It says right there the back isn't really targeted.
Normal hyper extensions target your lower back. |

Ok - I'll try this again
Other Muscles Worked: Hamstrings Equipment: Other Mechanics Type: Isolation Video Guide: Windows Media - MPEG - Video iPod Tips: Lie face down on a hyperextension bench, tucking your ankles securely under the footpads. Adjust the upper pad if possible so your upper thighs lie flat across the wide pad, leaving enough room for you to bend at the waist without any restriction. Start with your body in a straight line. Cross your arms in front of you or behind your head. You can also hold a weight for extra resistance. Slowly bend forward at the waist as far as you can while keeping your back FLAT. Do not round your back. Slowly raise your torso until your legs and upper body are in a straight line again. Do NOT arch your back past a straight line! |

Normal hyperextensions shouldn't put your spine through flexion and extension either. Really, regular hyperextensions should "target" your glutes too, but most people do them improperly.

is it ever okay to work your spine through extension, CP? or should they just be worked isometrically?

You will, however, find plenty of people who disagree with my statements and feel it is a good idea. Dr. Ken Leistner performs round back lifts, for example. |

Is there really any point to doing reverse hyperextensions other than to help alleviate the often improper posture and movement most people exhibit doing the normal ones?
I guess what I'm trying to ask is... does it work slightly different muscle groups and any more effictively? I mean all you're doing is putting the load on the ankles instead of the upper torso and performing the same movement. |

Are you describing a movement that has a much smaller ROM? |

You will probably have a smaller ROM unless you have very mobile hips. Imagine a Romanian deadlift: does your spine flex and extend? No, it stays neutral (Hopefully). The motion is about the hips. Same idea with hyperextensions.

Ok I can picture it now. I was thinking about head movement and such, along with extension...which I may see more than flexion.
