The Glute-Ham Raise. One of the fundamental exercises in my training program for posterior chain development. The Basics: The same basic form holds true regardless of your current strength level or variation youre using. Set up with the knees either directly on or slightly behind the pad, with the feet firmly on the platform and the back of the calves pressed lightly against the upper ankle hook. Begin with the torso perpendicular to the floor. Next, squeeze the hamstrings, glutes, and abs, and lower under control until the torso is parallel to the floor. From there, return to the starting position by pushing the toes into the foot plate (which activates the gastrocnemius) and pulling up with the hamstrings. Be sure to keep the glutes contracted.
