It might not be for you to do it this way. I can't feel this in my glutes by doing it the rounded back way. It feels off. Probably because I have a previous bank injury.. But I feel them very well in a normal 45 degree style. Just practise with them. You will find a style that works.
@@HillbillyYEEHAA oh no I’m sorry about your back! But yes agreed I don’t feel this rounded back style! I will keep practicing.. & definitely try a 45 degree style :)
It's possible that your set up is too high. So you're not bending from the hips enough. Make sure the pad is low enough. Identify the crease of your hips and make sure the pad is not higher than that when you're on the bench. While doing the exercise, Instead of trying to lift your torso, think of pushing your hips into the pad real hard. Maintain that drive through the whole movement and you'll find that your upper back might naturally round.
Wow I've worked as a ranch hand in Central Texas. Labor jobs essentially is just breaking rocks. I know little about exercise but I can vouch for this exercise cuz I just wondered into it randomly just feeling out my body. My back has been destroyed from 20+years of work and this exercise is the only thing that has allowed me to progress after 5,6,7 years of only degression. If you're back is wack start off using this as a stretch. With good breathing and for me it's helped. My back has gone out once since then and it scared me but at least as a stretch and you can still get stronger instead of only down hill.
Depends on what you want to target. Lower back is about hip level, but just below your hips right where your quads meet your them is more glutes/hamstrings.
It’s a back hyperextension. It’s technically used for your lower back but when you round out the upper back, you hit glutes and it’s a wonderful burn lol
@@eviozyra6300 yes yes, i did that. warmups and all. and i feel everything in the glutes the right way. o ly this exercise seem not to work 🤔 or maybe im too small
Add weight hold a dumbbell or use the resistance band loop . Increase the weight every other week once you feel like it has gotten too easy .. progressive overload
