Barbell Ab Rollout

A progression from the kneeling version, this full rollout from a push-up position trains your entire anterior chain. It demands core tension, shoulder control, and coordination for effective results.

Instructions

1. Begin in a push-up position while gripping a lightly loaded barbell.
2. Engage your abs and roll the bar forward, lifting your hips as the bar moves toward your feet.
3. Keep your arms perpendicular to the floor and maintain back alignment.
4. At the peak contraction, reverse the motion and roll the bar back to the starting position.
5. Repeat with control, avoiding momentum.
