A hip hinge with your hands behind your head, which trains your hamstrings and the muscles along your spine.

It goes into the workout in progress at the Bench, as a new group in its main set.
Set up
Stand with your feet hip width apart and a soft bend in your knees. Rest your fingertips lightly behind your head with your elbows wide, or cross your arms over your chest if that bothers your shoulders.
While you move
- Hips back, elbows wide
- Flat back, long neck
- Tip until your hamstrings pull
- Hips forward to stand tall
Avoid
- Rounding your back at the bottom
- Pulling on your neck
- Bending your knees too much
Take care if you have trouble with your lower back.
