(_+Glute Ham raises are hard...+_)

[rangerid]

I started doing glute ham raises today and man were they hard! i could only go donw like 3 inches before i start collapsing completely and have to use my heands to break teh fall.

Is it because i have weak glutes or hamstrings?

um... i think its because the leg curls just help the hammis (hamstrings) but the ghr's use the Glutes and the hammis

No i dont get it. you are suppose to lower yourself slowly but i can hardly lower my self at all before i collapse.

well try to start from the bottom...and then use ur hands to slowly assist u coming up!

i thought u suppose to start from top and slowly lower yourself down, tahts waht vjb says. i cant even lift myself up a tiny bit. my arms do 99% of work liftin myself up lol.

I just try to lower myself down as slowly as i can and use my arms when i am about to collapse.
