How to do it

  1. 01

    Secure one end of the band to the lower portion of a post and attach the other to one ankle.

  2. 02

    Facing the attachment point of the band, hold on to the column to stabilize yourself.

  3. 03

    Keeping your head and your chest up, move the resisted leg back as far as you can while keeping the knee straight.

  4. 04

    Return the leg to the starting position.

In the app

Hip Extension with Bands appears when you own bands and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have bands

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
