Oct 16, 2012 9:41 AM: I'd been seeing people use the bench at the gym for a few weeks, and I thought that it looked easy, but it is WAY harder than it looks. Probably because of the angle you're at.

Well, two weeks later I was in agony! I spoke to a physiotherapist and he said that this exercise was doing a lot of damage to my back. The full movement from the lowered position to upright was putting a lot of pressure on the joints in my spine and one of my lumbar discs had become swollen. He said that this should ONLY be done by people with already strong lower backs and a much safer exercise for people with weaker muscles is to do lying back extensions, as this greatly reduces the pressure on your spinal joints.-See Less

However, since I do not have a Hyperextension Bench I have improvised a Hyperextension Bench with our Power Rack and our incline/decline bench. I place the bench perpendiculiar to the cross bar of the power rack. I put the cross bar at level 8. I put the decline end of the bench down near the floor and place it on the inside of the power rack. Then I lay on the bench with my feet placed under the cross bar. I am able to do the hyperextensions without a spotter. It works very well. -See Less
