i am thankful to see across training videos, lots more people doing glute ham raises, what has been bugging me of late, is how often i now see people doing these with really very strange technique.
so teaching points:
drive through your toes, this will allow for much greater glute ham and calf contraction and less lower back recruitment
(note in the vid, Corinnes calfs firing)
keep your hips in neutral, imagine a line from your knee up through your hips to your shoulders, this line should remain perfectly straight at all times
slow eccentrics!! ...imagine loading and stretching the ham
at the bottom of the move do not break that line through your hips to knee, so no bending under the pad.
to initiate the concentric phase, you must actively fire your hamstrings, like a hammy curl, so drive through the foot plate and contract hams to drop the knee, then squeeze hard and pull body back up. at the top of the move squeeze glutes HARD for a one count
here is a video of Corinne, all the way through im correcting her and ensuring form is right, its v hard to feel exactly whats going on with this move so have someone correct you if need be.
