Hyperextension Bench

A hyperextension bench is a piece of exercise equipment designed to work your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings through hyperextension movements.

Key Points

• Adjust the pads to fit your body size.
• Keep your back straight throughout the movement.
• Engage your core for stability.
• Exhale as you lower your torso and inhale as you return to the starting position.
• Control the movement; avoid using momentum.

Common Mistakes

• Rounding the back.
• Using too much momentum.
• Incorrect pad adjustment.
• Not engaging the core.
• Hyperextending the back too far.
