Tips for an Ab Rollout

  • Always maintain a straight back and arms.
  • Take your time and focus on pulling the barbell back towards yourself using your abdominal muscles as you complete the exercise.

The ab rollout is a somewhat more difficult core exercise that if done improperly can worsen injuries to the lower back and other muscles.I can think of several advantages for an athlete to pursue this exercise once they have mastered the fundamental strength and form required.

Whole Engagement: Rather than concentrating just on the upper and lower abs rollouts test and activate the entire core including the rectus abdominis external and internal obliques.

Simple Periodization: It’s quite easy to periodize them linearly allowing you to precisely monitor your development with them.No speculative study on power increases.

Athletes can benefit from learning to watch their torso alignment while approaching periods like lumbar extension or torso rotation which can lead to injury.This exercise calls for coordination and self-awareness in order to prevent damage.
