Why aren't you doing reverse hypers anon?

>>76573784 (OP)
Because I'm a redditor who only does low bar squats and deadlifts

>>76573784 (OP)

>>76573810
Most commercial gyms should have a reverse hyperextension machine though? DB reverse hypers just aren't as good

>>76573784 (OP)
just do good mornings

>>76573820
Not mine. No reverse hyper, no GHD.
Also, the benches are all bolted into the ground, and lie a foot and a half off the floor.

>>76573827
>just do good mornings
i like to reach as far as it goes with toes of one foot lying down - feels like awesomeness stretch and mobility for lower back
>lying down
yeah on belly on me back, reach as far as u can with your leg - it's tilting pelvis sideways in SI joint and lower back, no actual load required, just intra-bodily-resistance to the positioning

>>76573832
Damn bro wtf. Time to go gym shopping I guess. You deserve better in the year 2025

>>76573856
I live in America, so it's the only gym within 30 miles.
Need to go country shopping is more like it.

>>76573784 (OP)
We have the back extension and glute kickback machines but not this one sadly. It's a shame because both the glute and back ex ones are over designed pieces of crap.

>>76573784 (OP)
Isn't this for all intents and purposes just a hip thrust rotated 90 degrees?

no one who's actually done these for a while would post this. it's spam from a non-lifter.

>>76573820
Almost no gyms have reverse hypers

>>76574099
wrong. you wouldn't know this because you don't go to the gym.

>>76573784 (OP)
It hurts my balls, that's why

>>76574137
You're not supposed to hump the damn thing anon

>>76573784 (OP)
This is the stupidest way to do it when reverse chinese planks are more of an option for most people

>Looks gay af

>>76574111
This month alone I've used 5 separate gyms. I travel around with work and im 34. I've seen 1 (one) reverse hyper in my life.

>>76573784 (OP)
What if someone comes to you mid-set and slaps ur butt?

>>76573820
No they don't

I bought one of these for my home gym after buying into the hype,

Titan fitness version, it was about $400 back then which wasn’t a big deal - but it didn’t do much for me, it was uncomfortable to use, hard to get consistent form, and also you can do a huge range in weight because you’re swinging it all with momentum so it was unclear what was an appropriate weight to use, and in the end it didn’t seem to help anything.

Got rid of it on Craigslist

>>76574496
Free test boost. The other day some guy came up and starting making out with me whilst I was bench pressing and honestly I didn't even have to re-rack, tongued a bit and then smashed a full ROM 3pl8.

>>76574496
Sexual approaches between men raise test

>>76573784 (OP)
Because I do reverse reverse hypers, the infinitely superior exercise.

>>76573784 (OP)
I do reverse hypers, but my gym doesn't have a machine, so I just have to stick with high reps, no weight.

>>76573892
hip thrusts dont stretch your back and hamstrings as much since the weight is focused right over your ass

>>76573784 (OP)
I wonder if you can do a similar thing on a bench where you put the barbell on your inner knees and lift your upper legs

>>76573784 (OP)
i would LOVE to use this machine holy shit please stop making these threads it makes me seethe every time

>>76574463
kek

>>76573969
Imo it's only good for back rehab, the literal reason it was invented.
Powerlifters seem to love it though.

>>76573784 (OP)
This looks supper gay. Why would I do this when I already squat and deadlift faggot.

>>76573969
I can tell your gym doesn't have a reverse hyper machine. It's infinitely superior to the back extension and has helped boost my compound lifts a shit ton, especially deads. Seethe.

>>76574491
try living in a first world country idk

>>76573784 (OP)
because my gym has no such machine
(I don't think, idk the machines are contained in their own area and I never go over there because that's where the boomers foids and dyels all are)

>mom i want leg curl machine for the injury prevention benefits and hamstring growth
>"we have leg curls at home"
>leg curls at home:

>>76574491
you should larp as a guy who can afford a day pass to a decent gym in whatever city you are staying in.

>>76573784 (OP)
Because I can just do BSS instead.

>>76573784 (OP)
I do regular ones because my gym doesn't have a cool machine

>>76573820
Wrong. I’ve been to dozens of gyms all over the USA. Only seen this machine once

>>76574679
This

The Romans and Spartans knew this

How can I achieve this at home with resistance bands?

>>76576168
Ok, I'll make the Nautilus pullover machine thread next.

>>76579651
You can't. It has to be in public and people have to watch

>>76580052
I was thinking of putting heavy weights on my chest and pulling on a band secured to my pull-up bar.

everytime i see a thread on fit about "obscure" workout equipment i feel like im taking my gym for granted cause i almost always have it but dont use it

>>76573784 (OP)
Because I'm not a woman, and i don't have time to do silly nonsense like that when i have heavy compounds to do.
