The SportsArt A993 45-Degree Back Hyperextension works out the lower, mid, and upper back. This whole area of the body, also called the erector spinae, comprises a bundle of muscles and tendons that straighten and rotate the back.
Performing Hyperextensions
The prefix hyper- is sometimes added to describe movement beyond the normal limits. Range of motion describes the total range of motion that a joint is able to do. If a part of the body such as a joint is overstretched or bent backwards because of exaggerated extension motion, then it can be described as hyperextended. Using the SportsArt A993 45-Degree Back Hyperextension involves securing the feet onto the footpads and lying in a prone position while performing back extensions. Keeping the hips locked, the user will use their spine and back muscles to lift themselves and move between lumbar flexion and lumbar extension. During this exercise, the erector spinae is worked while the hamstrings act as stabilizers against the bench's mats. Keeping a fully neutral spine, the glutes will squeeze to pull up the the top part of the body. For more resistance, a dumbbell can be held with both hands right below the neck and upper chest area while performing the hyperextension.
SportsArt A993 45-Degree Back Hyperextension Features
The SportsArt A993 45-Degree Back Hyperextension is a modern, updated version of the Roman Chair that holds the feet down and the hips up. Its welded steel frame adjusts in a flat, incline, or decline position. The commercially rated piece of strength training equipment is ideal for use in commercial gyms, fitness centers, home gyms, hotel workout centers, personal training studios, corporate wellness facilities, sports training facilities, and physical therapy clinics. It is made with a welded steel frame that adjusts to accommodate user size. Heavy-duty vinyl cushions provide comfort and withstand heavy use associated with placement in commercial gym environments, and large comfortable hand grips help the user further isolate the muscles. Oversized oval foot pads secure positioning by swivelling and holding the legs in place comfortably. Users can easily adjust the height setting with a pop pin that slides the frame tubing into place. Electrostatic powder coating insures the finish is resistant to scratches and dings, which keeps the finish looking new. Adjustable levelers on the front base frame supports make it so the back stretching bench sits with precise stability, even on uneven floor surfaces.
