Behdad Salimi Back Extensions Almaty 2014 Training Hall

December 28, 2014 By Gregor Winter

Here is a funny moment from the 2014 Worlds Training Hall.

Behdad Salimi testing the structural integrity of a massage table while doing some Back Extensions (Hyperextensions) with the help of Kianoush Rostami and Jaber Behrouzi.

With Kianoush’s 85kg and Jaber’s 69kg that’s a solid 154kg of counterweight.

(Video also on Facebook and Instagram @atginsta)

While the training hall with its 64 brand new eleiko competition sets + platforms was very well equipped, one piece of equipement seemed to be missing – something to do Back Extensions on.

This was the one assistance exercise athletes from every nation were doing at the end of a training session. So athletes and coaches had to be creative and improvise a bit.

Most resorted to using one the massage tables while others (lighter weight classes) just used a chair.

    Gregor, were you allowed to hit some weights in the training hall if you want?
