Instructions
Preparation
- Stand below high pulley. Grasp cable rope attachment and
place wrists against head. Squat down slightly with hips flexed,
allowing resistance on cable pulley to lift torso upward so spine
is hyperextended.
Execution
- With knees and hips stationary, flex waist so elbows travel
toward middle of thighs. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Note movement occurs in waist, not hips. Hyperextension of
spine at top of motion is achived by anterior rotation of pelvis
with flexed hips. See Spot
Reduction Myth. Two soft stirrups or multi-exercise bar can
be substitued for rope. If two soft stirrups are used, grasp
stirrups at side of head. Also see similar exercises:
