Barbell Rollout

4 steps Updated 29/08/2026

Barbell Rollout is a free weights exercise targeting Core (Rectus Abdominis, Obliques) using Barbell.

Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Begin by kneeling on a mat with a barbell placed in front of you. Grip the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing down), hands shoulder-width apart.
  2. Slowly roll the barbell forward, extending your arms and allowing your body to move forward.
  3. Roll out as far as you can while maintaining control and a neutral spine. Your arms should be fully extended, and your body should be in a straight line from your head to your knees.
  4. Engage your core and use your abdominal muscles to pull the barbell back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
