Description

The barbell rollerout from bench is a challenging core exercise that targets the abdominal muscles and requires stability and control.

Starting Position

Start in a plank position with your hands gripping a barbell on a bench and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.

Technical Execution

Slowly roll the barbell forward by extending your arms while keeping your core engaged. Roll out as far as you can control without allowing your back to arch or hips to drop.

Range of Motion

Focus on a controlled range of motion to ensure proper muscle engagement and avoid overextension.

Variations

Variations include using a stability ball instead of a bench or performing the exercise from an incline to adjust the difficulty.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include arching the back, allowing the hips to drop, or extending too far beyond the ability to maintain proper form.

Practical Advice

Engage your core throughout the movement and focus on maintaining a straight line from head to heels.

Additional Notes

It's important to start with a lighter weight or modify the movement until you have developed enough core strength to perform it safely and effectively.
