Glute-ham raise is a staple of any proper strength program, and rightly so. This movement places a large amount of tension on the posterior chain due to activation across multiple joints. In my experience unless athletes are instructed by a competent coach very poor and potentially dangerous will be used. Proper execution of this movement is critical , failure to instruct young athletes on correct technique often results in compensation for weakness of hamstrings by hyper extending the spine. To avoid this potentially dangerous position I have begun utilizing old fashion glute-ham setup which has worked wonders in terms of posterior chain development.

    Anything to keep your toes down and any cushion for yout knees would work. Keep workin on it and eventually you will be able to raise and lower yourself with only your glutes and hamis. It takes some crazy strength though... Keep workin, you'll get there.
