What I did was take a padded car seat and nail it to a carpenter s bench. I then placed it in front of my power rack and hooed my ankles underneath my barbell so that I wouldn t tip over. <br>Because the car seat Charniga used was padded and had a much sharper curve than the pommel horses the Russians were using, he noticed something unusual.  I noticed that when I did the exercise, the curved surface of the car seat helped me flex my knees more so that I could get a greater range of motion. Although you can t directly attribute all his lifting success to one exercise, it should be noted that in 1974 after Charniga began performing the exercise, he snatched 352 pounds, only 5 pounds off the American record in his bodyweight division.<br>In 1979 Charniga visited Russia and found that every gym he looked in had a glute-ham station, and that the exercise was an integral part of the training of Russian weightlifter. He saw that weightlifters would often perform some variation of the exercise twice in a workout, once before the workout with light weights as a warm-up, and again at the end of the workout with heavy weights as a strengthening exercise. This sensible practice was also followed in the U.S. In fact, five-time national weightlifting champion Ken Clark, whose picture appears in the BFS TotalProgram Book, began every workoutwith several sets of back extension exercises. In 1983, at a body weight of 220 pounds, Clark clean and jerked 470 pounds, an American record tht has yet to be equaled.<br>Whie in Russia, Charniga noticedthat not much had changed in regard to how the exercise was performed since that first Strength and Health article, with the exceptionthat some gyms had positioned straps to secure the feet.  They simply didn t have access to materials, or th budget, to have someone make a sophisticated glute-ham developer for them. When Charniga returned to the U.S. and told others of his finings and his uccess with the exercise himself, resourceful equipment manufacturers began experimenting with designs for a glute-ham developer. The BFS glute-ham developer, with its adjustable foot plate and rounded pelvic support represents the latest in the evolution of this apparatus.<br>The glute-ham exercise is a must for every serious strength training program. When I was hired as a strength coachfor the U.S. Air Force Academy in as helped a broad scoay trac team that won state. What an awesome accomple we had to work with nearly 1,000 athletes, the Academy needed to purchase equipment that was durable, functional and versatile.
