Eric Roberts shows how small setup changes target different muscles. Hold weight in front during back extensions for glutes instead of lower back. On the Smith machine, a wider stance hits glutes more than a narrow one. Side step-ups and slow downward step-ups both boost glute activation.
When you hold the weight close to your body on back extensions, you're gonna work more of your lower back. When you hold the weight down in front of you, you're gonna work more of your glute. When you do tricep extensions with a rope, you're gonna work more of this part of your tricep right here. When you do tricep extensions overhead, you're gonna work more of this part of your tricep. When your feet are closer in on the Smith machine, you're gonna work more of your quad. And when your feet are farther away, you're gonna work more of your glute. When you do step-ups to the side, you're gonna work more of your glute. And when you do a regular step-up but go super slow on the way down, you're also going to work your glute. And when you finish a heavy workout, make sure you finish with cardio. Psych! April Fools'.
