Bros I always tought during hyperextensions youre supposed to lift your torso with spinal erectors while engaging the glutes and hamstrings

But now ive seen videos saying you can round your back and engage your abs for more glute activation because it will remove the help from spinal erectors to lift yourself

So for glute focused hyperextensions is a good idea to round the back and keep abs flexed?

yes you want to put all the mechanical tension on your glutes if thats what youre trying to hit but theres loads of way better glute exercises anyway, i would only do back extensions for spinal erectors

The same applies for romanian deadlifts/good mornings? Keeping a round back with abs engaged will focus more on glutes?

I always tought the correct way was lift your torso with spine erectors and bring the hips as forward as possible with glutes/hamstrings

you dont want to keep a "round" back but most people make the mistake of rounding their back the opposite way and sticking their back out giving anterior pelvic tilt, you want a neutral pelvic tilt and neutral back or slightly forward as long as its comfortable and you can feel the glutes, just trust the feeling and mind muscle connection because 99% of the time its right

Yeah if you dont squeeze the glutes and only the spine erectors it will put pressure on the lower back

Neutral spine and hips is what I aimed for by lifting the torso with erectors+squeezing glutes hard to push the hips forward

But now I see videos recommending a rounded back,abs activated instead of erectors and trying to rotate the pelvis, because apparently posteriot tilt activates glutes better because the erectors dont help the movement this way and its more glute focused
