Standing Barbell Rollout

Standing Barbell Rollout is an advanced isolation pull using barbell. It loads Abs.

Why this lift

The Standing Barbell Rollout is a advanced isolation pull lift. It primarily loads Abs. Shoulders, Lats, Triceps help. You need barbell. Most programs place it after your main compounds, as accessory work. You may also hear it called Standing Barbell Rollouts.

Loaded carries, crunches, and the brace on every compound already train the abs. Extra core work is seasoning, not the meal. This one asks for control and existing strength. Skip it until the easier variations in this library feel solid.
