Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper GHD Specs
---
Weight capacity: 500 lbs
Build: 8-gauge, 11-gauge, and 14-gauge steel
Uses: 6 machines in 1
Dimensions: 56" L x 23" W
Weight: 105 lbs
--
Freak Athlete Nordic Bench
--
The Nordic Hyper GHD has 9 Nordic curl regressions starting at 45 degrees.
The Nordic curls are done at full range of motion which I believe are more beneficial than partial Nordics.
It regression goes down in 5 degree increments until you get to a flat nordic curl bench.
You can also do decline nordic curls if you're a beast!
--
Decline Sit Up Bench
--
The decline set up allows you to do sit ups and leg raises.
Handles on the footplate make it easy to get into position and hang on while doing leg raises
--
Lower Back Extension Machine
--
With the Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper GHD, I can do 90 degree and 45 degree hyperextensions.
The length of the back extension machine hip pad has 12 settings that can be adjusted to fit users between 5 feet and 7 feet tall.
The hip pad is adjustable to create an opening that makes it comfortable for guys to avoid crushing their jewels while doing back extensions.
--
GHD/Reverse Hyper
--
The GHD set up is the same as the 90 degree back extension except you're adding the GHD pad.
This same GHD can be used for reverse hypers.
These are non-pendulum reverse hyperextensions.
You can use resistance bands to make them more challenging.
--
Hip Thrust Machine
--
The hip thrust bench set up uses one of the leg rollers.
This can also be used for Bulgarian split squats

[@dg2973]

this machine looks so good, versatile and well builded, review is very detailed just fantastic

[@ShreddedDad]

It’s a beast

[@Thepokechoprx]

Great detailed review and it was nice that you showed how to switch between exercises. I can’t believe the ingenuity they had when making this machine. The magnetic kickstand for the lower degrees for Nordic just shows they really took their time and thought it out the details.

[@ShreddedDad]

They’re geniuses 🧠

[@Fitforacting]

I can’t wait to see the full breakdown for the Sled Tred. I think having the Nordic GHD, Sled Tred, and the prx system would be the perfect gym for a smaller space. You have no idea how bad I want to get my Sled Tred 😂

[@ShreddedDad]

Yeah can do a lot with those 3 products. When does the SledTred ship?

[@Fitforacting]

@@ShreddedDad probably another 3 weeks.

[@ShreddedDad]

That’ll be here before you know it

[@BrassPeace]

You always do the best reviews. Thanks!

[@ShreddedDad]

I appreciate you watching 🙏

[@GavinBrown]

You do some damn good reviews. Thank you.

[@ShreddedDad]

Thanks for watching 💪

[@lilypagan4019]

Omg! I love this machine! Phenomenal!

[@ShreddedDad]

👊

[@thecappy]

They just released a leg extension/leg curl attachment and I finally pulled the trigger on the whole set up.

[@ShreddedDad]

Sweet!

[@freakathleteco]

LET'S GOOOOO!

[@antoniomalave6093]

I purchased mine awhile ago. Love the versatility of it.

[@ShreddedDad]

Insane how much they were able to pack into one machine

[@silentmax9]

thanks for the step by step tutorials. made it easy to know how it works

[@ShreddedDad]

You bet 👊

[@tks3782]

Very clear and helpful review, thanks very much!

[@ShreddedDad]

You’re welcome

[@RobertMiller-sh7gb]

Great review!

[@ShreddedDad]

Thanks for stopping by 👊

[@chiyeunglau4322]

Just got mine!

[@ShreddedDad]

Sweet!

[@ShreddedDad]

What do you think so far?

[@Somtric]

Do you know what the functional reasoning for making the taller/bigger rubber feet for the machine is?

[@ShreddedDad]

To improve stability

[@Somtric]

Ah okay, because the one controlling their Instagram couldn't answer this. But does it improve stability, raising the frame from the ground? Well, I hope so. Because I sold the v1 and bought the v2 :)@@ShreddedDad

[@ShreddedDad]

Feels very stable to me. Just make sure you assemble the frame tightly and turn the adjustment knobs all the way to the right

[@jarrydhay1255]

Just got mine, nordics and hypers feel solid! whats the band ankle strap setup youve got for reverse hypers? (Brands)

[@ShreddedDad]

Ankle straps ➡️ ShreddedDad.com/OmniStrap Resistance band tubes ➡️ ShreddedDad.com/tubes

[@jarrydhay1255]

@@ShreddedDad thankyou

[@ShreddedDad]

@jarrydhay1255 you’re welcome

[@stowlo]

For reverse hypers on this model I put a pulley on the band hook and attached it to my functional trainer stack. Real smooth and the cable and pulley is like $30 on Amazon. Really like it.

[@ShreddedDad]

That’s a cool idea. May have to try that out. I have plenty of pulleys and cable machines.

[@THEREALTWISTEDINSANE]

Did you keep this over the Nord Ex?

[@ShreddedDad]

I have both. Let me know if you have questions

[@ShreddedDad]

Here’s a quick comparison video kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XEg3-NopeSpsUsi=baM22-3hk52oyzwR

[@THEREALTWISTEDINSANE]

Which do you prefer for hypers?

[@ShreddedDad]

@THEREALTWISTEDINSANE I like having the option to do 45° and 90° hypers so Freak’s wins that one for me. Both works great at 45° though

[@jeremypresutti]

Great review! Except that they actually tell you the rear peg is ONLY for standing up, not for weight.

[@ShreddedDad]

From what I’ve done, I haven’t had to use it to counterweight but it’s there

[@jeremypresutti]

@@ShreddedDad yeah I know it's there, just that all the videos by Freak Athlete they very bluntly say not to. Not sure if there's stability issues or what. I haven't put weight on it only on the lower horns.

[@freakathleteco]

​@@jeremypresutti We made a few small changes to the Nordic Hypers which shipped out starting in February, including the one reviewed here. One of these was reinforcing the main frame so that weight plates are not needed for counterweight on the back. We are going to change the shape so it can't load weight in the future. Some customers would load weight here in GHD Sit-Ups instead of the front which is a safety concern for example. Hope that helps! -Benji (Founder)

[@jeremypresutti]

@@freakathleteco yep I caught that on your videos and have made sure NOT to load plates on it. Love the thing tho btw

[@fereydountaslimi4130]

I purchased one last week and mine is stuck in half way open I have lossened everything green and blue and every other color knobs and the damn thing will not fold or extend. Any ideas, should I use a hammer. I throw away the box otherwise I would return it

[@ShreddedDad]

Don’t use a hammer. Let me see what Freak Athlete suggests and I’ll get back to you.

[@fereydountaslimi4130]

Ok I am not a patient person. I hit the other side of the knobs with hammer , hearda click and now eveyrthing seems to move. I found the instruction video extremely badly done. the pcitures are out of proportions, too quick, the different exercise videos should start with how to put them in the required postion. One question in the assemble video there was a velcro strap but I did not find any, did they eliminate it?@@ShreddedDad

[@ShreddedDad]

The velcro strap comes with the GHD pad

[@dylano7242]

Still way too expensive. Its just a hyper bench, nordic and cost $700. A nordic mini bench be had $200, a hyper $100-200.

[@ShreddedDad]

Plenty of machines out there to choose from. This one is space saving and that’s a big plus in home gyms
