8. About 70% of the total body weight is being lifted, due to the apex point being located directly under the middle to upper femur, creating an
aggressive lever on the hip, low back and sacral area. Creating a heavy and long lever in the hip/back area and add in a little speed and you have
yourself a nice little chiropractic basket.
9. When rising up to the top of the position, the knee has a tremendous amount of extension forces going through it, subjecting it to both hyper-
extension and shear.
10. There is a high risk of tearing the hamstring muscle due to the legs being locked and the speed of the movement at the top range of motion.
There are many different exercises out there which strengthen the trunk and hip flexors. The risk versus reward just doesnt add up well with the
GHD sit-up exerc ise. Come to think of it, the only reward will be a financial one for an orthopedic surgeon when he has to operate on the GHD sit-up
vict im.
In the strength and conditioning arena, GHD sit-ups is not the first, and will not be the last exercise that blatantly needs to be policed.
