Comments

This is an advanced exercise performed on Glute Ham Raise Apparatus. This movement is also known as Barbell Hamstring Raise. Exercise can be performed without added weight until more resistance is needed. Dorsal flexion of ankle reduces active insufficiency of Gastrocnemius allowing it to assist in knee flexion.
