Barbell Rollout

Instructions
- Place a mat under your knees. Place the barbell on the floor and grab it with an overhand grip, with your hands shoulder-width apart. Your shoulders position should be directly over the barbell; this is the starting position.
- Keep your knees in a fixed position and roll the bar in front of you until your arms get fully extended in front of your body. Pause, and return to starting position in the opposite direction.
Tips
- Don't let your hips drop at any point in the movement.
- Drive within a comfortable range of motion. You shouldn't strain your lower back.
