Lower Back Extension With Weight

Description

Set the bench to a 45° angle. Position your hips so that they are suspended in the air and lock your legs under the pad. Grab a weight and press it against your chest. Bend your upper body while keeping your back straight until you feel a stretch in the back of your leg. Aim for the greatest range of motion possible with each repetition. When coming back up, avoid hyperextending your back by rotating your pelvis backward (retroversion). Contract your glutes and abdominals.
