Progression of Reverse Hyperextension
PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT
Heavier reverse hyper
These steps are written specifically for the Heavier reverse hyper. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.
- 01Set up your version
Set up specifically for the Heavier reverse hyper. Add only enough load to preserve the same range, tempo, and position as the easier version.
- 02Move the pattern
Brace your trunk and lift the legs by driving the heels backward, keeping the motion at the hips.
- 03Match the demand
Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.
- 04Finish with control
Stop when the legs meet the torso line, squeeze the glutes, and lower without swinging. Stop at a clean hip finish.

Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 10–20
Heavier reverse hyper is a progression of Reverse Hyperextension. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.
Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.
WHY IT EARNS A SPOT
Own the position,
then earn the load.
The legs travel from hip flexion toward extension while the torso stays fixed. That makes the shortened glute finish easy to feel and repeat.
