Coach's Tips

The barbell back extension strengthens your lower back and helps improve stability and posture by working your core.

1. Lie face down on the hyperextension bench and secure your feet in the footrests.

2. Position your upper body to hang off the bench.

3. Hold the barbell in front of your chest or cross your arms to secure the barbell in place.

1. Slowly lower your upper body until it is parallel to the ground.

2. Be careful not to excessively bend your waist.

3. Use your back and waist to lift your upper body and return to the starting position.

Inhale when lowering your upper body, and exhale when raising your upper body.

1. Avoid excessive weights and prioritize proper form.

2. Be careful not to excessively bend or arch your back.

3. Do not use momentum; move slowly and with control.
