MACHINE OF THE WEEK: B***Y BUILDER BACK EXTENSION 🍑
The back extension is far more versatile than its name suggests. With the correct setup and technique, it’s a brilliant exercise for strengthening your glutes, hamstrings and lower back.
In this video, we explain how to set up the machine and adjust your position depending on which muscles you want to emphasise.
✅ Adjust the pad just below your hips
✅ Control the lowering phase
✅ Drive your hips firmly into the pad
✅ Finish by squeezing your glutes—don’t overextend your back
Give it a try during your next session. If you’re unsure about the setup, ask a member of the Meritor team and we’ll happily help.
