Glute/Ham Strap

Glute/Ham Strap

If you’d rather not pay the cost of a full-scale GHD machine, you can train the same muscle groups—arguably with an even more challenging, old school style of glute/ham raise—using Spud Inc.’s new Glute/Ham Strap. This durable strap hooks under any bench or sturdy pad to let you do glute/ham raises almost anywhere, without the need of a spotter holding your feet. Combined with a band, the Glute/Ham Strap can also be used for slightly easier, assisted GH raises in a power rack or pull-up bar. Whether you’re training for speed or strength, the simple but effective Spud Inc. Glute/Ham Strap targets the hamstrings and glutes without overtaxing the spine. It’s a proven, affordable way to get your posterior chain on track.

What is a Cable Attachment?

What cable attachments are

Cable attachments are the handles and bars that clip to a cable machine, functional trainer, or lat/row station to change the exercise — lat bars, triceps ropes, single-D handles, row/close-grip handles, ankle straps, and more. A small set of them turns one cable stack into dozens of movements.

What to look for

A rotating swivel or ball-bearing joint keeps the cable from twisting and lets the handle track your arm; comfortable, durable grips (knurled metal, rubber, or coated nylon) survive heavy use; and a standard carabiner or snap fits most machines. Match the attachment to the exercises you actually train rather than buying a giant kit you won’t use.
