One such individual being the Canadian coach, Tony Dolezel. Several others have made claims to inventing the Reverse Hyper during the 1970s. While Louie is undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in the Iron Lifting game, there are reasons to believe that he merely perfected the machine, as opposed to inventing it. By the early 1990s, Louie had patented his machine and began selling it to the grateful gym going masses. Enter the Reverse Hyper Extension once more and Louie is soon setting world records with relative ease. A comeback he repeated once more in the 1980s after breaking his back yet again.

Included in this was a series of acupuncture, stretching and weighted exercises. Injuries is perhaps putting it mildly as several of these injuries involved breakages to certain vertebrae! Refusing traditional medical approaches, which included removing two discs in his back, Louie took to a series of alternative methods. In the early 1970s, Louie Simmons, the famed world recording breaking powerlifter and founder of Westwide Barbell club, suffered a series of injuries to his back. The story from traditional powerlifting lore goes as follows: Indeed, so popular has the machine become that home gym lifters have begun to create their own DIY versions, so that they too can enjoy the benefits. As more and more lifters are drawn to powerlifting, weightlifting and crossfit, its likely that the machine’s popularity will only grow.
While the machine is still somewhat niche, it’s popularity has grown greatly since the ’80s and ’90s when the first prototypes were initiated.
For those of sound body, but perhaps not sound mind, the exercise has also improved many a PR owing to its crossover into the deadlift and squat.

Distinct from the back extension or Romanian deadlift, done correctly, this exercise is perhaps one of the most effective machines to grace the gym floor. Targeting the glutes, hamstrings and lower back, the machine is a simple but effective way of strengthening the posterior chain like nothing else. Well if you suffer from back pain or are seeking to improve your squat or deadlift numbers, the reverse hyper extension machine promises to do a heck of a lot!
