Should You Buy a GHD/GHR?

Yes I should... I was literally the only person at my commercial gym using it pre-covid. I’ve already ordered one. My hamstrings are by far my strongest muscle group and GHR as helped me go from a 455 DL to 585. Along with the Ab work and low back extensions.

as a third piece of gear after power rack and functional trainer, yes it is good but focus on power rack/barbells, dumbbells and functional trainer. This falls into the nice to have category.
Made the same mistake. Went with the Reverse Hyper first thinking it would help low back issues from an old injury. Wasted a good chunk of change. The GHD though is awesome. Giant sets on the ghd with stiff leg deads will melt your glutes and hams and surprisingly, no more back issues.

Reverse hypers caused back pain for me where there hadn't ever been any to begin with. If I do them, I get jacked up. If I don't do them, my back stays fine. I bought one and it was a mistake as well.
thanks for the review. I've been close a few times on pulling the trigger for one of these, but I felt there's gotta be a diy version I can do. I ended up coming across and article where Bud Charinga became obsessed with this machine after he figured out what the Soviets were using it for, so then he made his own version with a saw horse, wrapped and nailed a cushion on top of it, (like a diy pommel horse) and used his barbell to hold his legs down. So I think I'll go that route but I'll also make stall bars to hold my legs in place. Then I can fold up the saw horse and put it away to make room.

I bought a $250 Titan GHD a couple of years ago and absolutely don't regret it. I was originally on the fence as wether to buy a reverse hyper or the GHD and ultimately decided to get the GHD.1. Because of price, & 2. Because I figured that I could hopefully recreate the reverse hyper movement with bands on the GHD + all of the traditional GHD exercises.

I started with sets of 1 90 days ago and am now up to 3 sets of 9. In my home gym my leg workouts consist of squats or deadlifts and this. That’s all.

I didn’t find the GHD to be particularly helpful but fixing the lower body clearly makes sense as a strength developer and some customers need that extra work.

You might be able to do it with a couple of roller pads mounted to your rack.
Definitely feel a GHD/GHR would be more beneficial than a reverse hyper, feel you can do more on the GHD/GHR However if committing to getting one I would make sure other strength equipment would come first I train for functional strength/health these days, but I do like to incorporate some body-building components and some powerlifting components in my strength training In order I'd say 1. Some sort of power rack/half rack/combo rack etc to perform major compound lifts and be the epicentre of your gym, along with your non-negotiable barbell/plates etc. Maybe bands too for a bit of versatility or accessory work, particularly for power racks and half racks where bands can be looped around anywhere and everywhere 2. A bench, preferably an adjustable one for more exercise variation 3. Set of dumbbells, maybe kettlebells if you're into crossfit and stuff 4. A landmine/torsinator, tons and tons of stuff you can do with one. If you own a top quality power rack, a pair of jammer/lever arms would probably work better instead Then a GHD/GHR probably comes into play, along with other specialist machines/pieces like a leg press, lat pulldown/high-low pulley system, preacher bench etc. A good well equipped power rack/half rack eliminates the need for a power tower (chin up/dip station)

@@BasementBrandon you've probably heard it a few times already from others, but over the last two months I've decided also to convert over to a home gym and the pandemic definitely was an instigator, but feel it's the right decision long-term and not a decision I'll regret and watching your videos (and other reviewers like Coop from GGR) have definitely helped me with things to look out for on the market when selecting equipment. Felt in particular that there were far more convenience and time related benefits training at home compared to sticking with my local commercial gym (still closed) which had a tendency of being extremely busy peak hour mid afternoon onwards weekdays, frustrating me on some particular days, like chest or leg day and after 16 years of gym training, I feel ready to move on. Currently in the process of identifying and saving up for a rack, was able to secure a quality adjustable bench (rated at over 800 pounds but I reckon it could take more) and some hex dumbbells/stand to start off with, but saving for that rack in about 2-3 months time. I think a mix of things like a quality heavy duty 1000+ pound rating build, such as the steel has to be at least 3mm thick and somewhere around 60-80mm in build with long structural frame warranties of say at least 10 years just in case something goes wrong. Then potential expandability, working within space/footprint but also be at a reasonable price point will come into my decision making (don't mind paying more for good quality). Last but not least a reasonable supplier to deal with as customer service is important too. But anyways, love your videos mate and seeing an insight into your wealth of knowledge in this area.

I have the rogue ghd 1.0. Really regret not buying the 2.0 as that one is easier to adjust from the looks of things. When I got it, I barely used it. These days I use it a lot. Great for warming up before squats. Great for some ab exercises, but as you say you can do that without it. Think a better use of the space it takes up would be a plate loaded lat pulldown/low row if there were any decent ones for a similar price.

I actually think if I were buying new I don't know if I'd go GH1 or Abram. Once it's set I haven't found I need to adjust really.
Bret Contreras on T- Nation wrote an article on peak torque force comparison between GHR vs. 45° hyperextension bench. Basically 45° hyper offers overall better peak torque forces than GHR, for the hip musculature is under constant tension at the beginning and end ROM, where peak force occurs once torso is parallel to floor. Thus your better off buying a 45° back extension bench instead.

I got a hyperextension bench where I lay down reversly, attach some rubber bands on the bottom of the machine an do reverse hyper. So I saved a lot of money, space and can do 3 exercises.

Definitely can’t replicate this. I’m all about improvising but there is nothing you can do to actually replicate this. Especially being able use weights and rubber bands. Most gyms don’t have it either I think it’s super necessary if you have a weak posterior chain.

Brandon Campbell Diamond I only have this Ghd and a power rack at home. A little jealous you got a deal on it because I had to dish out rogue full price lol. Love the content 🤙🏼
Brandon can you tell me which would be better for lower back mu son is a offensive lineman and I want to help his squats he is 6' 5" 280. Would this or a reverse hyper be better for low back. Thanks Eric

For me, I got more out of the GHD than the Reverse Hyper. I'd try to have him try both in a gym before committing to either!
Too bad you didnt like teh reverse hyper. I used one every day while the gyms were still open and i loved it.

@@BasementBrandon Btw seeing as how you like to try new stuff, have you ever trained with macebells? They dont take up a lot of space but its incredible fun and so good for your shoulders. Both light light maces are fun to do extended flows with as wel as heavy maces just for 360's and 2-10's.

Do paving & pressure washing I've had major lower back pain for about 9 years now. I've had my back go out where I felt paralyzed for hours. Times I would be walking and my knees buckled out and I almost drop to the floor but catch myself before dropping to my knees. A whole lot of sorness. Up until a month ago I read up on the whole reverse hyper thing and benefits. When I saw Rogue had a hot deal on the Westside Reverse Hyper I bought it. Been using it close to a month now and no bullshit.....my lower back has felt absolutely incredible and stronger. I'm all more nimbly bimbly and even more mobile than before lol. I've read where it has not worked for others and many who it has changed and rehabbed them. I'm one who it has done wonders for so far. I'm now about to buy the REP Fitness GHD as well to add to my gym
even if you train years youll not be able to do what the guy at 3:25 does. with ghd you can have progressions to this
