This would actually be THERAPY for most people’s Lower Back If you sit at a desk 25, 30, 35, 40+ hours a week, find a way to get access to this machine Do it 1-2x a week 2-3 sets 5-10 reps 1-2 RIR Lower Back pain is all but... 100% sure to be a THING OF THE PAST if you doshow more

The greatest therapy I found for my lower back, nothing even close is deadhangs. I started doing them during Cov lockdowns to break up the monotony of running and my god, they are a game changer. 4 sets of 2 minutes in 80 minutes 3 days a week. Bulletproofed my lower back.

A great drill/exercise!

I started off being able to only do 1 minute 15 seconds. 5 years of just hanging as long as possible to progress it to 2 minutes 30 seconds some days at a 92 kilo bodyweight in my twilight years. And because no one told me you can’t double let alone quadruple it in 80 minutes…

yes a simpler version of this machine is what did the most for my lower back injury (lower back problem basically nonexistent now)

Years ago, when we had our first child, I used to get lower back pain from bending over changing nappies and clothes. Ever since I put some time into lower back movements virtually every niggle has disappeared.

Technique colder than the machine. Damn!

Never seen this machine before. This is goated

Needs to be in every gym

I assume a back extension with a weight plate is a good alternative if you don’t have this machine?

Yes Just more limited on overload potential longterm

We have a similar setup at my gym but without the ability to hold on to a bar and load weight. I guess it's called a back extension machine or whatever. I usually hold a 35 lb plate across my chest and pull myself up

Wish l had this machine. Looks incredible.

Needs to be in every gym ever

Agreed

I’ve got one of these… how do I replicate the machine version?

TRUTH. consistency > hype. 1-2x/wk, 2-3 sets, 5-10 reps, RIR 1-2. pair with daily mobility for real relief

Beautiful!

Can confirm this is true.

wow these machines seem to be everywhere now

Not gonna stop posting them until every gym owner is peer pressured into buying

@grok what machine is this

It is amazing to reduce lower back pain.

That machine is 🔥

@PaulCmpp

The back extension is such a critical but often neglected exercise/machine. Do you ever use it to train the QL?

@PaulCmpp No but you can!

Glutebuilder and Olympian frontiers have got em, only seen the pin loaded bootybuilder in the states so far

@elonmusk The back pain you have been complaining about.

Agreed. This or rdls.

I want this machine in my gym now.

This is the exact machine my gym has, added it back to my program and replaced my deadlifts for the next 12 weeks. I’m excited to do them again

can confirm

need this at my gym asap

How would you compare this to a reverse hyper?

For back health or from a stimulus standpoint?

Kinda both but moreso back health. I’m thinking of buying a reverse hyper

Reverse hypers gonna be more glutes / probably a bit better spinal decompression

Could you just use an angled bench and cable machine?

What if the pelvis is asymmetrical and this hamstrings and glutes don’t work evenly?

Would back extension be a decent alternative at a gym like planet fitness?

The seated machine one that’s pin loaded? Or a 45?

The seated machine one.

Ehhh Not really Gonna be very erector dominant

Who makes that machine?

Can I replicate this with the “45 degree extension” exercise? 🤔

Do you have an opinion on the reverse hyperextension machine?

What any zercher jefferson curls?! Those are great

Dean, what if this machine hurts your back? Tried it the other day and was a bit painful. Thanks

That could just be an execution / setup thing It could also be a poorly built machine If the former, a fix is necessary If the latter, you’ll need to choose a different exercise

Thank you

🤝💪🏻

Completely off topic but can you explain why bodybuilders love working out in Jordan 1s?

They’re flat and they like the style I actually lift in em myself on lower sometimes

Might have to give it a try. The aesthetic is pretty cool.

I’m a fan!
