Chances are you do not have access to a reverse hyper machine so unless you build on to fit your squat rack it will be tough. Do a search in the powlifting forum for reverse hyper plans I'm sure they're posted somewhere if you can't find it PM me and I'll locate some for you.

Now there are ways to do this without the machine but IMO they're not nearly as effective.

How to make a Rev. Hyper:

I also think a section of 1.5 inch pipe (it is strong and the same diameter the center hole on a plate) would work well in conjunction with the power rack model.

You would need:
A. 2 "T" Junction's
B. 4 8 inch nipples
C. A custom cut length of 1.5 inch pipe, for most folks it will be in the 25-35 inch length. This will be the swing arm.
D. A small piece of PVC pipe, big enough to fit over your catch pin on you power rack and small enough to fit thru the "T" Junction.

After building a Rev. Hyper "Deck" for your Power Rack (See attached links above) measure the distance from where the pin will be set during the performance of Rev. Hypers to the floor, subtract the distance added by the T junctions and the amount of floor clearance needed for a 45lb plate, make sure there is enough room for your feet to clear the floor at the bottom of the movement too. This distance is the length of custom cut 1.5 inch pipe you will need. To assemble it all, place one of the T junctions on each end of the the custom cut swing arm. Put the nipples on the T junctions, in such a manner as to allow both nipples to be loaded during the movement at the bottm and booth of the nipples to pass over the catch pin of the power rack. Put the pvc pipe over your catch pin and slip the whole contraption of 1.5 inch pipe onto the catch pin also, allowing it to rest on the PVC pipe in the center of the catch pin. The PVC pipe will prevent the T junction from wearing a groove in your catch pin. Get some Rev. Hyper straps from Dave at www.elitefts.com, add weight, and you have a Rev. Hyper machine.

ERM NO I wasn't what I'm doing is my brother and me are going to split the money down the middle and both of us will pay for it on our own. We saw it was ONE HELL of a deal that couldn't be passed up. Just have to make some extra cash to get it. JULY 2 I'll be getting them. I started working extra hours to pay for it and took one day less of seeing my girlfriend. BUT HEY A GHR and rev hyper is worth it.
