Back Extension #4 is also known as which exercise name?

• A. Adductor Squeeze
• B. Lat Pulldown
• C. Hamstring Curl
• D. Thigh Abduction

Answer: (D)

Think about how exercise names reflect the movement you perform. In this Back Extension variation, the key action is the thighs moving outward away from the midline while you extend the spine. That outward leg movement is thigh abduction, so the best-known name for this variation is Thigh Abduction. The other options don’t match the movement: Adductor Squeeze focuses on bringing the thighs together (adduction), Lat Pulldown is an arm-dominant pulling exercise, and Hamstring Curl involves bending the knee.
