Is a barbell rollout equivalent to a rollout with the little lawn mower tires with drill rod shafts you buy at Dick's?

Ralph,

The only time they would be different is when you have big plates on the bar. For example you are super-setting hang cleans and roll outs. In this case the range of motion and angle of tension is different, but, not hugely. Too, the barbell is more durable then those wheel things. If you got it use it.

Ralph,

Too, I guess I should emphasize the article that I link to about the Anterior Chain, October 8th. He emphasizes working up to roll outs, because it is possible to really wreak yourself otherwise, both abdominal strain and lumbar injury. So work up slow and steady.
