Machine 45 Degree Back Extension

A 45 degree hyperextension that strengthens the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings through a clean hip hinge.

Set the pad height so the top edge sits just below your hip crease and step into the machine.
Plant your feet firmly on the foot platform and cross your arms over your chest.
Brace your core and hold a straight line from head to heels at the starting position.
Hinge forward at the hips, lowering your torso toward the floor with a flat back.
Stop when you feel a stretch in the hamstrings and your torso is roughly parallel to the floor.
Drive your hips into the pad and squeeze your glutes to return to the straight starting line.

Rounding the lower back at the bottom instead of hinging cleanly at the hips.
Hyperextending the lower back at the top instead of stopping at a straight line.
Adding weight too soon, which compromises the hinge and overloads the lower back.
Rushing the descent instead of controlling the lowering phase for the full range.
