In the UK the machine can be purchased from <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.strengthshop.co.uk\/reverse-hyper.html\" target=\"_blank\">strengthshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7MthYct8yxQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=47&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The machine is said to both relieve pressure in the lower back and increase blood circulation to the area. The inventor is the famous Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a great way to train your lower back without loading it with weight and risking injury caused by compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i9tU7_w7rvw?t=4s\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/i9tU7_w7rvw?t=4s<\/a><br> Many people see the reverse hyper and have no idea how to use it! Louie invented the machine to heal his back after a series of injuries. It not only worked for rehab &#8211; he went out to set a number of powerlifting records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who invented the reverse hyper machine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Westside barbell legend, Louie Simmons invented the reverse hyper machine, following a back injury in his lumbar vertebrae after doing a good-morning exercise incorrectly in 1973. He was forced out of training and couldn&#8217;t work for approximately a year. After experimenting with some exercises, found some relief in his back pain by reversing the motion of the hyper-extensions that were previously part of his training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use the Reverse Hyper Machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step into the straps\/pads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place you belly &amp;
