The Lever Reverse Hyperextension is an exercise that targets the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings. It involves lying face down on a bench or platform and allowing the legs to extend downward, while lifting them back up towards the ceiling in a controlled manner.
How to perform
Here are step-by-step instructions for performing the Lever Reverse Hyperextension:1. Start by lying face down on a hyperextension bench or platform, with your hips at the edge and your legs extended straight out behind you.
2. Engage your core and glutes to lift your legs up towards the ceiling, keeping them straight throughout the movement.
3. Slowly lower your legs back down towards the ground, making sure to maintain control and not allow them to swing or drop quickly.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
5. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can add resistance by holding a weight plate or dumbbell between your feet.
6. Remember to keep your back flat and avoid arching or rounding during the movement to prevent any strain on the lower back.
7. As you get more comfortable with the exercise, you can gradually increase the weight and number of repetitions to continue challenging your muscles.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
