FLEX as I said I would, my leg curl video plus a SLDL

[bodyhard]

Here are the videos from tonight, sorry the audio was turn off, the music in the gym sucks anyway

Leg curls 270lbs


SLDL or some might say RDL 315lbs


And still I can not get 1 f'cking unassisted rep on GHR

[tmonkey]

You are really close on the ghr

[KenJenkinsII]

I will have to watch it again, I was too busy watching the shadow boxer in pajama pants behind you

Nice work.

I wish our gym had a plate loaded leg curl machine like that, because I am already repping the stack on ours for straight sets of 8.

Also have not tried the GHR yet....

Also have not tried the GHR yet....

Should you make the attempt... prepare to be humbled.

[fittofattofit]

Super-strong leg curls

[Guinea-pig]

Your SLDL are very impressive BH, you would think your GHR would come easily with that kind'a strenght.

[azeeb]

How low do you go with the SLDLs? It's a little hard to tell on the video, but it looks like a few inches below the knee. The plates aren't hitting the ground, right?

[JOHN GARGANI]

well, you certainly are a strong mutha, that is for sure, buddy...

personally: I like to hesitate on the SLDLs and concentrate on contracting my erectors....I don't like to use any speed or momentum in that movement...

as to the leg curls...YEESH...I do those with pansy weights..lol....

Nice work.

That is why I posted the video to show you that I can curl pretty decent weight yet the GHR kick my freaking ass.

Should you make the attempt... prepare to be humbled.

Yes, they are truly not a joke.

They are really tough, way harder than SLDL or Deadlifts for me at least

I am on a box, I go down till I feel a stretch on my hams

Super-strong leg curls

Thanks man

Yeah, I click it (the middle button) so the little icon is green, then click reply with quote- and it opens this quick reply windo with the last post quoted. Is there a next step to select quotes from posts further up the thread?

As he said, just click the button in the middle of the other two. When it is green you know it will show up in the reply page. Click the ones you want to multi-quote.

Don't click on the reply with quote button, just click the middle button on every post you want to quote. When you are done go to the bottom left and just hit reply, all the people you quoted will be in the reply page.

I am putting up a vid tomorrow.


I can do a solid single, just can't et up from rep #2.


I really don't think there is an exercise for getting better at GHRs than just doing them themselves, but if I HAD to pick one, it would be heavier good mornings.

[runningback25]

No thanks jeff

came in to post good mornings

[bodyhard]

I don't think GM, SLDL, or Leg curls will help with GHR the way I am doing them on a contraption as oppose to the GHR machine itself.

The best way to get better at it, is to simply do them more.

oooh , i wanna see, i wanna see ! Dead straight & parallel? You must have some strong hamstrings! I'm jealous!

I did a hamstring drop set this morning , and SLDL's and then attempted the GHR. Mistake - couldn't even go half as far as i usually can .

Upper body tomorrow so will try GHR when legs are fresh.

I do my GHR after my SLDL,

My routine is
Leg curls
SLDL
GHR

I might try them first next time around. I fear doing them first as they are very taxing on my hams and I don't want to pull a hamstring. That is the last thing I want right now.

I did them first. I did 3 or 4 sets of singles. Well, they turned out to be singles because I couldn't rise from the 2nd rep.

And then I did some where I let myself drop at the bottom and worked in getting myself back up

Then squatting and the rest of lower. But when I got to GMs I noticed the *feel* on the way up is similar, so I went much heavier than usual and did less reps---4-5.


But yep. Just like when people ask me "how can I get better at pull-ups?" I tell them to keep pulling up. This is the same. More practice with GHRs are gonna make better GHRs.


Getting 2 in a row would be nice...

[discdoggie]

You must have some strong hamstrings! .

My left one is very strong, lol.

My right is trying to catch up but likely never will.

Slow your roll woman!
