DESCRIPTION
At the center of athletic performance training is the importance of a strong posterior chain – low back, glutes, hamstrings and calves. This is where the athlete’s acceleration and speed is born. Glute ham raises are a very effective form of way of training this muscle group, placing an emphasis on the hamstrings, but the Reverse Back Extension places more of the emphasis on the lower back, a common problem area for athletes and non-athletes alike. This machine provides strength training in the concentric (lifting) phase and stretching in the eccentric (return) phase, blurring the line between power training and therapy, making the Reverse Back Extension a machine with a rehabilitation component, as well as an athletic training component.
Combine these dual benefits with an enhanced design that aids user comfort beyond what the competition has to offer with the relative ease-of-use that a selectorized design provides, and you have a device that is just as at home in the chiropractic environment as it is in a weight room.
Supplied with a 200-pound weight stack in 10-pound increments. Integrated step with replaceable polymer grip plate assists users in mounting and dismounting. Tough but smooth pillow block bearings feature grease fittings for ease of maintenance. PowerMax pulleys prolong cable life and use shielded bearings for long lasting, smooth action. Cam plate features a thick, chrome-plated pop pin plate. See adjustability diagram for the full range of possible user settings.
