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

What would be proper form here? Not going past straight, slower movement? I always thought this movement was for the hamstrings, my hamstrings always burn after I use this thing.

The lower back should remain flat. Once it begins to roll, you have passed a safe range.

Yeah?
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.

Absolutely, plus hyperextending your back is dangerous since it puts far too much pressure on the spine! You should stop when your back is in a straigth line with your legs.

Viewers please don’t hyperextend your back the way he is doing it. Hyperextension like this is really bad for your back. Please forgive me I don’t mean this in a bad way. I suffered from a back injury and just don’t want anyone else to end up with a back injury. it’s not fun at all.

That is not a roman chair. It's a hyperextension something.
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.
Thank you!!! Really excellent technique and I didn't think about doing dips with this unit! Thanks!

I noticed the hyperextension when raising up too. the moves are good though, just his form needs work.
not sure why these machines are called "hyper" as hyperextension is poor form. come up to straight.
is this your equipment? who makes it?
in the back extensions, is he hyper extending?
The bench used in this video appears to be one of quality and possibly commercial grade to be used in gyms. However, could you let us know the brand and where one identical to this can be purchased?
I would add two: single leg back extensions (crazy pump)….regular back extension with tycker chin to target glute max! Fwiw
Why are you over extending when you come up? Is that not bad for your lower back and spine?
You can prolly do a row off the handles?
What model is that?

Adding weight to an exercise doesn’t make it a new exercise. So I’m counting that 3 of these aren’t different. Useful otherwise.
Watching this hurt my spine. Way to much extension at the top. You should NEVER swing to the point if a curve of your spine. Come up just til about the even/ neutral area. You should look like a stick.

@@jacksonfive2006 look at other trainers and their explanation and you'll get what hes doing incorrectly.
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.
Watch this guy instead: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIN-15mxmZbSY7Q.html

Hate these! Wish they'd stop referring to them as Roman chairs when they're hyperextension units. Its function is literally in its name: HYPEREXTENSION I'm looking for exercises specific to an actual traditional Roman chair, not this shit
Side bends are one baaaad excercise for your body. It's not a natural movement for your body. Also your hyperextension is baaaad! Don't you feel any pain in your lower back? Your spine should be neutral. NEVER EVER that hyperextended...
Terrible form! Not only is hyper-extending your lower back bad for your lower back, but it takes tension off your glutes and hamstring, areas that should be engaged fully throughout the movement.
Bad exercices... Bad tecnique Dont do it please 🙏🙏🙏... All exercices have a bad technique and he doing all exercises wrong... Please don't post videos like that
