Description

The barbell rollerout is an advanced core exercise that targets the abs and requires significant stability and strength.

Starting Position

Start in a plank position with your hands on the barbell, wrists directly below shoulders, and core engaged.

Technical Execution

Slowly roll the barbell forward by extending your arms while maintaining a straight body line. Roll out until your body is fully extended, then reverse the movement to return to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Focus on achieving a full range of motion by rolling out as far as you can while keeping control and tension in the core.

Variations

Variations may include using a stability ball or an ab wheel instead of a barbell for a different challenge.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include arching the lower back, allowing the hips to sag, and not maintaining a tight core throughout the movement.

Practical Advice

Ensure proper form by engaging the core, keeping the back flat, and rolling out only as far as you can control.

Additional Notes

It's important to progress gradually with this exercise and not push beyond your limits to avoid injury.
