    How to: Barbell Standing ab rollout

    1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell in front of you.
    2. Engage your core and slowly roll the barbell forward, extending your body without arching your back.
    3. Roll out until your body is in a straight line, then pull yourself back to the starting position using your core muscles.
    4. Repeat for a desired number of repetitions.

    Common Mistakes

    • Allowing the lower back to sag during the rollout.
    • Lifting the head or shoulders too high.
    • Using momentum instead of controlled movement.

    Modifications

    • Use a lighter barbell for beginners.
    • Perform the exercise on your knees instead of standing for additional support.

    Tips

    • Maintain a strong core throughout the movement to prevent injury.
    • Keep your body in a straight line as you roll out.
    • Engage your shoulders while stabilizing the barbell.
