A couple sets of very deep, very slow, stiff legged deadlifts with dumbells are my prescription. No weird hyper extensions and helps your other lifts by increasing flexibility and grip strength.

Don't see them used much at the gym.

I’ve got one. I personally don’t use it nearly enough to feel like I’ll ever get a good return on my investment for it, but hopefully that’ll change in the future. My wife likes it a lot though.

I bought a cheap Roman chair on Craigslist. Ordered Titans ghd pads and cut a piece of plate steel and bolted them to it and made one for about $100. My wife uses it a lot. I never have.

For me after outfitting a gym with- quality bar and plates, squat rack, maybe a sled, I would consider one. It's good for accessory work (GH raises, back/hip extensions, GHD situps) but that's pretty much all it's good for. If you have the space and the money go for it, but it would be far secondary. Just a "nice to have"

I picked up a nice used one from a gym that had some extras from a competition. I really liked them after hurting my back, but i haven't used mine in a year or two. So I'd get one if you have space and can get a good deal on one, but I wouldn't spend $1000 on a new one.

Found a used Rogue Abrams 2.0 for $300 bucks. It was like new so I picked it up. Definitely better than $800 shipped from Rogue.
I had no idea how weak my hamstrings were until trying an unassisted GH raise. It’s going to be a while before mastering this movement. Thanks for the help. |

The closest thing to a good workout I've gotten out of mine was the day I carried it down to the basement. It's a convenient place to hang towels and lifting belts though.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never done GH raises? At first I thought it would be great for my back, but I quickly learned it was not. I can use it without pain now but I just don't feel like it's doing much me. |

Yeah, now and again. I don't know...maybe I just need to do more of them, more often. At first I thought it would be great for my back, but I quickly learned it was not. I can use it without pain now but I just don't feel like it's doing much me. |

I'll give it another go. Today is deadlift day...so probably not today.

My gym bought one from titan on sale for around $400. It’s an obvious Abraham knock off. Well worth the money. Not worth it for a grand. Not to me
