I learned that if you want to work your erectors, put your belly button on the edge of the pad so that you bend/round at the waist/spine and not at the hips. You describe the difference between the two movements well in the video.
Paul, would you consider these a good injury prevention drill? I've had some lower back strains around the SI joint and I'm looking for something to stay ahead of and prevent them in the future. Thanks
Last week I snapped something up in my lower back by pulling too much without a proper warmup, couldn't bend over for like two days. I've heard hypers can be restorative. Have you ever fucked up your lower back like that and would you recommend trying to keep the area nice and lubed up with hypers?
Good demonstration Paul, I'll definitely try them this way next time in the gym.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video. Never thought to do hypers like that. Also great Spider-Man pic. Who painted that on your body?
ReplyDeleteIt's a tattoo. I'm shirtless.
DeleteThanks for this.
ReplyDeleteI assumed everything except the ROM. I thought you means come all the way back up, but this cleared that up nicely

Could these possibly be done with stiff legs or good mornings? My gym doesn't have a hyper bench.
ReplyDeleteIt can but I don't think it would be quite as effective.

I've tried it that way Ryan, but it felt awful to me.

Definitely won't hurt.

I don't recommend lubing anything that has the word erect in it, in the gym.
DeleteI do recommend you go see a doctor.
