How To Get a Strong Low Back | Back Extensions Done Right!
Here’s my variation of back extensions. I wanted to make this video because I see (what I consider) most people doing these very inefficiently.
I think if done correctly back/hyper extensions can be a game changer for mid to lower back development and fix any postural issues but the key is to due them correctly. For me that means purposefully flexing and extending during the movement to fully contract your spinal erectors.
Let me know what you think of this variation in the comments below!

I need to train with him! This guy knows what he’s doing
The second exercise is everything I've ever needed without a hyper extension bench, what a guy.

Did 10 of the 2nd version. And my lower back is pumped 💪

Awesome tips, I’m basically training to your videos for the past few months. Learning a lot and actually working the muscles I’m targeting. This lower back one is great
OMG how have never seen this free standing lower back exercise before. Love this channel
"I do 'em a little different than most people." That's Ryan for ya. Good stuff.
Love how down to earth and real Ryan is. NO BS JUST REAL TALK
As someone who took a serious lower back injury years ago, I can say almost no one is paying enough attention to lower back strength. This is more valuable than a million influencer videos about how to get hot abs.
I believe I just did my very first lower back workout in 20 years! Never felt this burn before. Thank you dear sir!!! 👌
Damn, that’s brilliant. Thanks a lot. Those types of movements and illiopsoas movements fixed my back pain.
This is one of the best changes to an exercise to better hit a muscle I’ve ever seen! Thank you
20 standing... Probably the best pump I've ever had in my lower back. Definitely incorporating these weekly. Very good stuff!
This really worked! I too got a back pump after 10 reps. This was great! Thanks so much. Keep the videos coming.
Three hours later, I feel my calves, which I have not done in years. God I owe you more than you know. It is amazing.
Bro!!! Been sidelined with a lower back injury for the past 2 months. Was literally just cleared yesterday to get back at it (slowly). Watched your video and knocked out 10 and had to take a break. Obviously not where I want to be but I just found a way to help me get back in the game. Thanks. Looking forward to future vids.

@@GQ-jv9uw Back is doing great. Minor set back due to a torn meniscus (unrelated) but right before that I was dead lifting 315 5 reps 3 sets. I know that’s not a lot but just right for my fitness goals. I still use this exercise at least once a week. Hope you find relief and strength in your back.

@@palaka7724 Thanks for the update! Hope your back is still iron and your knee is back to 100%
I have to say you're possibly the best person to truly provide specific and very effective movements to target specific areas. Enjoying all your videos especially one that targets the pecs. I hope you continue to post these awesome videos
Cant thank you enough. Ive had muscle imbalances in my back for over a decade. I broke my back playing rugby as a teen and at the age of 25 had chronic pain. I have been going to numerous physios over the years and after going to failure on that second exercise i felt something. Im only a few days in doing this once a day to failure and my back pain, chronic pain, chronic fatigue has completely gone. I am speechless thank you!!
Amazing! Literally relieved the lower back pain on my right side in just a few reps!!
I have Sacroiliac pain and no extension bench. You just blew my mind! Thank you!
I'm watching all this guy's videos. Straight forward and to the point. Love it. Thank you.
This guy is the Don.Just did 20 reps and my lower back was BURNING! Keep up the excellent work
Wow I just did the standing variation and managed to hit a group of muscles I never knew I had. Now I’m super sore and have the craziest pump I’ve ever had, great video!
Excellent, Ryan. With scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, multi disc degeneration, working the back and core without heavy axial load is vital. Since you released this vid, this has been the safest and most effective way for me to work the extensors. Thanks.
I already went to the gym, so I did the standing at home. I can't believe the result. Thanks man.
Today, right before going to the gym, I remembered this video and decided to give it a go. I finally got that feeling of satisfaction from working with the lower back. Thank you!
This has easily been the biggest game changer for me as far as any type of exercise variation. Phenomenal. I isolate my mid and lower back perfectly with no lower back discomfort. I also started doing seated DB good mornings to target lower back. Just doing these for a few weeks has helped alleviate my lower back pain and discomfort. Now I can train my legs properly again.
Just did that second one 4x15reps... I’m already getting a 6-pack on my lower back. Unbelievable exercise. Edit: Congrats on 500k! Keep it up!
Absolutely great exercise! Thanks for posting that!
One of the Most educational channel on yuotube!
Holy sheeet. This updated version was a lot harder than I thought. 10 reps in and I almost has a cramp.
Best lower back movement I've found. Thanx. Definitely humbled.
I’ve been doing this twice weekly since I first saw this video 1 month ago and my lower back thanks you! 🎉
That is ridiculously effective yet looks so easy. Thanks Ryan
Did 13 reps and had to stop. Wow. Insane. It's like I discovered new muscles. Appreciate the content brotha!
My gym got this equipment this week and I tried it out. Unreal exercise!
20 reps just killed my back. Thank you.
So, I tried the one where you said pause the video and try. Gotta say, you’re correct, it humbled me and felt great afterwards.
Insane back pump from the standing variation. Very unique! You earned my sub.
Thanks Ryan all your videos are phenomenal .Your a legend .
14 reps of that standing back exercise and I needed to take a break- like a lot of people on here Im going to incorporate this!
This man is just a genius... A trainer who can make you target a muscle in different ways... Hence reducing the risk of injury.
Just done these for back/core day. Trick for me seems to be to let my hamstrings and calves completely relax and to focus on keeping them relaxed and out of play. That way all the pull goes through my lower back.. Really effective... Thanks Ryan 👍
That second movement is fantastic--thanks for sharing!
tried to do 20 reps of the standing version, by the 7th one i knew he wasn't bullshitting, lol. I've had lower back problems and it affect my workouts, this is definitely going to be my new go-to lower back workout. thanks man!!
Great video thanks. The standing version is just what I need!
Fantastic. You're doing great work sir.
Damn this is really effective! I’ve never had my spinalis portion of the erectors so engaged in a motion. You legit have excellent information!
That standing extension is exactly what i've been looking for
Listen at 2:10 - As a Sports Chiropractor that is such an important concept/message for people to understand. Dynamic movements of the lumbopelvic region are essential to understand your boundaries! Great content Ryan!
That second exercise is a good one! I always feel like I have to be so careful with my back but this has total control.
Just did these and holy crap they work great! Love the advice you give!
I’m doing lower body today so I’ll give this a go! Thanks for the vid 💪🏻
NICE! Have been doing these for years. Like kneeling and laying over excerise ball. Great lower back stability allows use of plates for additional resistance in the movement.
Awesome!!!!! I can feel the isolation
It’s one of the most important videos , I hope working for me , thank you
You are a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you for this!
That actually makes perfect sense. I quit doing back extensions because they seemed fruitless compared to the reverse hyper. Will certainly give this version a go.
I Efffffffiiiing appreciate this guy! its just pure VALUE!!!!
Crazy-helped my tennis+lifting game! THanks!
Thanks Ryan i needed this.
Did the standing ones... My backs all warm and tinkling... Love it!
I needed this. Thank you!
Great video Ryan. Thanks
Great video. Just found you the other day and subbed. Your 👍 vs 👎 are sick! It speaks to the quality and content of your vids.
NZ crew checking in. Good stuff!
Omg this is awesome! I thought I'd find it easy because my deadlift have improved but this made my back muscles ache like crazy...only managed 10 slow,controlled reps!
This was really good to know. I like everything u do Ryan. Tnx so much for giving us your knowledge.
Great exercise. I wake up with terrible pain every morning, this is one of things that helps. I also do reverse hypers
Excellent video
Thanks !! I’ll do them !! Your a BEAST!!
I made it to 20 but lemme tell you he definitely wasn't bullshitting. I did heavy triples on hex bar couple hours ago and this simple move had my lower back PUMPED better than that whole session. Can't wait to weight these with some dumbbells as a finisher on my next pull day. I can tell already they're gonna take my low back to the next level. Been a subscriber for a long time, keep up the great info my guy💪😎👍
Yup 20 will do it! Those tweaks are gold. Thx
Gonna try this today. Very informative videos. Thanks
Good stuff Coach. I will try this today before legs.
Your tips & technique are hilarious dude loved it
Fantastic vid on the back!!
Tried this version of back extension and I do love it.❤
This is a great high-yield accessory movement, could combo with abmat crunches for both flexion/extension and improved ROM. Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to see this and not another 'glute-dominant' back extension.
Wow that is amazing. And I have disk issues. And that was great. I finally could feel that I am using my low back muscles. Thanks.
From 2:36-- I didn't even realise the WAS this much movement to be had from lumbar spine isolated movement!! Perfect examples Ryan-- thanks!! My javelin trainees will thank you for the help too!!
Hip and knee replacement caused significant posterior chain issues including lower back. Thank you for this great training tip. Definitely works 👍
this is an underwatched video. subbed
I can’t believe how much Eyan has changed in nearly 5 years, him and his videos are totally different 🤣👌🏻
Got very unique and effective knowledge after watching your video. Became a fan 😍
Hit some spots I haven't felt before. Good shit
Ryan, 1. the channel is the best, videos run as I work out. 2. the report back- I did a ton - I has to repeat the video until -Oh- wrestling stance. Get you head and hands. Thanks for all the videos!!
Added to my morning work out. Thanks
That really does hit well. 10 reps in I was thinking WTF, then from about 15 I noticed it. Then as soon as I stopped my lower back was lit. Thanks Ryan
can't wait to try that 2nd one
Holy smokes! This lit my back up like never before!!
Like it. Can’t wait to get to it. Thanks
Even just how lose it makes my lower back feel! I think it’s a great warmup for the morning too, if you wake up with lower back stiffness.
I appreciate this. I have never seen or heard of this movement. Yep, lit right up. I am sensitive about my back because I was born with spina bifida occulta. I didn't know I had that until I was 52 and had been living with a broken vertebrae for 2 years. A fusion saved me from disaster. Now I want to do every thing possible to keep a strong back. Even now, at 64. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I tried and it really work really well thanks for the video 🙏🏼
Dude you’re a guru
Jesus christ what a back pump. I tried the standing one at home. I will try the other one tomorrow at the gym. Thank you for this one 💪
Dude works great ❤️❤️
Love these
