Ghr
Wow just wow. I remember reading a piece Greg wrote about glute ham raises but this blew me away. I have never done a GHR that comes anywhere close to this.

Of course my GHR is nowhere near that caliber, in fact mine is about as low budget you can get for one that is purchased. I am going to try some of those moves this weekend at Greg's seminar.

GHRs are brutal. Definitely ease into them like you would a GHD sit-up. Known to produce some seriously crippling hamstring soreness.

Anyone else feel that doing GHR's on a apparatus are much easier than doing them on the ground with a person holding your feet?

Of course. The machine provides a HUGE leverage advantage even moving the axis of rotation up a few inches from the knees. |

Cool website btw, like a youtube for exercises.

It looked to be the same one you posted over the Crossfit board right?
