B-3-Back & Hamstrings (2)

Overall good workout and I finally managed to do the glute ham raise as per your video instruction. To get over my fear of falling flat on my face, I just brought a flat bench to the lat pulldown machine. I discovered immediately that i would need the lat pull bar for assistance. I have never felt my hams and glutes get worked like they did when doing the glute ham raise. I most definitely felt it!

B-3-Back and Hamstrings (1)

I've been battling allergies and I've got this annoying head cold. So, my workouts have been a little less than stellar.

Had difficulty with the glute ham raise of which i provided notes for below.

Attempting this was an epic fail. Unfortunately, the lat pulldown machines are located in an area where there's lots of foot traffic AND it was peak hours. I was scared I might fall on my face. I did watch your video and I think next time, I'll use a stick. I, instead, went on this lower back extension machine.

Standing Leg Curl
50 lbs. x 12 Reps.

lying leg curl machine was broke at my gym. Sub'd this instead.
