Exercise Instructions
- Kneel on the floor/mat and grasp the barbell with a wider than shoulder width grip. You should have 5-10 lb plates loaded on each side of the barbell.
- Keeping your back and arms straight, slowly roll the barbell out in front of you until your arms are fully extended.
- Tense the abs and slowly roll the barbell back towards your knees.
Ab Rollout Tips:
- Keep your arms and back straight at all times.
- Do the exercise slowly, and concentrate on using your abdominal muscles to pull the barbell back towards you.
- For extra intensity barbell rollouts can be done standing.

I've started to do this exercise and I think it can really benefit me, but I feel my form may not be right -- perhaps my stomach and/or arms are weaker than I thought, but when doing the motions I feel like two things are happening: A) I don't have the strength to go all the way down flat, or B), If I do go flat, I have a tendency to want to actually fall on the floor with my stomach touching the ground.
Until I build up my strength is it better to go half way, or actually all the way and risk touching the floor, but at least that way I get the full motion?
