The Barbell Rollerout From Bench exercise is an advanced core exercise that targets the abdominal muscles and helps improve overall core strength and stability. This exercise requires a barbell and a bench to perform.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Begin by placing a bench on the floor and setting a barbell on the ground next to it.
2. Kneel down in front of the bench and grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Roll the barbell forward along the floor until your body is fully extended in a plank position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
4. Keep your core engaged and your back flat throughout the movement to avoid arching or sagging in the lower back.
5. Hold the plank position for a few seconds, then slowly roll the barbell back towards you to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
7. Make sure to control the movement and avoid using momentum to roll the barbell out and in.
Note: This exercise requires a strong core and good form to avoid strain or injury, so start with a lighter weight or progress gradually as your strength improves. If you experience any discomfort or pain in the lower back while performing this exercise, stop and consult with a fitness professional or healthcare provider.
