How to: Barbell Rollout
- Stand with a barbell in front of you and grasp it with both hands.
- Engage your core and hinge at the hips as you begin to roll the barbell forward.
- Extend your body as far as comfortable, keeping a neutral spine.
- Pause briefly at the extended position, then use your core to roll back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Letting your back sag during the rollout.
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled movements.
- Not engaging the core throughout the exercise.
Modifications
- Perform the rollout from your knees instead of standing for a reduced challenge.
- Use an ab wheel instead of a barbell for better stability.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Start with a shorter range of motion if you're new to the exercise.
- Maintain a neutral spine to avoid back strain.
