REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Short-range reverse Nordic

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

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Short-range reverse Nordic. Kneel upright on a pad with knees about hip-width apart, toes relaxed, and glutes lightly squeezed.

  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

    Use the smaller named range and reverse before position or control changes.

  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.

Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 5–10 controlled

Short-range reverse Nordic is a regression 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.
