Weighted Isometric Back Extension Holds

A day before Klokov Power Weekend I spend an afternoon with Elena Sukhar (2016 Russian champion) and her coach Maksim Mironov at Kokov & Baza Team in Moscow.

I filmed her entire training session which I’ll upload hopefully later this week or maybe next week.

Below you can see her doing minute long weighted Back Extension Holds at the end of her training session.

First she did a set unweighted, then with two 10kg plates added. Maksim values this exercise greatly (he likes it more than GHD), as a rigid back is one of the most important things in weightlifting.

Try it!

Update: Here is the Full Training Session!
