I did them with dumbbells instead of a barbell.

it's funny you ask that. lately i'd been using dumbbells, but yesterday i used the barbell for the first time in months and hit my belly on the first rep. i didn't realize how much my stomach would be in the way! it was more comfortable for me to bring the bar under my belly, but i don't know that i felt my muscles working as hard doing it that way. i think you have to do whichever is more comfortable for you at this point.

good luck!

Oh boy, I gave up on these awhile ago due to low back issues.
I usually sub out sitting on the floor with a doubled up tension band wrapped around my feet. I row that way. No belly challenges then.
