Isn't that just showing what a leg extension is before saying what to do without it??

Further on on the article it shows a leg exercise using a bench instead of a machine.

It’s a seated leg curl machine.

You can get a good quality sissy squat bench for less than £150 online.

Gives a fantastic quad workout and the thing can be propped up against a wall to save space;

Many years ago I used to do leg extensions with a dumbbell. Later on I was able to treat myself to a pair of iron boots that a bar goes through and you add weight either side. They were actually pretty good for leg extensions. Not so much for leg curls which you had to do on the floor to stop your knee joint over extending and if you pulled your legs back over 90 degrees you were buggered. Almost literally.

fu**ing hell, I used to feel a bit special squatting 4 plates a side but now getting out of bed feels like a challenge some days. Can only imagine how these feel, didn't even know such a movement existed! Have you ever tried Nordic curls? I've not been to a gym equipped with a Roman chair in probably a decade or more, just don't see them about anymore

Is that a knee torturing device?

With a little bit of work, that glute ham could double up as sissy squat, too... couple of holes to allow the foot bar to lock lower down & some padding on the foot plate - cushty (just don’t get that weight post stuck up your arse!)

I had this on me powertec

Holy s**t. 

He makes that look so easy, and I'm sure as hell it wouldn't be.

It's not, it's kind of like a GHR where it takes a fair while to get used too. When teaching other i'll often position the bench in front of a rack (bolted down) and tie a band around it for them to hold when going back, takes a bit of the weight off. I usually hold a 25kg plate and find that plenty of extra weight.

No worse than a seated extension imo.

I had to look that up, I've always known them as a glute ham raise. I do them on the below kind of kit;

Very good for the hamstrings, i find them excellent for brining up my deadlift and squat. You can do a back extension on the same kit.
