Hyperextension
Muscles
Technique
Position yourself face-down on the hyperextension bench with your hips resting on the pad and ankles secured. Cross your arms over your chest or behind your head, and lower your torso down until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Raise your torso back up until your body forms a straight line, without arching your lower back past neutral. Keep the movement controlled rather than using momentum to swing up.
