    How to: Barbell Rollout

    1. Start standing with a barbell in your hands at waist height.
    2. Knee down onto the floor while holding the barbell.
    3. Roll the barbell forward, extending your arms while keeping your hips stable.
    4. When you feel a stretch in your core, pull the barbell back to your starting position.

    Common Mistakes

    • Allowing the back to sag during the rollout.
    • Not engaging the core properly.
    • Rolling out too far too quickly.

    Modifications

    • Perform the rollout from your knees.
    • Use a stability ball for added support.

    Tips

    • Engage your core throughout the movement.
    • Keep your back straight and avoid arching.
