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 hooked 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 979 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 weightlifters. 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 natonal weightlifting champion Ken Clark, whose picture appears in the BFS Total Program Book, bega every workout with several sets of back extension exercises. In 1983, at a body weight of 220 pounds, Clark clean and jerked 470 pounds, an American record that has yet to be equaled.<br>While in Russia, Charniga noticed that not much had changed in regard to how the exercise was performed since that first Strength and Health article, with the exception that some gyms had positioned straps to secure the feet.  They simply didn t have access to materials, or the budget, to have someone make a sophisticated glute-ham developer for them. When Charniga returned to the U.S. and told others of his findings and his success 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 e their knees forward as the main part of their descent pattern.&nbsp; This puts too much pressure o the patella area besides being horribly ineffective.&nbsp; You may correct the knee-forward problem by letting the athlete hold on to a partner's hands for balance as in Figure 6.&nbsp; The athlete should "sit tall" and "spread the chest" with%0W\էuK <Y#$?ȐdH`1On.V՚qsj ']nSjZeb"1_\J\rm/Z_Ovc{m%\:vs-/.m^F\KeL17$:k{+l"hn s(hT P< E!SCQߛ.|i`5QKEhk눶Rm'=o˅p;QE|n kZ9!/E^r/p;]=k@rTK0 rnui7?}y5W柳z|vZ?w{m%a_~v* A54E=_!s' $,:c.[yx|T\z:cR+]p7bdQ efXb3`cwlG'f_ן8I9kZ@SҘ`jyR?0_\_'ZHS!q hd_*hU<-,!"M$r!>, j,iW%$4~5& (ƵWsEQLyIԭ7 6Gotl'q@z$O(hvbHi\MMٿ䙀۟F8C9/*y3C[V7(,eM}(k;gDIm {a^Mo-Bܫ{R&l:1OQ'=za>$.C@P@Ðdt΄ʠ(w.?csmdQS_lm4? /fثН)rjA\zS˚銮qPw'Wc㐪\݃qzd2%w`~ԃ~Ɩi'H,rT~U3SkX4duW>;rn#?g~iJ{xR (d??,LWl9K>WMC ;$ET)^erj@aU )FZaPspbc֤WJ4N8Ǧ6Y.3Ef:JWC ,N1>Lf8q7v;/K WN& uԚ8 SnOt;#38K LM17|/[ſfS "m]ʕlѕ SM}ļVoZ)xց%8]d ԚˈjYA%wۋT1Xm ڤ2#^u#;AZ}mV˻JjWF%bj BŁqbv<)(q4hvB>gl»cCZPPaqxRkz*T:jJj?"~5"_N,f}jZ'/Ԇfcܝc7?C)Hk)V˜Q´BkCÑCV'Qq^d5BVK4+ʤw4 Q;Ԛ#V V7BҤu-Ԑ; &hb2**$?raFVRUF_죸zGw$Q!h{TW[Cāq۷JSY󝾗ƪ7P9nߋŦ{H&Ewr[Tfe]|-aO&[5ݭF['}#3_]p+_p :C,,ܤ1k2z_ mT;M ӌ!|+^R64wRAԮ)܎!mPN9` _albMa^z0ީȏ 짡ƽ0`SOn8nzB(;fF:Iɉ`!=fJrN eR{I!oQtEqQA1ES/tf') xePIW$FwTw,e n6n~ٱW:g #HWz H)B2M3 W+>GvGllHԐ@DŽq1ZVҼQ9$6Q*l qN1#mvǀo HnԞyt<ŃaWI=1W0VvP"ݺԠ@O5jfv)`ځG\lVlZ9~'b1DBsnhݷJ`k!*BS (GNx§ӦlW9ZiޗmͿuyif`+|55Jأ֖ͧcY#u݉te:5(n'- ӓU#YΫ 4qS<"ۏQtp8a'S*.;+>#2D!JU ݂(V>}3X uDsgOϑ3@\lΉ"ͱ'͋C45%663ᇨǔn*|0Gr}'A^afuh(A4‹%Y V5PkrEbmM0kF`ʂ#38*Pч4S$R03TP#R[ilU3^%]є X8-29*H ͆:E(e:$ivX)m0bok\'F$~&)b/b:p5O=-V#&pJOW#wt;vJQ%) vPCFy7[Cs6- kP]G  H$8ӚeȜv܁|$f(~Y u8+F,Tly|MYw姹8"Z5 "vEobA4Lŋtw~#Tq>ymE˅UQӢT#ݝ.V5wiִ)U4NRIN<:8vW՗i^Z
