Reverse Nordics

Kneeling backward lean for the quads. Eccentric quad strength and length for knee health and a stable lower body.

mobility

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.
