Description

The equipment in the image is a Glute-Ham Developer (GHD) machine, a specialized piece of strength training apparatus designed to target the posterior chain muscles. General Description This machine typically features a heavy-duty steel frame with a cushioned hip pad and adjustable ankle rollers. The design allows the user to securely anchor their feet and perform highly effective, isolated exercises that engage the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and lower back muscles. The angle of the pad and the foot placement are usually adjustable to accommodate different user heights and exercise variations. Key Features Padded Support: A large, angled pad provides support for the hips and upper thighs during exercises. Foot Rollers: Adjustable rollers secure the user's lower legs/ankles, allowing for dynamic movement. Sturdy Construction: Built for stability and safety, often found in commercial gym settings due to its robust design. Versatility: Although primarily known for glute-ham raises, it facilitates a range of movements including hyperextensions and GHD sit-ups.
