Back Extension Bench Exercise With Weight

Description

Adjust the bench for a 45° incline. Position your hips so that they are off the edge and lock your legs under the pad. Grab a weight and press it against your chest. Bend your torso while keeping your back straight until you feel a stretch at the back of your leg. Aim for the greatest range of motion possible in each repetition. On the way up, avoid hyperextending the back by tilting the pelvis backward (posterior tilt). Contract the glutes and the abs.
