Pro Hyperextension “Bulldog” – Commercial Back Extension Machine (Expected availability: October 2026)
Built for demanding posterior chain training
Availability expected from October 2026.
The Pro 45° Hyperextension “Bulldog” is a commercial-grade 45 degree back extension bench designed for effective posterior chain training in strength gyms, functional fitness facilities, athletic training centers and high-performance home gyms.
45° hyperextensions are among the most essential strength training machines for developing the lower back, glutes and hamstrings. Whether used for back extensions, glute-focused hypers, core stability training or band-resisted posterior chain work, this machine delivers a stable and comfortable platform for athletes of all sizes.
The Bulldog represents a modern reinterpretation of the classic Roman chair / 45 degree hyperextension bench, combining durable commercial construction, compact footprint, and user-focused ergonomics. Its distinctive stance — with extended front feet and a powerful silhouette — gives the machine its name and creates a visual presence on the gym floor that resembles a sitting bulldog.
Designed for both heavy gym use and smooth day-to-day operation, the frame integrates transport wheels at the front and a knurled rear handle, allowing staff and athletes to move the machine easily when reorganising training spaces.
Comfort and functionality are central to the design. The angled split pads with a widened gap allow a natural hip position while avoiding uncomfortable pressure or pinching. This ensures comfortable use during high-volume back extension sets or heavy posterior chain work.
Rubber-coated side handles make entering and exiting the machine secure and intuitive. The pinless height adjustment system allows fast and precise setup for athletes ranging from approximately 1.60 m to well over 1.95 m, while maintaining exceptional structural stability.
For advanced training applications, the Bulldog includes front mounting holes for band pegs, enabling resistance band hyperextensions, progressive overload and variable resistance training.
With its 60 × 60 mm heavy-duty steel frame, refined ergonomics and clean aesthetics, the Pro Bulldog is built for strength gyms, powerlifting facilities, XFit boxes, athletic performance centres and demanding home gyms looking for a durable 45° hyperextension machine.
