What does the ab-wheel train ?

I mean - Can it be used in some specific skill or conditioning ?

 

Or it is just a core exercise that builds to nothing ?

 

 

PS - I can't do a full ab wheel rollout, It feels impossible at the moment

That was good read.

 

I guess it is just - If you train ab wheels then you get stronger in ab wheels and not GST ( I wish it had some real benefit in carryover to GST).

 

Oh well, back to F1 & H1

It will help for Handstand because it works abs (PPT) and upper trapezius (scapular elevation and protraction).

This kind of exercise is already covered in Handstand One, it is considered as mobility work.
