The ab wheel rollout is one of the toughest ab exercises, but have you tried the barbell ab rollout? This variation on the traditional ab wheel rollout is more suitable for some and harder for others, so below, we cover why.
Barbell ab rollouts involve the same movement and work the same muscle groups — namely, your rectus abdominal muscles, shoulders, arms, erector spinae (spine stabilizers), transverse abdominis (deeper core muscles), lats and chest. But this time, you replace the ab wheel with a loaded barbell.
