help with back extensions

[Maverick]

When I do them the pad crushes my nuts !!!

is the pad to high ? if so where do you have the pad ?
any tips on doing this exercise ?

thanks for the help in advance

Maybe you need to spread your legs a bit

You cna put that pad in various palces depending on what you want to hit the hardest

on stomach for working spinal erectors through its full ROM

Or if you put the pad really low so that your ankle are barely on the rollers then it will hit the hams harder

thanks...... but how would spreading my legs help ?

anybody else know where to put the pad ? on my thigh ? or waist ?

please help...

thanks

drop the extensions totally and do deadlifts.

get circumsized, your penis will be smaller and interfere less... just kidding. I do one set of hyper extensions to warmup before doing deads. my nuts dont get crushed bt it doesn't feel right on the hams. I may be to tall for the extensions even on the highest setting... dunno.
