[simson99w]

Never see this machine in Hong Kong

I love these reverse hypers with the footpad, The ones with the strap are fucking garbage.

what does this workout?

[Termychinese]

@clat1 you dynamically contract your hip extensors and lumbar back extensors and statically contact your hamstrings.

I love how many comments are short name followed by numbers (dve8692, aks 73, clr18287) and they all say how they wish their gym had one, and two have some thumbs up.

[jmborr]

looks like a great exercise

[aks73]

i so wish my gym had one of these

[FordGT555]

I've never, ever seen one of these, either. I've been a member of two huge university gyms, even, and none had this. Looks pretty cool.

[clr18287]

i've never seen one of these in a gym, ever. i wish i had, because i'd join it. that's an awesome exercise.

[xJosebx]

fuck.. can you do this without the machine?

[i10TD]

@xJosebx i guess, im doing it now on my bed.. feet outside of the be, laying face down, and lift my legs to flex my back

[clevelandjkd]

Viking man is totally correct! I had a mis-diagnosed fused vertabae (L-4 & L-5) Turned out they were jammed and only looked that way on film. Anyway the reverse hyper not only pulled them back into correct alignment but made my back, glutes and hammies strong as hell! Thank You Louie Simmons you're da man!

[dve8692]

damn i wish my gym had one.

[VikingMan44]

You're actually SUPPOSED to let the weight swing forward. It's one of the most beneficial aspects of a reverse hyper. It creates a pumping action in the vertebrea, propoting blood flow and nutrient delivery to the disks.

[huskerpower51]

You dont have to do that, I tried it and it doesnt feel right to me, so when I do it now I dont let it swing

[Trollrogue1]

No, you don't have to let it swing, but then like Louie says...you aren't doin it properly and you're losing out terrible.

[fatcat669]

you can do it both ways. i own the reverse hyper pro and i use the swinging motion with heavy weight (4 plates) for rehab / prehab / recovery, and then i use pretty light weight (2x25 or 2x35) on each side and do slow and controlled reps with less ROM. its the only machine I use.

[xXxtimmytoughguyxXx]

do they actually work? i only have a hamstring curl machine at my gym and its not very adequate for results. iwa going to build a reverse hyper and glute ham raise to use for extra workouts in my basement. will it actually help? since i know its those areas that are weakest. you say its all you use i just want to know if its worth building.
