    2:14 Please next time get someone that knows how to do back extensions because he's hyperextending like crazy, if you want to hurt your spine this is the way to do it. DO NEVER PASS THE NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN DOING BACK EXTENSIONS!!!

    Back Extension was done with atrocious form, you should not be hyperextending the lower back like that. Whether your goals are for hypertrophy, injury prevention, or strength you shouldn't be creating motion from the lower back in that way. It should be thought of as a bridge, think of how your lower back shouldn't be extending in this way during a deadlift, kettlebell swing, or squat

    When doing the back extension, the knees should be slightly bent to ensure that the hamstrings are not being engaged. Also, the extension should only come up to the point when the body is almost straight. Going beyond that point into hyperextension engages the glutes and hamstrings. The reps should be done much slower to ensure that the targeted muscles are doing the work instead of momentum. Lastly, if you are doing all of the previously mentioned techniques, you really don't need a weight plate.

    Not to mention he's rolling his back forward/curling it. Doing that to your back under load is awful. Should be hinging at the hips and only going down as far to keep that spine neutral like that, like a deadlift or cable pullthrough.

    One, the roman chair is flat, this is a back extention bench. Two, there is no point in hyperextending your back on the incline, you just lose tension and nothing gets trained at that angle (unless your paralell, like the romen chair, which again, this is not). Also, twisting and bending like in the last exercise is not great in the long run.

    Problems: Where's the mention of glutes as the 'target'? if the pad is positioned correctly and a natural back posture is maintained - it's 90% glutes doing the hinging. A great exercise. There's too much back curling of the lumbar spine ... dangerous for many people. And as others have mentioned - hyper-extending at the top - not necessary and potentially dangerous for the spine. This is low grade advice. Not a good video.
