PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Light plate-loaded reverse Nordic

These steps are written specifically for the Light plate-loaded reverse Nordic. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Light plate-loaded reverse Nordic. Position the plate securely and begin with a load you can control without compensation.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Keep shoulders, hips, and knees in one line as you lean the whole body backward from the knees.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Reverse before the hips bend or low back arches, using the quads to pull yourself upright. Reverse only the range you own.

Light plate-loaded reverse Nordic is a progression of Reverse Nordic Curls. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The body travels backward as one line, taking the knee from flexed toward a more open angle while the rectus femoris lengthens across both hip and knee.
