How to move
Kneel with both hands on a barbell loaded with small plates, under the shoulders.
Roll the bar straight forward as the body lengthens toward the floor, as far as you control without touching down.
Pull it back to the start, the hips coming forward last.
Form cues
Keep the low back from sagging.
Go only as far as the trunk stays braced.
Practice and cautions
No universal dose is assigned. Choose a manageable amount for your current capacity, leave room for controlled repetitions, and allow recovery. A clinician’s individual plan takes priority.
This is movement education, not an assessment or treatment prescription. Stop for sharp or increasing pain, dizziness, numbness or tingling; seek individual guidance for symptoms, injury or restrictions.
