Body Masters 45 Degree Hyperextension

Body Masters 45 Degree Hyperextension is a really solid piece of equipment that has a lot of padding that allows for a comfortable while performing the movement.

Simple, basic and overbuilt, always enjoyed using this hyper extension at the commercial gym back in CT

A nice back extension I've found a couple times in commercial gym. The padding is nice and it goes pretty far down your quads which adds comfort. Only component is that its not very high off the ground so grabbing a barbell or weights isnt easy unless you elevate it off the ground

This is an equipment from a bygone era when mass monsters roamed hardcore gyms. Its build quality is unsurpassed and, as a fan of weighted back extensions, I love not having to worry about the weight capacity of my equipment. It has a thick and comfortable padding, and the necessary split for certain anatomical features of its users. It ended up in my hands through good fortune or providence. A dear old lady whose husband had passed had listed it on FB marketplace for free (!), and I luckily was the first one to send her the annoying message, "Is this still available?" She said it was and was kind enough to hold it for me while I drove an hour to pick it up. Given the circumstances under which I acquired it, it serves as a memento mori (a reminder of death) for me that I am simply its next custodian, and that it will outlast me. I am not giving this the highest rating in terms of value because it is only available through the secondhand market, and it can be expensive (one would be lucky to find one under $500 range). For the price that one would be able to find this secondhand, there are solid options elsewhere. But if you are able to find one at a decent price, it's definitely worth getting.
