HOW TO PERFORM
- Load a barbell with round plates of the same size on each end, and kneel behind it holding the bar with an overhand grip about shoulder width.
- Brace and roll the bar forward as far as you can hold a flat back.
- Pull it back to the start with the abs, without letting the hips sag or the lower back arch.
FORM TIPS
- Go only as far as you can hold a flat back. The range grows as the brace does.
