Add the hinge pattern: Deadlift, RDL, Glute Bridge, Hip Thrust, Back Extension

The biggest hole in the coverage matrix - the hinge had zero entries in
any modality. Deadlift and Romanian Deadlift are the library's first
standing (camera.zoom) and first barbell motions.

# Back Extension
The roman-chair hinge — hips anchored on the pad, fold forward, then raise
the trunk back in line with the legs.
- **Category:** Main circuit
- **Type:** Machine-based back extension (hip hinge)
- **Targets:** Spinal erectors, glutes, hamstrings
- **Prescription:** 3 × 1015
## Setup
Set the pad so its top edge sits at the crease of your hips — you must be
able to fold freely over it. Hook your heels under the ankle rollers,
cross your arms over your chest.
## Execution
1. Fold forward over the pad with a controlled, mostly-flat back.
2. Lower until the hamstrings stop you, without going slack.
3. Squeeze glutes and back to raise the trunk until it lines up with the
legs — no higher.
## Cues
- Movement comes from the hips with the back held long.
- Rise to a straight body line, not into an arch.
- Slow down; momentum does nothing here.
## Common Mistakes
- Pad set too high, blocking the hinge.
- Hyperextending past the body line at the top.
- Swinging up with momentum.
## Progression
Slow the lowering phase, add a pause at the top, then hold a plate to the
chest for load.
