it's between 8-9" that you want the bar from the floor...i'm pretty sure it's nine. that'll give you the height of olympic 45's.

One of the primary problems most everyone can have is not being able to differentiate hip flexion/extension from lumbar flexion/extension.

Just wanted to point that out to avoid confusion.

Good points made all around though.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

Back extentions

Had 5g of Creatine for first time tonight, post WO.

on the back extensions...where is the pad placed? i would recommend doing hip extensions, which moves the pad under your thighs...and also doing static extensions where you just hold yourself in place.

and squeeze that ass the entire time you do statics

Pad is on the upper quad, right below waist.

Static extensions?

your upper body is not supported, you just hold yourself in a straight out position. you can even hold weights on your chest to increase difficulty. is the pad movable? if so try moving it back a little further so you can easily extend from the hips, and keep your lower back set.

The apparatus is the one where you are at a 45 degree angle, and the pad can be adjusted as to where it goes, height-wise..

I would prefer the kind where you are horizontal, but oh well..

Maybe I can get someone to just sit on my legs and I can do them on a bench rack or something..

But again, I would rather be doing dead lifts, but just wasn't up for it last night..

so they don't have a power rack at this gym?
