list_alt Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by kneeling on the floor with a barbell placed on a bench in front of you.
Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Keeping your core engaged and your back straight, slowly roll the barbell forward, extending your arms in front of you.
Continue rolling the barbell forward until your body is fully extended and your arms are overhead.
Pause for a moment at the fully extended position, then slowly roll the barbell back towards your body, returning to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
warning Common Mistakes
Recruiting larger muscle groups to "help" move the weight instead of isolating Abs — swinging momentum or shifting the torso takes tension off the muscle this exercise is meant to train.
Locking out too fast or letting the elbows drift outward under load — controlling the eccentric (lowering) phase is where most of the muscle-building stimulus happens.
Using an asymmetric grip or uneven bar path, which can quietly overload one side of the body over repeated sets.
Progressing the load or reps too quickly before technique is consistent across every rep of every set.
