Barbell Rollout from Bench

The Barbell Rollout is a core-testing quest! Set your paws on that bar, roll out from the bench like you're reaching over a canyon, and pull back using your mighty abs and lower back. It's tough, it's wild, and it builds a core fit for any forest expedition!

Instructions

1. Set up a barbell on the floor and place a bench behind it.
2. Kneel on the bench while gripping the barbell with both hands, shoulder-width apart.
3. Engage your core and slowly roll the barbell forward, extending your body.
4. Roll out as far as you can while maintaining control.
5. Pause briefly when fully extended, then roll the barbell back to the starting position.
