bridges, planks, braces, hanging leg raises... best I can think of right now other than compound lifts like deads and squats and chin ups.

I love it, I forgot about those excercises. gym teacher in highschool used to have us do those during wrestling classes. They had square boards with carpet on the backs of them.

Not for the unconditioned user. Ab wheels in that instance may represent a Back and Deltoid problem.
