45 Degree Back Extension
1 - Adjust the 45-degree back extension bench so the thigh pads sit just below your hips, allowing you to hinge freely at the hips.
2 - Place your feet securely on the foot platform and position your thighs against the pads with your body in a straight line.
3 - Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands lightly behind your head, keeping your neck neutral.
4 - Brace your core and lower your torso by hinging at the hips, maintaining a neutral spine throughout the movement.
5 - Lower until you feel a controlled stretch through your hamstrings and glutes, without rounding your lower back.
6 - Drive your hips into the pad and squeeze your glutes to raise your torso back to a straight line with your legs.
7 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions while avoiding overextension at the top.
