Glute-Focused Back Extension
A modified version that targets the glute muscles more intensely. This is achieved by slightly rounding the upper back and focusing on the glute squeeze.
Level:Intermediate
Type:Machine-based
Technique
How to perform
1
Set up in the machine and adjust it as normal.
2
As you lower yourself down, allow your upper back to round slightly. Keep your chin tucked.
3
Initiate the upward movement by squeezing your glutes together forcefully.
4
Rise until your body is in a straight line. Focus on maintaining tension in the glutes throughout the entire movement.
5
Your upper spine should remain slightly rounded to prevent the lower back from doing most of the work.
