Rod as a gymnastic roller — technique exercises:
- For this exercise you need to take the position for pushups, but instead of the way to the floor with your hands, lean on the fretboard Olympic bar loaded on each side 2-5 kg. This will be your initial position.
- On the exhale, roll the barbell towards your toes feet, lifting the hips. Tip: at run time, follow the back position. Your arms should be perpendicular to the floor, otherwise the load on the press you load the back and shoulders.
- After a short pause on inhale return to starting position.
- Perform your desired number of repetitions.
Note: exercise only for people without back problems.
Variations: as with pushups, the exercise can be performed in the focus not on the toes, and on my knees. This will significantly reduce the complexity.
