Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Incline Reverse Hyperextension.
A bodyweight posterior chain exercise performed face-down on an incline bench, where the legs are raised backward in an arc against gravity. The incline position increases the range of motion compared to a flat surface, placing greater demand on the glutes and hamstrings.
The Incline Reverse Hyperextension is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
