- Position thighs prone on large pad and lower leg under padded bar. Place barbell on back of shoulders and grasp bar to sides.
Execution
- Lower body by bending hips until fully flexed. Raise, or extend hips until torso is parallel to legs. Repeat.
Comments
- Adjust lower leg brace so pressure is evenly distributed on thigh pad. Maintain barbell's position on back of shoulders when upper body is lowered. Do not lower weight beyond a mild stretch. Full range of motion will vary from person to person. Also see Barbell Hyper-extension and Barbell Back Extension.
