Barbell Ab Rollout

A challenging core exercise using the barbell to target the abdominals.

Instructions

• Begin on your knees with a barbell in front of you, hands shoulder-width apart gripping the barbell.
• Position the barbell against your knees and keep your core tight.
• Slowly roll the barbell forward by extending your arms and rolling it away from your knees.
• Continue to roll as far as you can go without arching your lower back.
• Pause for a moment, then pull the barbell back towards your knees to return to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Letting the lower back sag or arch excessively.
• Not engaging the core throughout the movement.
• Rolling out too quickly without control.
• Not using a full range of motion.
