GHR raises on ball vs GHR machine

[jijin]

Is it just me or is the GHR on the ball a little easier than the GHR machine?

[Craig]

Its easier.

That's an exercise I would really like to see on video. Maybe a comparison of the GHR on the ball versus the Back Extension??

[Eustace]

Are there any ways to perform GHR raises without the machine that are closer to the difficulty on the machine?

My gym dosen't have a machine so I have to use the Lat Pulldown machine. I hook my legs under the pads and put my lower legs/shins on the seat and do them that way..

That's not a GHR, that's a manual leg curl. I use to do that before I was told it wasn't a GHR, too.

I'm interested in this ball idea, though. Even though it's easier, does it still work like a GHR?

[Alcoholiday]

there's really no replacement for a "real" GHR on a GHR machine.

[Matthew]

shit.

I seen this called a natural GHR by other trainers on the board.
