Exercise Ball Reverse Hyper Extension

[americahealth]

What I like about the trainee performing the exercise compared to other videos is she control the weight through the entire range of motion and instead of using momentum to lift the weight. Quality reps.

@americahealth If only everyone I saw at the gym did this... Too many idiots flinging their dumbbells around thinking they're hot shit.

may be some dumbbells between the ankles

[ajbalagtas]

AWESOME!

great video, good idea for when you have no reverse hyperextenion machine ( for reverse hyper machine louie simmons invented) ths exercise is only dangerous in the hands of the untrained, well impressed!

We only have a small gym so no Westside hyper machines !

a dumbell between the feet will add extra resistance

@morry27 Stretch bands could provide good resistance as well.

how about good mornings, are they good supstitute excercise for this (or classic hyperext.)?

go up to your URL bar, put a Q between the words you and tube and then press enter or click go

@KosmataNeman In a good morning or classic hyper, the lumbar spine is loaded (well, it's fighting to stay in extension against the load of your body or the barbell you have on your back). The reason the reverse-hyper is unique is because the trunk is supported by the bench (or ball in this case).

The entire range of motion at the bottom required for it to be classified as restoration is absent.

this is just a dangerous superman

nice quick instructions thanx

[athlete365]

could use a little more ROM on lower part. Can you explain #1 exercise for restoration. Don't know what you mean.

[attache678]

Reverse hypers are used a lot by powerlifters as an assistance exercise for the posterior chain, and also as a recovery tool since they provide a safe way to work on lumbar mobiity, as powerlifters can develop some bad back problems from the huge compressive forces on the spine.

[attache678]

basically, you can put your lumbar vertebrae through a larger range of motion and "open them up" so to speak, allow some additional blood flow into your intervertebral discs

[snakeinthegrass20]

Stupid...Not enough ROM, too dangerous to be done at proper speed. This exercise is #1 for restoration, the range is too short for that
