'''Back extension''' is a [[strength training]] exercise. It is done for strengthening lower back muscles.

Using equipment, it can be done by lowering the body from a stand and raising back using the [[roman chair]], or using a back extension machine where body pushes a weight backwards.

Without using equipment, it is done by lying face-down on the floor, and lifting the torso and arms together up off the floor. This is also called [[hyperextension (exercise)|hyperextension]].
