Roman Chair/Back Extension

Coaching Cues

Set the roman chair pad at hip height. Keep your feet stacked together and locked into the foot support. Place your back hand behind your head to help lengthen that side of your body. Let your front arm hang. Lead this movement by laterally flexing your neck first, and then the rest of your spine follows. Try to achieve full range of motion. As you progress this movement, you can load that front arm/hand with a dumbbell.
