I was going to call this article:
“5 Things To Do on the Glute Ham Bench That You Probably Aren’t Doing”
But the sexual innuendo was just too much, even for me, so, it got edited.
But I can come up with way more than 5 things….
Alrighty then, with that out of the way, I’m going to drop 5 Exercises To Do on the Glute Ham Bench That You Probably Aren’t Doing today.
In no particular order, here we go:
1. Back Raise-Row:
I’m a huge fan of this for many reasons, including:
Works the enire back of the body at once
Wicked hard
Lots of work in a little time
Variable
What do I mean by variable?
Well, it has almost limitless ways to do it. You can use bands, chains, barbells, dumbells for resistance.
The combinations are endless and it’s easy to set up.
2. Single Leg Back Raise:
C’mon?
How many of you do these?
Exactly.
No one.
Start.
3. GHR Paddles:
Absolute smoker of an ab exercise.
Do them right the first time and you’ll hate me.
You’ll thank me later.
4. GHR Face Up Pull Aparts:
Abs and Upper Back all in one?
Yup.
You know my feelings on getting in density of work right?
This fills the bill.
5. GHR Side Bends:
Another killer torso variation.
A strong torso not only looks good, it allows you to lift more and helps protect your lower back.
Why not use different movements and hit the whole thing?
I’ve got about 50 more that I can list, but these 5 Exercises To Do on the Glute Ham Bench That You Probably Aren’t Doing will get you going in the right direction.
Oh, and please stop calling it a GHD.
It’s a GHR.
There’s your grumpy old man again.
Oh, and:
