Weekly Workout: Posterior Power Builder
Building a strong, resilient lower body isn’t just about heavy squats and deadlifts—it’s about targeting the muscles that support your spine, hips, and knees. This week’s workout is all about posterior chain strength, focusing on your hamstrings, glutes, and lower back.
With just the Hyper Pro, you’ll get a complete posterior chain workout without needing multiple machines or excessive equipment. This routine blends strength, stability, and muscle endurance—perfect for improving performance and reducing injury risk.
1. Nordic Curls – 3 x 8 (Incline Nordic)
Nordic curls are one of the most effective exercises for hamstring strength and resilience. Performing them at an incline allows you to scale the movement and gradually build strength over time.
How to Perform:
- Secure your feet in between the ankle rollers on the Hyper Pro
- Lower yourself as slowly as possible while keeping your hips in line with your shoulders.
- Use your hamstrings to resist the movement, then push back up as needed.
🔥 Why it Works: Strengthens the hamstrings in a lengthened position—key for preventing injuries.
2. Hip Thrust – 3 x 12
Glutes play a massive role in explosive power, hip stability, and lower back health. Hip thrusts maximize glute activation while taking stress off the lower back.
How to Perform:
- Transition your Hyper Pro to Hip Thrust mode.
- Place your shoulders onto the Hip Thrust pad.
- Squeeze your glutes and drive your feet through the floor to lift your hips into a bridge position.
- Slower lower your glutes back onto the floor.
🔥 Why it Works: Builds stronger glutes, which directly improve hip function and support the lower back.
3. 90-Degree Back Extension – 3 x 12
A staple for spinal strength, posterior chain endurance, and injury prevention. This exercise targets the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings.
How to Perform:
- Transition your Hyper Pro into 90-Degree Back Extension Mode.
- Secure your feet into the ankle rollers with your hips onto the ankle pad.
- Lower yourself until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings or lower back.
- Squeeze your glutes to bring yourself back to the starting position.
🔥 Why it Works: Reinforces low-back endurance and strength, reducing fatigue and pain from daily activities.
4. Trap-3 Raise – 3 x 12
Good posture and strong shoulders are crucial for overall stability. The Trap-3 Raise strengthens the mid-back muscles, improving shoulder function and reducing the risk of upper-body imbalances.
How to Perform:
- Transition your Hyper Pro to 45-Degree Back Extension mode.
- Secure your feet into the ankle rollers with your hips against the hip pads.
- Engage your glutes and core so that your shoulders are in-line with your hips.
- Raise your arms overhead into the shape of a "Y"
- Slowly lower them back to the starting position.
🔥 Why it Works: Improves posture, scapular stability, and shoulder strength—important for everything from lifting to daily movement.
