Specifications

Why Choose The Knight?

The BOLT Fitness The Knight Adjustable Glute Ham Developer is an excellent choice for facilities and athletes looking for a versatile machine dedicated to posterior-chain development.

GHD exercises can be challenging, and proper positioning is important for maintaining control and getting the most from each movement. The Knight's adjustable configuration allows users to customize the setup to their individual body dimensions and training preferences.

The machine is particularly valuable because it supports several exercises rather than being limited to a single movement. Glute-ham raises can be used for demanding hamstring development, while back extensions and hip extensions provide additional options for training the glutes and lower back. GHD-based abdominal exercises can also add significant core-training variety.

For athletic facilities, posterior-chain strength is especially valuable because the hamstrings and glutes contribute to sprinting, jumping, running, acceleration, and many strength movements. For bodybuilding and general strength training, the Knight provides an effective way to add direct posterior-chain work to a training program.

Muscles Worked

Hamstrings

The hamstrings are the primary muscle group trained during glute-ham raises. They contribute to both knee flexion and hip extension.

Glutes

The gluteus maximus works strongly during hip-extension movements and contributes significantly to glute-ham raises and back extensions.

Lower Back

The erector spinae and other spinal-extensor muscles help stabilize and control the torso during GHD exercises.

Core

Depending on the exercise performed, the Knight can train:

• Rectus abdominis
• Obliques
• Transverse abdominis
• Deep core stabilizers

Supporting Muscles

Other muscles may contribute depending on the movement, including:

• Hip flexors
• Adductors
• Calves
• Spinal stabilizers
