  • You said the first one you did (where you shortened the distance and increased the lever) had knee stress from being on the pad but it didn't look like the knees were on it... is that hidden because of the viewing angle?

    A danger of going too far up the thigh to avoid knee stress is if it places stress on the pelvis which is also undesirable...like how you do it 2nd...

    Also I am wondering, due to thigh and hip movement, with compression on the quadriceps, is it like a passive massage for them?

  • Brett-

    Great video as always. Here's a question for you. I have started doing back extensions (myself and with my clients) where the back of the apparatus is elevated (something I played around with after your first GH raise video). I have found a bit more tension at the peak of the motion and have actually found that most of my clients have tended not to place the un-needed stress into the lumbar with the exercise which is a common beginners problem. Thoughts?

  • Hi Brett,

    Great video as usual. I too saw the video where Smitty was raising the back of the GHD, but credit where credit is due, Joe Defranco has been doing this for years. He had a "punching power program" (or something like that on his "Ask Joe" blog that called for that many years ago. (I can't remember the exact name of the program at the moment.) Thanks for all the great videos and the fantastic blog.
