On the GHR; yes they are really tough. The guy in that video is doing them the hard way, he doesn't have his feet locked against the plate and he is doing them on his knees (the advanced position) and not using the full ROM (you can do them as a back ext into a hamstring curl, his more resembles what you would do on the ground).

I was actually surprised how many I could do in the one time I have found a GHR station. But I can actually do a rep or two of natural GHR's on the floor (as long as the feet are anchored without my calves cramping).

i do ass to the ground squats now but with lighter weight 80-90kg, the glute ham raises are with no weight so it´s only bodyweight for now

i also do alot deeper leg press and i press with the heels and that makes it so much harder

Max please post a video of this. You cannot just change your form overnight, in fact I wouldn't recommend changing it while you are leading up to a competition (unless the previous form was going to cause an injury).

All exercises can be dangerous. GHR is not any more "dangerous" than deads, squat and so on.

True, but doing these raises without a spotter is more likely to end badly. You could do them on the ground with someone holding your ankles down.

Or maybe I'm just being a pussy. :carduindisguise

For God's sake guys, give max some credit for at least trying. We preach that he does this and that and bash him for trying to adress the issues. "You should do ATG squats in stead of those n00b quarters!" and then we tell him not to change anything leading up to a contest. The guy is finally giving in to some of the advice we've been trying to give and then he gets bashed. Not good enough.

Max, cool that you're trying to better your approach to bodybuilding

I've gained some respect for max over the past several weeks. He has continued to stay positive through all the negative comments and what not.

 

[Hypocrisy86]

I agree, Max's determination is amazing, and continues to go through the bashing and negativity from some/most posts...

I couldn't agree more.

Max, I agree with Pain, you've really become a bodybuilder than people can look up to, as strange as that sound. What people have to do is put a blindfold on life to achieve what they desire. And, you my freind, have this drive. As long as you keep this up, you'll turn your physique around.

Just keep reading and learning, and eventually applying.

Keep up the good work bud, let these next couple of weeks be the best of your career.

I was more concerned that he may have tried to change too quickly while being on a diet and be rounding his back in trying to get the depth, or coming forward too much out of the hole. That's why I wanted the video so that I/we could check.

But yes I will echo the sentiments of yourself and Pain, Max you have been putting in some good hard yards. Keep up the good work!
