Glute Ham Raise - Executing effectively?

[Nooomoto]

Does your gym have one of those things used to do the back raise?



Since my gym doesn't have a GHR machine either, and I found using the lat machine method to be overly easy, I do this:
I take the back raise bench and put it on it's lowest setting so that the top pads that are supposed to be at your waist are at your knees when in the machine, and then just proceed to do the GHR exercise.

My gym doesn't unfortunately. Cheers for the suggestion.

Although, since posting this thread i've started executing a 4 second eccentric and noticed quite a big difference.

Although soreness isn't necessarily attributed to a worked muscle, with a muscle like the hamstrings and an exercise like GHR, I would expect at least a little soreness until the body adapts.
