Glute - Ham Raises on Lat Pulldown

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)






Posted by: Tom_B

I tried doing Glute - Ham raises for the first time today .. problem is , is that the seat on the Lat pulldown is really small , so when I get in postion my knees went over the edge of the seat slightly .. I can move them back a little bit more so there just behind the edge of the seat but when I do the exercise because of where my knees are postioned it puts a little strain on my knees ..
I know my knees are suppos to be half way on the seat but since I can't do that , should I do them with the knees slightly over , or with them slightly behind the edge?

you need to do them on the low pulley

How would I do them on the low Pulley .. I thought you could only do them on the Lat pulldown or the seated calf machine (which isn't an option becuase the seated calf machine is right up against a wall .. )

I did them like this

except with the whole knee issue ..

What ever feels better and gives you less problems.. They would be more challening with your knee hanging over, which is how I would do them..as long as the edge doesnt dig into you shin too badly

That link only stays at the home page. use this to get the link from the address bar for a specific exercise. http://www.bsu.edu/webapps/strengthlab/exercise.asp

Ok thanks , I think I'll do them with my knees hanging over slightly , it's the most comfortable anyways.

It changed for me (use the link http://www.bsu.edu/webapps/strengthlab/exercise.asp to locate the exercise for the link directly to that exercise. Not the home.asp page)


here you go : http://www.bsu.edu/webapps/strengthl...s.asp?exid=177
