I bet that rev hyper really helps with bringing your squat and DL up?

I never understood why reverse hypers costs a grand until I got one.
It’s because they’re worth it. I wish I bought one years ago.[/quote]

Would you suggest getting a Reverse Hyper over a GHR?[/quote]
That is a tough question for me having not really ever used a GHR. I do not have one in my home facility as where I do have the Reverse-Hyper. Sorry if I am not any help on your question.

It’s cool, I’d like to get one or the other in the next 6 months or so, which is why I asked.

I’d suggest getting both. Otherwise, I couldn’t really say one over the other, because they do different things. I like the GHR because I can grease the groove with it if I wanted to and use it for other stuff (back extensions and sit up), and it’s a great way to get some more hamstring work in, but the reverse hyper is awesome because it’s one of the few ways to directly train the lower back without putting weight on your back or in your hands.[/quote]

I don’t really find option #2 really simulates a GHR well. There is no swing through action on the eccentric, and the resistance doesn’t really kick in until late into the movement. I tried a lot of work arounds until I just broke down and got one, and it was a night and day difference.

Been squatting and deadlifting on the same day for years. I keep getting stronger.

That’s right…
I squat ‘heavy’ and then take a few singles. Not a problem and I’m an old fuck. You young spry motherfuckers aught to be kicking ass doing something like this. get after it and it will come.

Hey now haha, we’re out here givin it our best crack. Cut us some slack haha.
Ive been squatting and DL on the same day 2x a week for about 2 months now. To varying intensities and volume. I like it as its a good chance to just practice form more often and not focus on always going heavy, since im about 13 weeks away from a meet I think its a good opportunity to fix weak areas.
I’m squatting between 85-95% and then doing deadlifts at 70% first day, front squats from 85-95% second day along with deadlifts from 85-95%, and then back squats at 70%.
