When strength training on an exercise machine for hip extension the gluteus maximus is the primary muscle responsible for initiation of the movement. When further researching hip extension on exercise devices studies have shown and also demonstrate high electromyography activity of the hamstrings in a supine position. The Pendulum Reverse Glute-Ham takes advantage of these two factors.

To effectively train the hips on the Reverse Glute-Ham the athlete starts the movement in deep hip flexion and extends their torso simultaneously activating their glutes and hamstrings until their torso is in line with their legs.

Because the glutes along with the hamstrings biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus are the main contributors to hip extension and powerful posterior movements, the Pendulum Reverse Glute-Ham is a must exercise machine for any athletic facility.
