Finally!! It was so refreshing to see someone who actually knows what they are talking about and is distinguishing the differences between working the lumbar extensors (back muscles for arching backward) and the hamstrings and glutes. Nice to see that you referred to this as a back extension and NOT a back hyperextension exercise (hyperextension is incorrect form)! The only suggestions that I have is to move the pads higher, just below the front hip bones (ASIS - Anterior Superior Illiac Spine) and also keep your knees slightly bent when doing the exercise. Both of these adjustments will help you concentrate on engaging the lumbar (low back) extensors instead of your hamstrings. Finally, the reps should be done very slowly in order to engage the proper muscles over the full range of motion instead of relying on momentum to execute the exercise.

Lmao cavemen in the corner smashing coconuts. .

Great video, Thanks! I used this machine for the first time today, never knew what it was for.

Lower back pumps from the back extension is the most insane feeling ever lol best feeling too

Great advice however I would like to add that if you have lower back pain working out the gluts is probably a good idea too (so is working out all the other core muscles)

u have clear my doubt . great video

This is an awesome video..

Good tips👍

I am turning 66. My brother gave me your link. I fell off my roof 5 years ago and fractured my scarum putting me in a wheelchair for a year. The VA gave me Percocet aswell. 8 months ago the stopped the Percocet. I have done PT for the last couple years. I just got a planet fitness membership but wanted to talk to my brother about this. so, he said look at your videos. While in the wheelchair I got up to 300lbs. but now down to 285. I want to get the weight off and strength everything else. I am now retired and have a greenhouse and want to get stronger to make my gardening easier. Any tips; is this video right for me?

thanks for that tip

Best tip.👍

This guy is creating fitness content since 12 years ago. Respect 🫡

This is best for back pain I have it before

Just got back from the gym and a new coach told me to change the movement I felt confused first and than after I watched your video he was right first time I got a useful trick thanks to you and him

i fucking love this channel

helpful!

oh my gosh you sound just like Vince Vaughn great video thanks

Helpful

V nice info

I gave up squatting and deadlifting due to a bad right knee, my scoliosis but especially my kyphosis, lordosis pelvic tilt, those last few things have made me scale back even bicep curls dramatically, it’s why I never do shoulder press either. Putting weight above my back in a standing/vertical position just compressed my back especially in the lordosis affected area of the lower/mid back. It’s a fulcrum that simply doesn’t exist for most people. The Roman chair/hyperextension chair (though you shouldn’t actually hyper extent) does the opposite, it provides some traction, the lordosis doesn’t matter so much, and the knees are out of the loop completely.

Awesome tips, anyone ever tell you that your voice sounds like Vince Vaughn lol

phenominal, phenominal, phenominal piece of information! I had to say it three times! Thank you! will incorporate this move in my workouts to strenghthen the lower back! Blessings! Lisa Guzman

Okay, thank goodness i was actually doing them correctly. Thanks for the video

Ive always had problems with this exercise, feel a lot of back pain doing it, no problem dead lifting or doing anything else with pretty heavy weight. Hopefully correction if my posture will help.

Do I go on App Store to download? I subscribed. I would like to get your workouts. I’m 55. Have significant spine issues due to arthritis. Thoracic and low lumbar. I need to strengthen much as possible. I like this video. You explain very well. Thx man. Appreciate it very much. Have a good day.

I have been able to use one of these stabilizers for a long time, but for the first time my new gym (in my apartment-much cheaper) does not have one. I have tried substituting a work out ball-is there any other way or machine I can use to be able to correctly do this lift/motion?

great form I am a chiropractor and see people extending too much jamming facet joints good video.

I work in a factory doing a lot of standing what exercises can I do to prevent the fatigue in my back and legs and feet

I find deadlift boring and are kinda worried I will become unfocused due to that, so this helpful

Great explanation. I was using the wrong technique.

I wish i saw this video 2 yrs ago. Welp..that explains why i saw gains in my glute workouts.

Amazing: that's just like crunch where you must bring your hips and head closer, and not use your legs (hip flexors). So just like crunchs, it's a short range movement. I really got it now, thanks! Now is there any risk in working in dynamic?

ball slam baby

i have a deep arch in my spline and no its not from a tilted pelvis, i don't have a sit down job i've always had this arch my whole life so squats and dead lifts are incredibly hard for me and puts huge strain on my back, even doing leg raises my back will give before my abs

It's Vince Vaughn behind the scenes of Dodgeball...

2:40, 3:10 for glutes 3:34 for erector spinae

This was actually very good. I went to Jeff and he was doing to much lol

👍👍👍

Ah... no wonder .. thanks man

Can this double as an ab workout or do you know of any machines that do both?

Good explanation! Greetings from Germany ✌️

thanks.... was doing it all wrong....

It always trips me out when a guy knows what he's talking about, but clearly neglects leg days

chronic back pain here.... and I've been going to the gym for a year with a trainer. I'm definitelyyyy going to try this, thank you!!!

What if you have a herniated disc/sciatica? Should you really go into flexion?

it is not rotation, it is flexion

how do you know how far to come up??? only to parallel to the floor?

Well this helps for the muscles along the spine, but it doesn't do much for the transverse muscles across the back, so one of each workout would have been helpful

wow, i have cronic lower back pain.... now i know why hyperextensions werent helping

How often should we do this exercises?

What about with twists? Whats the best way to add twists in?

When i do this machine im sore in my glutes and lower back is that a good thing

this is a really good exercise for strengthening your lower back.

Everyone says squat and dead’s for back.... true it works the hell out of the muscles , but also compresses your spine like an accordion and rapidly wears out ur discs ..... by time the pain and problems happen, it’s too late the damage is done and the discs don’t regenerate .....

Can this be helpful for heirnated discs

Why don't you include inversion table..

my right knee feels like it's going to snap when i do these.. i have bad knees

I'm more impressed with that guy's body at 1:47 HOLY SHIT... Is that a 6x shirt!?

What’s the brand on that extension machine?

I did the same and it caused me more back pain! :(

What is this bench called

Thank you for all the enlightenment... But I have something like spondylitis/disk issues... Doctor suggest to avoid forward bend. But how am I supposed to strengthen my lower lumber region at gym?....

The guy in the back playing whack a mole

Will this help straighten your back?

Is this safe for someone with a blown disc?

Always thought you’re not supposed to bend the spine. I’ll try it. I have a bad back. Degenerative disc

Been doing it wrong this whole time

He just slapped his own ass ... LOL not once but twice haha !

Does these exercises affect the patient

is this vince vaughn?

Lower trap exercises

Somebody can tell me in simple english what kind of exercise i must do if i have back pain ?

Omg thank you, done it wrong

That was flexion not rotation

4:34

Vince Vaughn?

this machine is like 700$ :\ ... instant buy.

with Herniated Discs can i do this exercise?

and the best cameraman of the year award goes to...
