When you make an extreme effort, do you bend over backward? Or do you bend over backwards?

I add the "S," but then some people tell me I often make an "S" or myself.

In the UK we bend over backwards. One treats with considerable suspicion anyone who offers to bend over forwards for one.

Only if I were the monarch! We don't do the bowing thing - a slight inclination of the head is more than enough.
