How to do the Barbell Ab Rollout
- For this exercise you will need to get into a pushup position, but instead of having your hands of the floor, you will be grabbing on to an Olympic barbell (loaded with 5-10 lbs on each side) instead.
- This will be your starting position.While keeping a slight arch on your back, lift your hips and roll the barbell towards your feet as you exhale.
- Tip: As you perform the movement, your glutes should be coming up, you should be keeping the abs tight and should maintain your back posture at all times.
- Also your arms should be staying perpendicular to the floor throughout the movement.
- If you don't, you will work out your shoulders and back more than the abs.After a second contraction at the top, start to roll the barbell back forward to the starting position slowly as you inhale.Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
