Can anyone explain????

[Cubanito17]

Hey guys what are hypers and what are they good for???? how many sets and reps should be done for strength????

 

[sysopt]

erectors, hams, and glutes.

Its almost like a leg curl except your legs are straight. Your moving the weight with all your lower body parallel to the floor . You start with your legs dangling the you hoist the weight up so your body is straight with th efloor, at the end of the lift.

Ok thanx for helpin out, but i stil don't completely understand sooo far i know it's a leg workout. Am i standing up or sitting down??? Is it like a sitting down let ext just really fast, is that why they call it hypers????

 

[powerlifterjay]

Its not a leg work out. Its a hip and ass , and lower back workout. It is a machine you buy no gym just has it. In fl we made one and it works great. But i will not go into that.

 

[endpoint]

hyper extensions or reverse hypers?

 

[Cubanito17]

hey endpoint i dunno the diff b/w either one soo i dont think it matters which one, what's the diff b/w the two and how can u do them.

 

[powerlifterjay]

Reverse hyper is what i explained. And a hyper is when you lean forward on a hyper machine and just bend down with your legs locked behind the pad and using your lower back for the lift.

reverse hypers require a machine that costs $900 dollars,
you can do normal hypers at a gym......here is a link to pictures and explanations
