Keep your core engaged and slowly roll the barbell forward, extending your arms straight ahead. 4. Lower your torso towards the ground, maintaining a straight line from your head to your knees. 5. Pause briefly in this extended position, ensuring your core remains tight. 6. Engage your abdominal muscles and slowly pull the barbell back towards your body, returning to the starting position. 7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on maintaining control and stability throughout.
