Reverse hyperextensions on the multi press
The leg press machine also provides the opportunity for reverse back extensions. The motion closely resembles that of Donkey Kickbacks. Below, you'll find advice on body positioning and the execution of the exercise.
Body position
A flat bench is positioned directly under the leg press machine. Your upper body rests on the bench, while your legs are freely suspended in the air. The thighs are slightly angled downward, with the feet and lower legs upright. Place your feet directly on the barbell, which you then press upward. The leg press machine's guide rail assists with the remainder of the movement.
Movement execution
The exercise commences by exhaling as you press your legs, along with the barbell, upward. At the end, the thighs should be slightly angled upward, while the lower legs remain upright. After a brief pause, consciously inhale and slowly lower the barbell. Ensure not to fully rest the barbell and repeat the movement.
