[QUOTE=BAVE;1000473823]Anyone have recommendations for a compact GHD (relatively speaking)?[/QUOTE]
this is the one im getting in the summertime: [url]http://www.flexcart.com/members/elitefts/default.asp?m=PD&cid=295&pid=3704[/url]
someone is selling it for $450 shipped on ebay: [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Home-GHR-Gym-Machine-GLUTE-HAM-RAISE-Adjustable-Bands-Weight-Lifting-PRO-STATION-/271127719211?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f2078ad2b[/url]
When i move and have a 2 car garage im going w/ this one (the one w/ the reverse hyper combo): [url]http://www.texasstrengthsystems.com/ghr.html[/url]
[url="http://orlandobarbell.com/store/cart/"]orlando barbell[/url] is the originator (as far as i can tell). it's a bit cheaper than 450$ with shipping for me.

for me its $444 and i have to wait 4-6 weeks, that ebay link is only $6 more and i get it in 1-2 weeks. But i get what you are saying.
Edge Fitness Systems sells one also: [url]http://www.********.com/pages/Edge-Fitness-Systems/190593644315096?sk=photos_stream#!/photo.php?fbid=192983677409426&set=pb.190593644315096.-2207520000.1356659684&type=3&theater[/url]

Wont work exact same way as a semi circle GHR.
You can make one yourself for cheap (see the link) [url]http://tnation.t-nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_body_training_performance_bodybuilding_strength/poor_mans_equipment_thread?id=1132144&pageNo=2[/url]
so is the new thing now natural glute ham raises? seems to be the trend with these types of machines and Westside coming out the inverse curl machine and touting it as better than a ghd...or am i misunderstanding?

But this will let you do only "Natural GHR" aka "Russian Leg Curl". You don't need fancy equipment to do them.
Before getting real GHR I was doing them on regular bench with feet under lat tower leg hold down. It only works hams eccentrically, not much of a glutes and lower back involvement and was quite hard on knees. You need rounded pad to do the movement right, Orlando GHR is the one that looks like up to the job.

And there is also a Partner GHD, not a big fan of it as you need a partner and there is no plate to push feet against

Interesting one. Looks like it could be stored vertically to save a bit of space like the Orlando Barbell floor GHD. Looks like it would be a bit better if it had the additional set of foot rollers and a plate instead of foot bar.
what about this?

Im sure rick from edgefitness can customize it for a small fee to fit your needs.
The OBB floor ghr looks like it takes up less room, but the edge fitness ghr looks it can work w/ bands (loop bands under feet where the kettle bell is) and the edge fitness doenst need to be weighted down like the OBB.
Over all i would go w/ the OBB, but thats just me. I heard some guy say if you want to do back raises he just puts it on a bench and says it works.

Williams and EliteFTS version is more but similar in price to the Edge. The advantage over the Orlando BB is likely heft (doesnt need weighing down) and can be ordered in custom colors and vinyl.

Looking at Legend options, the Varsity GHD 7003 is only 113lbs, and has a 20" x 63" footprint so by GHD standards its relatively compact (light and narrow). It looks like it's also in the $500 range and ships cheaper due to bolted configuration.
Compared to heavier 200lb GHD its narrow width and light weight may make it easy to store next to a bench in the rack. I can't seem to find any reviews on it though.

It's better than Orlando (spare foot bar but I am sure that can be fixed), but if you look at the footprint you do not save that much space versus going full size GHR.
There are also GHR rack attachments available from some fabricators that might work if you are space constrained. Just another idea.

OBB has the split pad (i have never used a GHR so i dont have preference) however many people say go w/ split pad if you have an option. The elitefts home ghr you posted doesnt have a tilted pad like the OBB (never understood why it doesnt cuz dave tate has said multiple times "if the ghr doesnt have a tilted pad, dont buy it" paraphrasing of course, but he has said something similar multiple times.

Split pad gets more critical for back extensions, on floor model you wouldn't have enough room to do them.

A proper GHD with a semi-circle pad is going to be better overall. Most people (myself included) cannot even come close to performing a single rep of a natural GHR/Russian Leg Curl/whatever. With a regular GHD you still obliterate the hamstrings but you can actually do a few reps, and it's useful for other exercises like back extensions and situps.
Lots of better things to spend that sort of money on though in my opinion... I don't think I would buy a GHD even if I won the lottery.
OK, then so far it looks like the Orlando BB is most compact and probably doesn't sacrafice much unless its going to be used for extensions.

I am a big fan of that one. I am still unsure of my need of a GHD, but if I were to get one, that would be the one I'd want.
Having not used one yet, I don't know what I'm missing. My wife insists I buy one for my home gym. So we'll be getting one! I just don't know which yet, will probably be with whoever the manufacturer of the Power Rack ends up being to save on shipping...
[QUOTE=jackbravo;1000537873]what about this?

Shae Miller (sp?) (in the posted video) is really doing a different exercise than Dave Tate (can be seen here: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqnt4E3AdMw[/url]).
Look at where Dave Tate puts his knees - they're several inches below the pad. As he comes up, he MUST drive with his toes in order to move his knees forward so that his thighs maintain contact with the pad so that he doesn't just slip down through the gap. And the more he drives with his toes, the more it helps bring him upwards. It's not a huge help, since the lever from his knees to the bottom of the pad is small, but it's some help. I have a GHD. I try to do GHRs on it like Dave Tate. Toe drive not only helps, but is required.
Now look at where Shae Miller puts his knees - they're several inches up on the pad. As he comes up, he CAN'T drive with his toes because his knees are already wedged firmly into the pad. The best thing HE can do is to wedge his ankles firmly under the top roller and pull from his heels. I'm unconvinced that the speed of his ascent has any meaning, as I can come up fast or slow at will, as can anyone with any exercise. But I'll believe what he's saying, because he's basically doing something somewhat closer to a natural GHR, and when I do natural GHRs (with band assistance), I hook my ankles under the roller and pull from my heels with no toe drive at all.
Two different exercises. Similar, yes. But different.
rack mounted?

If space is a concern, I would think the Orlando BB would be the best choice. When not using it, you simply lean it against the wall.

Same with me, I dont understand the hype with these things. I've had access to them but never wanted one. I've tried them and I have a hell of a hard time even performing 1 controlled rep so its not a very enjoyable workout. The crossfit crew blew these things up, probably because they are extremely difficult to do... which makes sense since the Crossfit workouts are known to be difficult in general. I will stick with my leg curl and back extension machines for now.

I agree, esp., as guy in review says, it can be broken in two pieces. Rack attachment still gonna take a lot of space when detached not much savings versus full size thing but more hassle for sure, bet that thing weighs a ton, so attaching and detaching it is not a picnic, unless you just attach it once an leave it there.

The crossfit crew does make it more popular, but I think most of them use it for GHD sit up (just sit up with extended ROM and extra momentum). When they used the GHDs at the crossfit games, that's all they used them for. Glute ham raises aren't really their thing. I think the movement is promoted by strength coaches and powerlifters more than crossfitters. The natural glute ham raises are difficult, but the ones done with an actual GHD aren't that bad. Actually, my lower back feels worse after leg curls than glute ham raises. And the leg curls weren't even that heavy. I must have done them wrong :)

Weirdly enough, more than the ham and glute workout, I've found GHRs and Reverse Hyper machines to have a surprisingly corrective and curative effect on long lingering lower back issues/pain. Though I don't know if that has to do with the exercise or the specifics of my injury.
[QUOTE=817boy;1000827263]Alot of PowerLifters say a GHR is a must for any gym (home or commercial)[/QUOTE]
Yeah but I think what eventually sold me on not needing one was when I saw Jim Wendler's gym. He came from being deeeep in the Westside and EliteFTS world and still doesn't have a glute ham. When I asked him what he does for hamstring/lowback stuff now he said RDLs and good mornings.

A GHR works the low back big time as well, especially if you go all the way down and do a back raise at the bottom. Reverse Hyper's are designed specifically for training the low back without stressing the spine, so it should be no surprise that you got some benefit from that.
I still think GHRs are [i]super[/i] overrated pieces of equipment though. I'd rather buy a Roman Chair for $50 on Craigslist just for back extensions, I don't need more than that personally. I've never found that training the hamstring from the distal (knee) end has benefited my deadlift, so I've always trained them from the proximal end with RDLs. Much more carryover for me as a powerlifter.

To each his own, im gonna get one in the summer time. Another benefit to using the GHR is (so i have read and been told by some PLers) is you can do ghrs every day for reps (if your strong enough) and never feel sore/beatup from them. If you try that w/ RDLs or Gmornings you will be sore.
No way im strong enough to do reps (gonna start w/ OBB home ghr) and work some negatives till i am stronger to do some for reps. plus i dont have enough room for a full size GHR right now.
your post above this says you get more carryover from RDLs, what set/rep range do you use? Thanks

This is probably true once you get acclimated to them. I've never done them as part of a consistent schedule, just for a couple workouts here and there when I've had access to them but GHRs always made me incredibly sore. RDLs not so much, but that's probably because I do them all the time.
[quote]your post above this says you get more carryover from RDLs, what set/rep range do you use? Thanks[/QUOTE]
I'm usually doing them for sets of 8 to 10, usually just 2 or 3 sets as back offs after a deadlift workout.

Soviets invented it, can't be good. :)
Generations of weight and powerlifters were raised w/o that piece of equipment, it's just another tool, that's it. I personally found it quite useful and to back up other poster's comment believe it helped me speed up by lower back recovery and strengthening, also adds nice variety to assistance work, for the usefulness I would rate it about as lat tower, sure one can live w/o it but sometimes it's nice to have.

I've dealt with musclular, ligamentous, and facet lumbosacral pain on and off for years (normal discs, no radiculopathy, only minor degeneration) so I'm hoping to be able to work the hams and glutes with less use of SLDLs.

I'm not sure I can explain the hype in general other than that for me at least, the exercise FEELS just about perfect. And I can make my hamstrings nice and sore on it. Hard to know how well that translates into muscle gains, of course. And it's not the kind of thing I can recommend unless you have budget and space. But then, that's where this thread comes in - a compact GHD saves space and budget.
And while natural GHRs are hard (I can only do them with significant band assistance), I don't consider GHD GHRs to be all that hard. If you're in shape (as you clearly are) and are struggling, it might be a form or machine adjustment issue, or maybe it's just that it's a new machine that your body isn't used to yet. I don't consider myself to be very strong, plus I'm fat and lifting up all that extra weight, and I don't have a problem cranking out a set of 15 or 20 if I keep my arms at my sides. Hands behind my head I've yet to complete 10. Failed on the tenth a couple days ago. And where you place the foot plate makes a huge difference. With the foot plate a single slot back from where I keep it now, I can crank out a bunch of them with a 45 pound plate held to my chest, which only means that that's too far back for me now. And I think it was one slot forward from where I am now where I hurt myself when I first bought the thing, so now I'm scared to bring it forward any further.

I've never used one but will report back on the Sorinex GHD (model FNGHD) when it arrives. Purchased one this weekend.

I always was wondering about that... So many plates and band pegs too, but no spotters?! Maybe he took them off for a cleaner picture, but it doesn't look like there's even holes for the spotters to attach to.
i believe this is the most compact one :D

[QUOTE=Skidmarx;1004802383]I'm sure he has a lifting crew.[/QUOTE]
Yeah he usually trains with other guys I guess. And the smartest way to lift is to never miss a lift anyways, Jim is a big fan of leaving a little in the tank. I doubt he would be attempting reps that he might miss anyways.
I received the OBB Glute Ham today. I have to wait until leg day to really put it to the test but from the one quick test run today I'm pretty excited. My hamstrings spasmed on the first rep and I had to limp back to my office.
