them on the ground.
