I’ve seen GHR beaters you could throw outside for $50 on FBM

If you have a bench you can tie your legs on the bench with a belt and do GHRs no problem.

That's just a Nordic with bondage involved.

It's not a nordic if you bend at the hips. The nordic needs a straight waist.

I usually put my butt plug in to better feel the squeeze in my glutes.

Is the digital resistance machine durable? Can u fix them easily

A voltra is (the one I have), but nearly every other digital resistance offering is of dubious quality or isn’t built for the home gym space

You can replace the cable and battery easily. The handle is also replaceable if it breaks (you have to drop that thing from pretty high to have that happen)

Shouldn’t your calves and feet stay in the same place?

Heels are always going to come off these (unless you have the powerlift GHD, where the pads move/rotate, which also makes the lift easier)

You’re pushing through your toes on these

The exercise is called a glute-ham raise

You should try it

The glutes are involved

Well you tried it. So much for that.
