- This exercise is often performed on the GHD (Glute-Ham Developer) piece of equipment.
- If your gym does not have one, the lat pulldown is an alternative. I actually like this method better.
- Facing away from the lat pulldown, kneel on the seat and place your ankles underneath the pads that are for your legs.
- Start with your torso upright and use a pole or bar (I’m using a lat pulldown bar) to assist you throughout the exercise – mainly on the way back up.
- Slowly lower yourself towards the ground. It should take you at least 4-5 seconds or longer.
- On the way back up, use both your hamstrings and the assistance of the pole/bar to bring your body back up.
