Great video to emphasize this is a glute exercise not a back exercise. Doing this properly and the back will exercise just fine too. One recommendation, put you awareness in the spot where the glute meets the hamstring. Think about firing that spot to lift the upper body.

Great video! Can this machine also be used (I assume so) for the lower back specifically targeting that area (kind of like reverse sit ups)? *I just bought this machine for my home gym! P.s.: my wife says I have pretty good "core / abs" but that I am flabby on the sides and lower back.

Thank you. I had hip surgery about a year ago and we were looking for different machines to use at the gym to help strengthen all the muscles surrounding the hip in the gluteus area as I have a ton of weakness there. So you're saying this machine is better to use for glute strengthening and not so much the lower back?

Get the pad an inch or two below your hip crease so your hips can rotate fully. I think she would benefit from lowering the pad more.

It is meant to be hypo back extension not a glute exercise. And I have been tough to use a set of dumbbells and do a fly with your arms so you do the hole back in one hit. Only rase as high as a straight back and only go down as far as the dumbbells touching the floor with slightly bent elbow's. Get the pad well down past your dip. This works so well.

their is nothing wrong with training your lower back one of the most neglected areas. If you dont train you back is will eventually break.

@XXLRebel 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but keep a straight back(keep everything tight as if you were to squat) and don't listen to her advice about not hyperextenxing at the top. For a good and full contraction you want to slightly hyperextend(what feels comfortable for you and is within your range of motion). I'm a weightlifter and this is an amazing exercise done that way. Try to work up to getting a barbell on your back to mimic a back squat position.

Hyperextension is bad but so is rounding your upper back and tucking your chin for this one. Put your spine in neutral position and keep it there. The exercise works muscles all the way up the back and I don't want my upper back muscles developing in a rounded position. Just keep your spine neutral and look in the side mirror so you don't go beyond neutral into hyperextension at the top.

@susanniebergallfitness138 2 жыл бұрын

Actually rounding your back and tucking your chin keeps you from over extending your back and and keeps the exercise in your glutes which is the entire point

@garrettethridge785 Жыл бұрын

No, Susan he is absolutely right. Anytime you load the thoracic spine you need a neutral spine to prevent injury.

Isn’t it called back extensions for a reason? I mean by tucking in your head you disengage the spinal erectors. It’s not called a glute machine. Just trying to understand how you would approach back extensions.

@susanniebergallfitness138 2 жыл бұрын

It is far better off used as a Glute exercise as I talk about in the video. Many people do call it a hip extension When used to try and reach the back, most people way over extend their back which causes more issues than it helps. Leave this to the glutes
