About this exercise

The resistance band incline reverse hyperextension targets the glutes and hamstrings by anchoring a resistance band around the ankles while lying face down on an incline bench. The band adds progressive resistance throughout the lift, increasing the challenge at peak contraction. This variation effectively loads the posterior chain with minimal spinal compression.

How to Perform

  • Set an adjustable bench to a low incline and loop a resistance band around both ankles
  • Lie face down on the bench with your hips at the edge and your legs hanging off the end
  • Anchor the band to a sturdy point at floor level below the bench
  • Keeping your legs together, squeeze your glutes and raise both legs until your body forms a straight line
  • Hold the top position briefly for maximum glute contraction
  • Lower your legs in a controlled manner until they return to the starting position
