And while we're at it, should I do leg workouts during riding season ( summer ) ?
You're supposed to work out a muscle group once a week and then let it rest so it seems there's no way doing squats and deadlifts would do anything but destroy my legs while I try to cram in miles during the short months in Canada where the weather gods don't rain white poop on everything.
I'm not familiar with 'Supermans'. Hyperextensions are:
Weighted hyperextensions are these - with a weight held against your chest.
Without the right equipment, you can use a regular bench, and do this:
Or - at home - hook your feet under a bad / couch / whatever, and do the best approximation. Some people like to do this at home without anchoring the feet, and letting them lift as high as possible (with straight knees). I can see that may have a 'superman" look about it! LOL
