GHD Machines
A GHD machine is great for isolating and working your glutes and hamstrings. In fact, it will work all muscles in the posterior chain including your calves and lower back. We offer a great range of Glute Ham Developer machines here at GymEquipment.co.uk. Check out the full range below and browse our wider range of glute machines for more options.
The glute ham raise machine allows for eccentric exercise: slow lengthening exercise that contracts a specific muscle. It will effectively build muscle mass and strength, and enhance athleticism for better explosiveness and power in the hips. It will also create more power in compound lifts like deadlifts and squat cleans.
The glute ham developer stimulates the posterior chain and strengthens secondary muscles to improve mobility, posture, and flexibility. Hip mobility is also improved which allows for a great range of motion. In addition, your core is engaged in the entire movement, so core stability is targeted.
The GHD gym machine uses body weight so will benefit you in functional movement, building functional strength. It also provides an excellent workout for the lower back.
The main muscles worked in the glute ham raise machine are the glutes and hamstrings. This is a great machine to work on these two muscle groups. Secondary muscles worked include the calves and lower back.
Alternatives to the GHD machine are a barbell and a good, padded cushion. With these, you can do the Nordic Curl!
When searching for a glute ham machine, look for quality materials — a sturdy steel frame is a great indicator. Also, check the comfort and durability of the padding. Many home gym users prefer machines with wheels for easy mobility as well.
