We use a Glute-Ham bench with our athletes, and although not always present at training facilities, they are a great addition to any training space. The Glute-Ham bench is often adjustable, which provides comfortable and stable support that allows athletes to complete movements and hold specific positions. These exercises target the hamstrings, glutes, lower back and abdominals.
Here are eight challenging exercises that you can do at the glute-ham bench station!
GHR Hollow Hold Halo
GHR Side Plank Hold with Plate Press
GHR MB Reverse Hyperextension
GHR Back Extension
GHR Glute-Ham Raise
GHR Hollow Hold with Single Arm Plate Reach Over Shoulder
GHR Single Leg Hamstring Iso Hold
GHR Hollow Hold with Plate Press Overhead
