Core strength training: T-bar roller

In the previous core strength training article, we introduced a great action: barbell roller!

Barbell roller is similar to an abdominal muscle wheel, which can train our spine to resist stretching core strength!

Core strength: The ability to maintain the neutral and stable spine during exercise without deformation. Only when the core is stable can the power transmission be smoother and less susceptible to injury!

When there is resistance from the outside during exercise to try to take the spine away, we need to use the core strength To stabilize the resistance of the spine and maintain the normal arrangement of the spine! So in other words, we train the core muscles to better maintain the neutral state of the spine during exercise.

Anti-stretching core force is to use core strength to resist external forces to prevent the spine from being overextended, especially the lumbar spine. Anti-superextivity is an important part of developing core, lumbar spine and pelvic stability.

Imagine if you do not have good core strength to be overextended in daily life and training, you will It is easy to have lumbar spine hyperextension, which makes the lumbar segment bear too much load. The bad posture of pelvic skewed!

Today I will bring you a more difficult barbell roller variation: T-bar roller

As shown in the figure:

Delete one end of the barbell, fix it in the corner, then stretch your hands to support the barbell in a push-up position

Then tense the whole body and roll the barbell left and right (the amplitude does not need to be too large)

Movement requirements: Tighten the abdominal muscles, The pelvis is slightly retracted, clamp the butt and keep the torso stable!

Different from ordinary abdominal wheels or barbell rollers, this action challenges your shoulder stability and also strengthens the body's anti-rotation core strength!

Training tips!

You must turn the barbell while stabilizing the torso remember not to collapse your waist and arch your back.

This is a very difficult action, which is not suitable for some beginners. If you want to reduce the difficulty, you can choose to use a kneeling position!
