Do you have your favorite exercises in that area?

Hyperextensions saved my hurting back.

I am using machine similar to this:

Amazon.com: Body-Solid® PowerLine Chair / Back Hyper Extension: Sports & Outdoors

Actually I posted picture of me on that machine, here:
Spine surgery L3 -L5 - Page 2

except on the picture I was in position to do crunches not hyperextensions
