hyperextensions

[Papi93]

Just before you posted I figured it out. Yeah, I have done something similar to that, except it was an abdominal variant. When doing leg raises for the lower abs, I had my workout partner pull backwards on my legs as soon as I had fully flexed my pelvis so as to increase the eccentric loading on the lower abs. It wasn't specifically for the hip flexors, but a very similar exercise and it used to hit them very hard!!

For athletes, why can't a similar exercise be done for the hip extensors ? I have never seen it done.

Neither have I. I guess its because there are enough hip extension exercises out there. But I can see the merit of it. Bunny hops are not good enough for the hams as a plyo because the knees are fully flexed and the glutes take over. They are good for the quads obviously...
