Glute-Ham Developer Hip Extension
On a glute-ham developer with the hips over the pad, fold the torso down and raise it to horizontal; with the back held flat, the movement happens at the hips.
How to do it
Setup
Hips on the pad, ankles locked under the rollers, torso hanging down, hands at the chest.
Steps
- Raise the torso by driving the hips into the pad.
- Stop at horizontal, body in one line.
- Fold back down slowly with the back flat.
Common mistakes
Pad too high, under the belly: set it under the hips so they can fold. Arching above horizontal: the line is the top. Rounding at the bottom: the fold is at the hips, not the spine.
Breathing
Exhale as the torso rises, inhale lowering.
