Barbell Rollouts Technique Instructions

Barbell Roll Outs
Technique - Start by placing the barbell onto the floor and drop to the floor onto your knees. Lean forwards to grip the barbell keeping your back straight. Grip the barbell shoulder width apart with your palms facing downwards and keep your feet off the floor. Inhale as you roll the barbell forwards in a slow, controlled manner keeping your arms and back straight and solid. Do not allow your abs to touch the floor. Exhale as you pull the barbell back to the starting position again keeping your arms straight and solid until you are back in the starting position. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count or allow your abs muscles to hit a resting point before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise. Repeat this technique for the desired number of reps.
