Homemade Glute Ham Raise (Nordic raise, natural leg curl...)

http://www.tssathletics.com/

I know this is not a true glute ham raise, they are actually natural leg curls, or Nordic raises, tomAtoes or tomatoes, it doesnt really matter that much, what matters is that they strengthen the backside pretty effectively. I know this is not as good as any piece that Westside or EliteFTS puts out, they are obviously better. But, they are $700-$2000 more expensive. If you have the cash and space, by all means get the good stuff. But this will get you going and probably sufficient for most people. I have a real GHR from Garage Gym Store (which I do NOT recommend, sorry), but I choose to perform the movement this way sometimes as well, just like I vary my style of pushups. There's more than one way to flog a molly. I just got tired of finding a place to tuck my feet under or getting someone to hold my feet, or holding someone else's feet while they strain with the movement and rip a fart in your face. This is easy to put together, very cheap or free with available parts, and requires very little time and effort for the strength you can gain in your posterior chain. This is also a great way to spot yourself and adjust the resistance/assistance for the movement.

So what exactly is the difference between what you are doing and the actual GHR movement???

Could you modify what you have to be more like an actual GHR machine???

Great vid, thanks!

@yyportne the major difference is that I keep my hips open the whole time and stop flat on the floor here, (knee extension - knee flexion) while a true ghr you would hinge at the hip and flex about 90 degrees then return to neutral and then flex the knee to return, so it goes knee extension - hip flexion - hip extension - knee flexion. if I made it the proper length to hinge my hips around the end of it and raised it up a few feet I guess you could a modified version, but this is good as is
