Abs

Standing Barbell Rollout

Starting position

  • From standing, bend forward and grip a loaded barbell in front of the feet.
  • Arms straight, abs braced.

Execution

  • Roll the bar slowly forward until the body is almost straight.
  • Roll back with a firm core.

Common mistakes

  • Sagging in the lower back.
  • Rolling too far before you are strong enough – practise kneeling first.
