Why it matters for golf
Reverse Nordics load the quads eccentrically through a long range, building knee durability and front of thigh mobility. For golfers that means knees that tolerate load and hips that can extend without the thighs fighting back.
Coaching cues
- Tall kneeling, hips fully extended.
- Lean back in one line from knees to head.
- Go only as far as you can control.
- Pull back up with the quads.
Common faults
- Breaking at the hips and sitting toward the heels.
- Overarching the low back on the way down.
