This exercise simultaneously targets these muscles, while also taking other limitations out of the equation. The number one benefit of the movement is increased hamstring and glute strength. To get the most benefit out of the reverse hyper, the machine is necessary.But – there are still benefits of the movement without the machine or loading the exercise. With the reverse hyper, the glutes are in a stretched position to start, making it a hard exercise to complete, but also one that creates enough tension to create change. Muscle development/growth happens when we illicit enough of a stimulus on the muscle group, and that is what the reverse hyper does.īy placing your body in a specific, fixed position, we are able to isolate certain muscles. The main focus of the reverse hyper is contract the glute, hamstring and lower back muscles to build strength. The exercise works the entire posterior chain (your back side) but again, the focus is on the glutes. It works by laying on your stomach with your legs dangling down, attaching your ankles to straps with weight (or no weight) and you lift your legs straight up behind you. The reverse hyper is typically a machine used at the gym. Hip extension (think kicking backwards) is the main work of the glutes, so the reverse hyper lets us work in the end ranges of the strongest position. Please Note: The unit stands up by itself when folded, but we do recommend either storing it flat on the ground or, if storing it upright, to do so against a wall and out of the reach of children.A reverse hyperexension (reverse hyer) is an extension of the hips, working the glutes, hamstrings and lower back. Please Note: The unit stands up by itself when folded, but we do recommend either storing it flat on the ground or if storing it upright, doing so against a wall and out of the reach of children. When a workout is complete, the user simply has to (1) pull out and spin the pop pins to unlock the unit, (2) tip the machine up while pushing on the horizontal rear leg crossmember, and (3) press down on the handles to complete the folding process. The Scout Hyper comes with rubber feet (to provide grip to the floor and help keep the unit level) and a rubber-covered step for safe mounting and dismounting. A bolt-on handle extension kit is also available a la carte for users who need to accommodate a shorter distance from the end of the pad to the handles. The unit comes standard with a durable, round-edge pad (27.5” wide x 21.5” deep x 2” thick) to limit friction against the hips, as well as a nylon webbing hyper strap, two weight posts (5.25” loadable length), a set of spring collars, and 6” long handles. Louie Simmons created this model with home, work, and light clinical use in mind-with particular benefits for younger athletes or those new to reverse hyper training. This uniquely lightweight and mobile design features hinging legs that lock into place with pop pins and easily fold back for efficient storage after use (the total depth of the unit, when folded, is just 13”). The Scout Hyper is a patented, foldable reverse-hyper machine developed by powerlifting legend Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell. "I do hypers before and after I squat or deadlift." - Louie Simmons
