@H:Do we agree but for semantics? Hyperextension's an injury. A simpler, more obvious example: The elbow, depending on how much force caused its hyper-ex, will require at least a short time-out. Tho cumulative effects of oft-repeated low-force hypers will add up to a worse injury, each incident's noticeably painful on its own. If you can hold a heavy DL in finish position without screaming in pain, your back isn't quite hyperextended.

There's a big difference between extension and hyperextension. In normal extension the lumbar region is extended and the hips are in slight anterior rotation. In hyperextension the hips severely rotate downwards/anteriorally, causing the lumbar and thoracic spine to take a very unnatural curvature which is everything but healthy.
Disregarding the terminology/different definitions we both agree; the back must be locked in normal extension and the movement comes from the hips.

@K:Pandour's gymnastics were light-years beyond pushups. The problem with working out like Pandour, especially for big guys, (he was 5'6" tops), is that most of us aren't strong enough to even get started! The great virtue of weights is that no matter how big,small, weak, or strong you are, you CAN find a weight to work with effectively.

@H:Lumbar hyperextension's a common term for what's actually merely -full- extension. Aside from that, you're right, but : Such exercises -should- be done with the spine remaining in isometric full extension through the entire movement: Glutes & hams, are much stronger than the small muscles of the spine, so any weight that challenges them will too much for the back, except isometrically. The theoretical ideal of keeping the lumber spine in isometric neutral under such loads is un-doable.

@MO7dt pyramid is usually used to go heavier each set. It's not like a "real" pyramid.
-
he said he starts light and gets heavier and he also mentions he pyramids up, surely that would mean getting lighter as pyramids get narrower as you go up?
