GHD vs. Reverse Hyper

[Rival]

considering to add to my home gym. I’ve been interested in both for sometime. I originally liked the idea of a reverse hyper but now leaning towards the GHD considering you can do Reverse Hypers on there as well with a band.

For those who programmed either of the 2 pieces of equipment into their routine/or own them; does it justify the cost? Notice improvements in your posterior chain? Help with strength/core overall? Notice drastic improvements in squat/deadlift? Or does this just sit in the corner of your gym unused?

Just from my personal experience in powerlifting and as a competitor with back injuries from my time in the Army, the Reverse Hyper is irreplaceable. You can’t put a cost on having a healthy back, and you also can’t trade not having back pain after a heavy squat or deadlift day. I just bought one from Titan for my home gym and it’s amazing, although on their site it’s called the HPND, not a reverse hyper, just due to copyright issues with Westside Barbell.

I feel you on the back pain. That’s what opted me to start looking into one. I do think though with a decent GHD I could pull off reverse hypers with bands, and could be the best bang for my buck. Limited space/budget otherwise wish I could have both.

I really wish gyms were open right about now. Just so I could go do a “trial period” and just use the reverse hyper for a week to see how it does for me in terms of my lower back. I’ve never tested one out yet.

I understand. Well whatever you decide, I hope you get the rehabilitations you need to deal with the pain. I know how shitty it can be
