How to do it

Kneeling with the wheel in front. Roll forward **keeping your pelvis tucked and lower back flat**, only as far as you can hold that position, then pull back by squeezing the abs. Your control sets the range, not your arms. You feel the whole abdomen and the lats. If your lower back arches, you went too far: that is where people get hurt.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
