Reverse Hyperextensions
This exercise is widely regarded as one of the most effective posterior chain exercises, particularly for the muscles in the lower back and glutes.
Sure, it requires a fancy machine, but if you have access to one, we highly recommend giving it a try.
There are a few different ways to perform the movement, depicted here are faster reps that employ momentum from the weight to produce a significant stretch on the lower back when the hips are flexed. This creates space between the vertebrae and strength in the commonly weak muscles of the low back.
All in all, reverse hyperextensions can add a valuable dimension to most training programs, helping to develop strength and also in a therapeutic sense by working the stabilizer muscles without loading the spine.
