A strength curve refers to how much force is required at specific joint angles of an exercise. It determine where the “easier”, and “harder” portions of a movement are Because deadlifts and back extensions are each the most difficult at different angles of the same joint, they complement each other very well If your back extension is weak while you have a relatively strong deadlift, bringing it up may be the most productive accessory you can be doing to deadlift more, and lower the probability of lower back pain
Im gonna use that curl bar for weighted back extensions instead of holding a plate to my chest. What a great idea and im embarrassed i never thought of this lol
90* back extensions are also really nice, cause they help train terminal hip extension, which promotes good habits for things like squats and deadlifts. Also they just make for a really low impact posterior chain exercise!
I find that the back extension mainly works my glutes and hamstrings because those are the muscles im pulling myself up with. If i use my back to pull myself up my lower back gets a tense feeling that doesn’t feel right. I feel a similar tenseness with RDLs as well
Bro do some neck content. I hurt my neck doing deadlifts but that's cuz I hurt my neck a few gears ago doing heavy neck extensions (weight was too heavy) I need to bulletproof the neck Love the content bte it's super helpful and life chaninf
What should I do if I get SI joint pain after elephant walks and/or back extension iso holds? I have already regressed both and I’m still getting it after each set of each exercise.
