Dumbbell Reverse Hyperextension on Bench
The reverse hyperextension on a flat bench with a dumbbell squeezed between the feet for load.
How to do it
Setup
Face down on a flat bench with the hips at its end, hands gripping the bench, a dumbbell held between the feet.
Steps
- Lift the legs and the bell until the legs are level with the bench.
- Squeeze the feet together so the bell cannot slip.
- Lower slowly until the toes near the floor.
Common mistakes
Bell slipping from the feet: start light and keep the feet pressed together. Lifting above the bench line: the lower back arches; stop level. Swinging the legs: slow up, slower down.
Breathing
Exhale as the legs rise, inhale on the way down.
