The Back Extension
“…The back extension is more challenging than the hip extension because it requires isolation of each individual vertebra. In contrast to the hip extension, the back extension requires the athlete to intentionally surrender the natural neutral position of the spine, rounding step by step from the neck to lower back.From the bottom position with the athlete’s torso approximately perpendicular to the floor, the athlete uses the spinal erectors to unfurl in reverse order, returning to a neutral position with the torso parallel to the floor…”
