REVERSE HYPEREXTENSIONS
Help to create that shelf booty by incorporating some focus on the lower back as well as overall
glutes and hamstrings. This exercise helps you to build stronger glutes and hamstrings through
isolating them to ensure other body parts don’t take on any of the load. This is also great for
developing strength in hip flexion and extension through a fixed position which can transfer
over into performing more effective and safe compound exercises like good mornings and
Romanian deadlifts
This movement places the majority of the load on the glutes and hamstrings and limits how
much is put onto the lower back, making a safer and more effective movement. It is
extremely important during the movement to allow your glutes to pull you up instead of
pulling the weight with your arms. Again, this exercise also allows for better hip flexion and
extension to transfer on to other core lifts.
