Dumbbell Hyperextension Version II

Secure your ankles in the footpads of a hyperextension bench and position your hips comfortably over the upper pad.

Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms hanging down toward the floor.

Inhale as you slowly bend forward at your hips, lowering your upper body toward the ground in a controlled movement.

Exhale as you engage your lower back and glutes to lift your torso back up until your body forms a straight line.

Avoid hyperextending or arching your back too far backward at the top of the movement before starting the next rep.
