Barbell Roll

Video coming soon...

The barbell roll is a core exercise that primarily engages the abdominal muscles.

The barbell is used to roll the body forward and backward, targeting the abs.

Position yourself in front of the barbell with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Bend your knees and hinge at the hips to lower your torso and grip the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Engage your core, keep your back straight, and lift the barbell off the ground by extending your hips and knees.
As you stand up, keep the barbell close to your body, maintaining a neutral spine position.
Lower the barbell back down to the starting position by bending your knees and hinging at the hips, maintaining control and a straight back throughout the movement.

Start with a light weight to master the technique and engage your abs throughout the movement.
Keep your core tight and your back straight to prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
Focus on rolling the barbell towards your shins, using your abs to control the movement.
Exhale as you roll the barbell away from your body, feeling your abs contract and engage even more.
Avoid using momentum by maintaining a slow and controlled pace throughout the exercise.
Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine to activate your deep core muscles.
As you roll the barbell back towards your body, visualize your abs working hard to bring it in.
