Athlete365 finally has a glute ham raise.
I was holding off on getting one until we move into a bigger location (spring 2012), but the need was too great.
Glute ham raises (some call them glute ham developers) are the best way to target the hamstrings through a full range of motion.
Before getting this piece of equipment I had clients doing a lot of RDLs, Single Leg RDLs, Good Mornings, and Poor man glute hams. They are all great exercises, but glute ham raises are the most effective in my opinion.
Maybe you are asking why is targeting the hamstrings so important?
Weak hamstrings and underdeveloped glutes (butt muscles) are the big reason why people have low back issues.
Therefore, strengthening both areas with glute ham raises is a sure way to reduce or get rid of low back issues.
Besides correcting low back pain, glute ham raises are a must-do exercise for athletes. Making the glutes and hamstrings stronger will reduce chances of hamstring injury, and will make athletes stronger and faster.
