The Glute Ham Developer from Bigger Stronger Faster

The below link is to impress upon you how cautious one should be when doing GHD sit ups.  GHD sit ups are something to be worked up to when performing high reps.  Of course "high reps" is going to mean different things to different people.  If your experience with GHD sit ups is limited it is necessary to scale back the reps.  The GHD sit ups, when over done, will be felt two days later.  The soreness will stay with you for at least a few days. Really over doing it will make you feel as if you can't straighten up–not beause your back is sore, but because your abs are!

If you didn't know…..now you know!
