Best Hamstring Exercise? How To Perform Glute Ham Raises

Build stronger hamstrings with the glute ham raise machine (otherwise known as the glute ham developer). Follow this complete tutorial including how to program the GHR!

The glute ham raise is the only exercise that takes the hamstring through their full range of motion - from the origin at the ischial tuberosity to the insertion on the shank.

[andyhellemans]

"it takes up a big footprint" I live in a small appartment and i just bought one... I love it and i think i'm going to get rid of my dinning table. Who needs a dinning table anyway?

Best ghr video on YouTube...no one else explains where exactly to place your knees.

[ckelley]

Wow, I love this guy's presence as a trainer! Concise but with deep explanations about the exercise technique, what's going on with each moment, the benefits, difficulty all the while talking specifically to the client as she does the exercise.
I'd totally go to this guy!

Extremely well explained. Great video.

Excellent exercise, i used it in my clients as accessory exercise in a routine with four day splits two times a week and it worked perfectly

[tsp]

Excellent explanation, really liked how he identified ways which the device could be calibrated to increase difficulty.
Will say though that stronger/larger hamstrings, which result from well-programmed GHR work, can definitely be beneficial for the squat too

[mewtv]

Exact video i was looking for. Thank you!

[Kayeinel]

Modulating the intensity on these is easier than the nordic hamstring curl

I always thought you just went to parallel to the floor, nobody else in my gym does them this way. Glad to see the proper form

came across this exercise back in the 90's. from what I read, track runners have been doing this exercise, long before I read about it. the article called it the GHG raise, glute/ham/gastroc, and claimed it was the only exercise that contracts the hamstring at both the hip and knee joints, at the same time. the article was in a magazine called "Sports Fitness", that was published by Joe Weider of "Muscle Builder" fame...the article was titled, "How not to pull a Hamstring".

Thanks for a great video. An excellent detailed explanation, which includes cautionary notes.
