Technical description: Barbell Ab Rollout - Abdominals
- Go into a pushup position and grab a barball instead of having your hands on the floor.
The elbows should not be extended totally and the arms should stay vertical during the whole exercise.
Arch your back slightly ( like shown in the illustration above ) and maintain this back-posture during the whole exercise.
- Roll the barbell towards your feet, lift your hips and exhale.
The arms should stay vertical when you roll the barbell. Don't move too far, so that your abs lose contraction.

- Roll the barbell back forward slowly and inhale.
Only move as far as your abdominals can support the arched back-position. ( don't let your hips hang )
