Muscles worked: This exercise emphasizes and develops the hamstrings and glutes, while requiring the spinal erectors to stabilize.

Pulley position: Low pulley

Starting position:

•Remove the bench and stand on the platform facing the Power Rods®.

•Grasp the bar with an overhand grip approximately shoulder width.

•The bar harness may have to be adjusted to insure that there is enough movement in the cable to complete the range of motion.

•Do not lock your knees. Position them either nearly straight or very slightly bent.

•Lift your chest, tighten your abdominals and maintain a very slight arch in your lower back.

Motion:

•Maintaining your knee position, slowly bend forward at the hips by moving your butt backwards. It is critical that you keep the “chest out/up” and do not allow it to “cave in,” an indicator that your back is rounding.

•Stop as your hamstrings begin to get taut and before your back begins to round.

•Concentrate on tensing the hamstrings to pull you back up to the starting position.

Key points:

•Your torso should move from vertical angling forward — toward horizontal —-without rounding, slouching or otherwise losing “flat” postural alignment.

•Keep knees slightly bent.

•Move only as far as you can go correctly!

•Never attempt to exercise with more resistance than you are physically able to handle.
