Reverse Hyper

How to do it

Lie face down on a sturdy elevated bench or platform with the hips at the edge and the legs hanging free.
Grip the sides of the bench with both hands to anchor the upper body.
Brace the core and squeeze the glutes and hamstrings to swing the legs up until they are in line with the torso.
Pause briefly at the top, feeling the effort through the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and lower back.
Lower the legs back down under control until they hang at the bottom of the range.
Repeat for the set number of reps, keeping the swing controlled rather than using momentum to fling the legs.
