Not a lot of gyms carry this piece of equipment so here is a variation i started doing today. Derek sure does have some freaky legs

Thats funny you brought this up.

I just bitched at the owner of the gym I go to that they don't have a glute ham raise. He said he is going to look for one, but in the meantime he had an exercise to show me that would be comparable.

Then he proceeded to hop on the lat pulldown pad and do those exact movements.
It was a little odd as the pad for your ass on there is skinny. Hard to get your legs situated on there, but the lat pulldown I have at home works perfectly, nice wide pad to use for the knees.

And I tried these for the last 2 weeks, even without weight, they are a killer. lol

My gym got rid of the glute ham raise! I wanted to cry i came in one day and all the old nautilus machine with the cam systems where gone as well as my beloved glute-ham raise, these things add slabs of mass to your hams. I've tried going them on a lat pulldown but it's just not the same

Interesting that he uses the lat bar to take some of the strain off.

I saw a couple of the related clips:
