Magnum Fitness is the manufacturer. It's a nice piece of equipment. Got it for a steal @ $600.
I'm pumped! I'm keeping it at the gym that I work out at until I put together my own gym.

I dont know why no gyms have them. And I dont have the space to keep one at home. Good for you, though.

If you're not going to bolt it into the floor you might want to put some weights over the back ends just for safety.
Also, if you lean forward on the pads and grab the back you can use it as a reverse hyper while holding a dumbbell between your legs (or wrapping a band around the base and your ankles... if you do this you'll want to wear long socks and use a small rope or string around the band and the bottom of your shoes to keep the band from rolling up your legs).
Congrats!

She's pretty. I have yet to find a gym around me that DOES have one. And are there enough people in Alaska to support 2 gyms?

How about his wife, she had a nice rack to??Originally Posted by dannyautrey
On a serious note, very nice piece of equipment you got there. Have never used one before but wish my gym had one as it's said to provide great benefits for the hamstrings that will carry over to squats/ deads.Florida Gulf Coast University Powerlifting

Nice e36 in the back ground.
I think I may try to weld one of these guys up. If I could source the pads it would be an easy and pretty cheap jobE-Stats and gym lifts

They are not really all that hard to make. A custom shop can usually make naugahide pads pretty cheaply if you supply the hardware. You can probably find somewhere local fairly easily.Originally Posted by misterwaterfall

I have some people that we go to for all our our car interior stuff that Im sure would be able to make a pad up for me. Im gonna request one at my gym, and when that fails I will probably try to find the dimensions and get going. If I do Il take some pics and make a little build guide if anyone is interestedOriginally Posted by Arlecchino

I like your piece of equipment Danny. Uh, er... I mean.
Anywho, since we are on the subject, somebody school me as to why these are so different from a manual hamstring curl. (srs) I don't mean leg curl.

Looks like that unit sells for about $940 new. Nice score, dawgbrah.Last edited by Chokenpuke; 12-15-2009 at 10:42 AM.

the difference is hip flexion. The glute ham raise bottom position has locked knees but your hip is flexed. so to get to the top you have to extend your hip and flex your knees.Originally Posted by Chokenpuke
a hamstring curl your body is rigid and you only flex your knees.

plus if you're doing ghrs properly, your knees are not on the pad, but off of them, stressing the hamstrings more.Originally Posted by theflyingdutch

Cool dude, remember to pull with your hamstrings not your lower back.

Nice! love GHR.
Being a real lifter is not about a number, or a medal, or somebody else telling you that you are a real lifter. It is about commitment to the iron and strength of purpose.
