REVERSE HYPER PLUS
According to those numbers I should be doing 350 lbs for about 125 reps twice per week plus some feeder sessions with 150 lbs or so. My best deadlifts recently, in pain, have been 485 x 5 and about 560 x 1. It is an insane amount of work that will cripple you BUT it is joint friendly and works a crap ton of muscles that clearly have not been worked by doing it the way that you have been currently doing it!īut let us look it it from a backwards perspective. But, while you are over there with a 10 on each side of the reverse hyper they have already killed themselves on dynamic effort box squats, speed deads, glute ham raises, and then they loaded up the reverse hyper with 50% of their 1RM GEARED SQUAT and knocked out 5 sets of 25 reps! Let that sink in! Yes, you saw that guy in the gym do a set of 10 with 500 lbs on the Reverse Hyper but he is only 115 reps short OF ONE SESSION! This should be done twice per week and you can get on that sucker every single day and knock out 100 reps with 25% with ease!īut you are a strongman, your squat stinks, you squat raw and have a bad knee, and you mostly deadlift? Great! Base it off of 65% of your Geared Deadlift Max! Don't own a suit.no problem! Base it off of what you normally pull at a contest, with 2 belts on, straps, and hitched like a Hatfield and McCoy wedding. Really? Really! Really.Įveryone will take a crack at "The Westside Guys" and think that they only make progress because of gear, because of gear gear, or because of gifting referees. Just like every other single exercise that you do in the gym, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK HARD ON IT! 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps AIN'T GONNA CUT IT! If you told me that you just used whatever was on the reverse hyper for a couple sets of 4-8 reps and you were wondering WHY it didn't work for you it would be like if you couldn't figure out why your squat wasn't going up yet all you did for squats was walk over to the squat bar, get under whatever was left on there from the person before you, and did 4-8 reps and left. The reverse hyper does not work for most people because they don't work the reverse hyper. I couldn't feel it working so I just use it to put my phone/camera on and my drinks."

"I stopped using it because I never got anything from it. "Whatever is left on there from the person before, you don't need to use much." It's for the lower back so I don't need much." I'd ask someone "How much weight do you use on reverse hypers?" But it didn't take long for me to realize how few people actually use this machine even remotely closely to how it is supposed to be used for progress!

REVERSE HYPER FULL
I knew that every time I'd had severe back pain after long flights and traveling, I could get on any reverse hyper and do 4 sets of 10 with very little to no weight on it and normally it was rep 6 during set 3 that would reset my spine and get rid of all of my back pain.at least for nearly a full 24 hours.

I'm at the point to where I decided that I needed one if my career was going to last any longer (and if I was going to put off surgery).
REVERSE HYPER HOW TO
In the process of figuring out how to optimally train the reverse hyper I've been down several rabbit holes.

My wife bought me a Reverse Hyper for Christmas and it is outside on my back porch and I use it non-stop. So this is what most of my day begins with, finishes with, and what I think about in between.
