GHD Back Extension
Lower back · Middle back · Glute-ham developer
How to do it
- Set the glute-ham developer pads so your hip crease sits just past the edge of the hip pad and your ankles are locked under the foot pads.
- Start with your torso hanging down, roughly perpendicular to the floor, hands crossed over your chest.
- Brace your core and squeeze your glutes to raise your torso up until it is in line with your legs.
- Do not hyperextend past a straight line at the top.
- Lower back down under control through the same range until your torso returns past parallel.
- Repeat for the set without swinging or bouncing at the bottom.
