I have done them, I think my best was a set of 5 or 6.
Very impressive imo.
Spreading your feet apart helps maintain balance.
Good point.
Try learning the dragon flag.
I'll have a look. How hard is the dragon flag in comparison to ab wheel from toes?
You didn't train with the ab wheel specifically to be able to do them from the toes but rather other excercises et voila you could do ab wheel from toes?
I did ab roller from my knees for years and would occasionally try 1 or 2 from my toes. I worked up to 5 or so over time, but my back suffered for it. Once I got the hang of the dragon flag, I stuck with it. I still do ab roller once in a while, but I can do 30-40 without much effort, and it's boring. The dragon flag is really tough, without wrecking your back. I will do a 15 set quickly, or a 10 set where I hold at the low end for a 3 count on each rep, then hold for a 10 count on the 10th rep. If you can do that, you're probably in the 99th percentile for your age group.

yea it becomes ridiculous after a point. did 66 ab wheel reps 2 days ago. I think they are fun because I progress relatively fast, though probably time to switch gears. I will try the dragon flag in the weekend.
Let us know how it goes. There are lots of how to vids to learn from.
The dragon flag is more controllable. I don't think I messed with the ab wheel from toes much after I mastered it. It must have helped.
