Lower back extension substitute.

I want to add these into training but my gym doesn't have one of those lower back/hip flexor contraptions. Anyone know of any good substitutes?

lean over an ab thingy, grab some weights, and straight out?

that probably makes no sense

ok.

I dead lift already.

straight leg dead lift? what the fuck? from the looks of that gif its everything thats wrong with lifting weight incorrectly.


edit : i should say, to ME, thats what it seems like.

i thought bending and lifting like that is a perfect way to hurt yourself really bad.

good mornings




Doing these have gotten rid of the problems ive had from horrible p osture at my computer for so many years.

Barbell Good-morning (http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/BBGoodMorning.html)

Stability ball lay across it face down on your tummy and raise opposite leg and arm high as you can hold for 2 second and then alternate for 10 reps good back workout. And on the floor laying down supermans.

i thought bending and lifting like that is a perfect way to hurt yourself really bad.If you try doing as much weight as you normally would with a traditional deadlift welcome to slipped disc city. You will be doing anywhere from 1/4 - 1/3 of your usual weight to start on a SL or romanian deadlift. It's not that bad and shouldn't hurt your back.

I don't do this exercise myself, but if your gym has any kind of abdominal machine, you could probably adapt and exercise to work your lower back there, but in all honesty I have huge lower back muscles and I suspect it's just from squatting with all that weight on my back.

ill stick to squats and deadlifts heavy then and maybe do supermans on the floor.

i will fall off the swiss ball and people will laugh.
