as he starts to get more fatigued trying to find leverage. 0:57 is Hamstrings, but not a very effective way of working a flexor group since the mid range is the only one really getting any work. I have read some comments here, instead of bashing the guy, how about helping him.
Here is my take and not meant to insult the lifter. The first movement is mainly Spinal Erectors, with the Hamstring as a stabilizer. Even though long head Hamstring crosses the Hip and Knee and you could say is more then a stabilizer, his hips would have to be externally rotated to truly be able to say that......which they are not. He adjusts his Arms at 0:23 not because I think he is not "comfortable" in that position, but to recruit the Lats. He changes his hand position again and again
That's smart, ignore scientific evidence and instead listen to a guy selling a 2,000 dollar table with handles and who has about as much qualifications as Bam Bam Bigelow. I don't know why I'm wasting my time though. Anyone who says "I don't care what scientific information you have" is a fucking idiot. Yeah, nothing helps a disc problem like adding a bunch of pressure to the disc....
Write back if you ever educate yourself with some actual research.
I would question whether you even had a herniated disc, and if you did, what condition your spine actually is in now. Yes I do lift, but because I care about the longevity of my spine, I use core stabilization exercises since that's what the muscles in the region were designed for. Walking and simply strengthening your core would have been far more effective than what you did. There's a reason you're supposed to lift boxes with your legs and not just bend over.
lol @ all of these q-tips talking smack on an exercise that is extraordinarily helpful in dead development with very little chance of injuring one's back in the process.
Dont listen to these haters, Glute/hamdevelopment is extremely important. There is VERY little back involved in this movement. Keep up the good work but I would drop the hamstring curls. This exercise is used primarily for help in the deadlift. keep training
Yes, enjoy your back, because EVERYONE on Youtube knows, if you do anything to strengthen your back, you will injure it, and heaven help you if you do any exercises where your knees move, because they will be destroyed too. In fact, instead of posting on youtube, maybe you should just spend your life watching youtube, doing chair-sits and keyboard reps.
@jecnunez Good thing he's doing this workout. It's definitely worth the risk for all the professional sports he's undoubtedly playing, or for all the situations he's going to find himself in in life where he's laying on his stomach and needing to press something away from his back with his feet. I changed my mind, you're right, there's nothing stupid and unnecessary about this at all. In fact, I think I had it backwards, flexion and extension is awesome for the lumbar spine.....
@Diddle1414 Do you know what the reverse hyperextension is for? You might want to research Louie Simmons and the point behind this exercise. You're probably lazy so here it goes: It's meant to massage the lumbar discs by gently forcing SLIGHT flexion and extension of the lumbar spine. It does wonders for healing this section of the column as well as helping out flexibility in the area. I have a herniated L5/S1 and doing this helped me rehab quite a lot.
@jecnunez Kicking weighted legs up behind you isn't gentle and slight flexion/extension. Walking is gentle and slight flexion/extension. Why don't you look up some research by someone who's actually qualified, like Dr. Stuart McGill, and not someone just trying to push an overpriced machine.
@Diddle1414 You go ahead and walk all you want. My back is fixed and it's thanks to heavy squats, deadlifts and reverse hyperextensions. You have obviously never tried the machine and don't know what you're talking about. Do you even lift?
@jecnunez If you have L5-S1 damage you should take a look at the work of Guy Voyer. Spinal Decompression, Myofascial release work (this is NOT foam rolling technique which does more work along the middle of the belly of the fascia and less at the points of insertion.)
@acehiflush360 No problem. GHR benches work for GHR and band reverse-hypers. You can probably get a glute-ham raise for the same price that preacher curl.
some guys...like myself. dont have access to one of those machines. not many gyms have them they are pretty rare. so we have to make due with what we have
i agree foot21...but i still tink thats not a great exercise for hamstring...dont have machine but u have dumbells..... so do a stiff leg deadlift.... and on this video seems he is target more his butt than hamstring... ..................
its not as good as having a machine but your back cant tell the difference if you got dumbells between your feet or not. its just the added weight as you pull your legs up that matters so its not a bodyweight exercise. reverse hyper is supposed to target your glutes (butt) hamstrings and lower back. all the great squatting and deadlifting muscles. hence why it is used by so many powerlifters. it is a prehab and rehab machine for the lower back. and is a completely different movement from a SLDL
Sweet revenge against all the squat rack curlers
